PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE BILL (H.R. 2082) TO AUTHORIZE

INTELLIGENCE AGENCY RETIREMENT AND DISABILITY SYSTEM, AND 

FOR OTHER PURPOSES 

MAY 9, 2007.—Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed 

Mr. HASTINGS, from the Committee on Rules, 

submitted the following 

R E P O R T 

[To accompany H. Res. 388] 

The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration House 

Resolution 388, by a vote of 8 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 for consideration of H.R. 2082 to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2008 for intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the United States Government, the 

Community Management Account, and the Central Intelligence 

Agency Retirement and Disability System, and for other purposes. 

The resolution provides for one hour of general debate equally divided and controlled by the Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. 

The resolution waives all points of order against consideration of 

the bill except those arising under clause 9 of rule XXI. The resolution considers as an original bill for the purpose of further amendment the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended 

by the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. The committee 

amendment shall be considered as read. The resolution waives all 

points of order against the committee amendment except those 

arising under clause 9 of rule XXI. 

The resolution makes in order those amendments printed in this 

report and waives all points of order against such amendments except those arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI. The resolution 

provides one motion to recommit with or without instructions. Finally, the resolution permits the Chair, during consideration of the 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with HEARING

2 

bill in the House, to postpone further consideration until a time 

designated by the Speaker. 

EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

The waiver of points of order against consideration of the bill (except those arising under clause 9 of rule XXI) includes waivers of 

clause 4(a)(1) of rule XIII (3-day layover), clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII 

(oversight findings), clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII (statement of performance goals), and clause 3(d)(1) of rule XIII (constitutional authority). In addition, the waiver of all points of order against consideration of the bill except those arising under clause 9 of rule 

XXI includes a prophylactic waiver of section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act (prohibiting consideration of legislation providing 

new budget authority in excess of a subcommittee’s 302(b) allocation of such authority) because the total budget authority authorized in the bill is classified and therefore unavailable. Finally, the 

waiver of all points of order against consideration of the bill except 

those arising under clause 9 of rule XXI includes a prophylactic 

waiver of clause 10 of rule XXI (regarding measures affecting direct 

spending or revenues) because the classified annex of the bill is unavailable for review; however, the Committee is not aware of any 

measures in the unclassified portion of the bill violating clause 10 

of rule XXI.
