R E P O R T
[To accompany H. Res. 458]
The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration
House Resolution 458, by a record vote of 9 to 4, report the
same to the House with the recommendation that the resolution
be adopted.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION
Section 1 of the resolution provides for the consideration
of the Senate amendments to H.R. 3547. The resolution makes in
order a single motion offered by the chair of the Committee on
Appropriations or his designee that the House concur in the
Senate amendment to the title and concur in the Senate
amendment to the text with an amendment inserting the text of
Rules Committee Print 113-32 in lieu of the matter proposed to
be inserted by the Senate. The resolution waives all points of
order against consideration of the motion. The resolution
provides that the Senate amendments and the motion shall be
considered as read. The resolution provides one hour of debate
on the motion equally divided and controlled by the chair and
ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations.
Section 2 of the resolution provides that upon adoption of
the motion specified in Section 1 of the resolution, House
Concurrent Resolution 74 shall be considered as adopted.
Section 3 of the resolution provides that the chair of the
Committee on Appropriations may insert in the Congressional
Record not later than January 16, 2014, such material as he may
deem explanatory of the Senate amendments and the motion
specified in Section 1 of the resolution.
Section 4 of the resolution provides that on any
legislative day during the period from January 17, 2014,
through January 24, 2014: the Journal of the proceedings of the
previous day shall be considered as approved; and the Chair may
at any time declare the House adjourned to meet at a date and
time to be announced by the Chair in declaring the adjournment.
Section 5 of the resolution provides that the Speaker may
appoint Members to perform the duties of the Chair for the
duration of the period addressed by section 4 of the
resolution.
EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS
The waiver of all points of order against consideration of
the motion, includes the following:
Clause 7 of rule XVI, requiring that no motion or
proposition on a subject different from that under
consideration shall be admitted under color of amendment.
Provisions contained in Rules Committee Print 113-32 are not
germane to the underlying measure.
Clause 10 of rule XXI, prohibiting the consideration of a
bill if it has the net effect of increasing mandatory spending
over the five- or ten-year period. The waiver is necessary
because of the cost associated with provisions addressing
medically retired military personnel and survivor benefit plan
recipients.
Section 302(c) of the Congressional Budget Act, prohibiting
consideration of an appropriation measure until that committee
has made its sub-allocation under section 302(b).
Section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act, prohibiting
consideration of legislation within the jurisdiction of the
Committee on the Budget unless referred to or reported by the
Budget Committee.
