PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 2646, FARM

SECURITY ACT OF 2001

OCTOBER 2, 2001.—Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed

Mr. HASTINGS of Washington, from the Committee on Rules,

submitted the following

REPORT

[To accompany H. Res. 248]

The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration House

Resolution 248, by a nonrecord vote, 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. 2646, the Farm

Security Act of 2001, under a modified open rule. The rule provides

two hours of general debate equally divided and controlled by the

chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Agriculture. The rule waives all points of order against consideration

of the bill.

The rule provides that, in lieu of the amendments recommended

by the Committees on Agriculture and International Relations now

printed in the bill, it shall be in order to consider as an original

bill for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute rule an

amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the text

printed in part A of this report, modified by the amendment printed in part B of this report. The rule waives all points of order

against the amendment in the nature of a substitute and provides

that it shall be considered as read.

The rule further makes in order only those amendments that

have been printed in the Congressional Record before October 3,

2001, and provides that each such amendment may be offered only

by the Member who caused it to be printed or a designee and shall

be considered as read.

Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit with or without instructions.

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

includes a waiver of clause 3(c)(3) of rule XIII (requiring the incluVerDate 11-MAY-2000 02:35 Oct 03, 2001 Jkt 099008 PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR226.XXX pfrm02 PsN: HR226

sion in the report of a CBO cost estimate), which is necessary because the Committee on International Relations did not include an

adequate cost estimate in its report. The waiver also includes a

waiver of section 303 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (prohibiting consideration of legislation, as reported, providing new

budget authority, changes in revenues, or changes in the public

debt for a fiscal year until the budget resolution for that year has

been agreed to), which is necessary because the bill provides for

new budget authority that is first provided in fiscal year 2003 and

Congress has not yet approved a budget resolution for FY 03. Additionally, the waiver includes a waiver of section 401 of the Congressional Budget Act (prohibiting consideration of legislation providing

new entitlement authority which becomes effective during the current fiscal year), which is necessary because the bill provides for

new entitlement for fiscal year 2002.
