EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

Although the resolution waives all points of order against
consideration of the motion to concur in the Senate amendment,
the Committee is not aware of any points of order. The waiver
is prophylactic in nature.
The waiver of all points of order against consideration of
H.R. 8 includes a waiver of the following:
Clause 3(d)(1) of rule XIII, which requires
the inclusion of a committee cost estimate;
Clause 10 of rule XXI, which prohibits the
consideration of a bill if it has the net effect of
increasing mandatory spending over the five-year or
ten-year period;
Section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget
Act, which prohibits consideration of legislation
providing new budget authority in excess of a 302(a)
allocation of such authority; and
Section 303 of the Congressional Budget Act,
which prohibits consideration of legislation, providing
a change in revenues for a fiscal year until the budget
resolution for that year has been agreed to.
The waiver of all points of order against provisions in
H.R. 8, as amended, includes a waiver of clause 4 of rule XXI,
which prohibits reporting a bill or joint resolution carrying
an appropriation from a committee not having jurisdiction to
report an appropriation.
Although the resolution waives all points of order against
the amendments printed in part A of this report, the Committee
is not aware of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic
in nature.
The waiver of all points of order against consideration of
H.R. 5895 includes waivers of the following:
Section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act,
which prohibits consideration of legislation within the
jurisdiction of the Committee on the Budget unless
referred to or reported by the Budget Committee; and
Section 5104 of H. Con. Res. 71, which
prohibits the consideration of a general appropriation
bill that provides for advance appropriations
The waiver of all points of order against provisions in
H.R. 5895, as amended, includes a waiver of clause 2 of rule
XXI, which prohibits unauthorized appropriations or legislative
provisions in an appropriations bill. This waiver is necessary
because the bill, as amended, contains unauthorized
appropriations and legislative provisions.
The waiver of all points of order against the amendments
printed in part B of this report includes a waiver of clause
2(c) of rule XXI, which requires that limitation amendments are
to be offered at the end of the bill. The waiver is necessary
because the limitation amendments printed in this report will
be offered at the end of each division. It should be noted that
sponsors of such amendments complied with Rules Committee
guidance when drafting amendments to the end of divisions
rather than the end of the bill.
