EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

The waiver of all points of order against consideration of H.R. 

622 includes a waiver of the following:

consideration of a bill dealing with any matter within the jurisdiction of the Committee on the Budget unless it is a bill or 

resolution which has been reported by the Committee on the 

Budget. 

• Section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, 

which prohibits consideration of legislation that would cause 

revenues to be less than the level of total revenues for the first 

fiscal year. 

Although the resolution waives all points of order against provisions in H.R. 622, as amended, the Committee is not aware of any 

points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
