R E P O R T
[To accompany H. Res. 370]
The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration
House Resolution 370, by a record vote of 9 to 3, report the
same to the House with the recommendation that the resolution
be adopted.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION
The resolution provides closed rules for H.J. Res. 70, H.J.
Res. 71, H.J. Res. 72, H.J. Res. 73, and H.R. 3230. The
resolution provides 30 minutes of debate on each measure
equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking
minority member of the Committee on Appropriations. The
resolution waives all points of order against consideration of
each measure and provides that each measure shall be considered
as read. The resolution waives all points of order against
provisions in each measure. The resolution provides one motion
to recommit each measure.
Section 4 of the resolution provides that it shall be in
order at any time through the calendar day of October 6, 2013,
for the Speaker to entertain motions that the House suspend the
rules and that the Speaker or his designee shall consult with
the Minority Leader or her designee on the designation of any
matter for consideration pursuant to this section.
EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS
The waiver of all points of order against consideration of
H.J. Res. 70, H.J. Res. 71, H.J. Res. 72, H.J. Res. 73, and
H.R. 3230 includes a waiver of clause 11 of rule XXI,
prohibiting the consideration of a bill or joint resolution
which has not been reported by a committee until the third
calendar day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, or legal holidays
except when the House is in session on such a day) on which
such measure has been available to Members, Delegates, and the
Resident Commissioner.
The waiver of all points of order against consideration of
H.J. Res. 73 and H.R. 3230 also includes a waiver of clause
9(a)(2) of rule XXI, which prohibits consideration of a bill or
joint resolution not reported by a committee, unless the chair
of each committee of initial referral has caused a list of
congressional earmarks, limited tax benefits, and limited
tariff benefits in the bill or a statement that the proposition
contains no congressional earmarks, limited tax benefits, or
limited tariff benefits to be printed in the Congressional
Record prior to its consideration. However, it is important to
note that the chair of the Committee on Appropriations
submitted an earmark statement to the House on October 2, 2013
for printing in the Congressional Record. The statement affirms
that the measures do not contain any earmarks, limited tax
benefits, or limited tariff benefits under the meaning of the
rule.
Although the resolution waives all points of order against
provisions in H.J. Res. 70, H.J. Res. 71, H.J. Res. 72, H.J.
Res. 73, and H.R. 3230, the Committee is not aware of any
points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
