R E P O R T 

[To accompany H. Res. 399] 

The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration House 

Resolution 399, 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.J. Res. 79, the 

Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2012, under a closed rule. 

The resolution provides one hour of debate 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 the joint resolution. The resolution provides that the amendment printed in this report shall be considered as adopted and the joint resolution, as amended, shall be considered as read. The resolution waives all points of order against 

provisions in the joint resolution, as amended. Finally, the resolution provides one motion to recommit with or without instructions. 

EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

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

resolution includes a waiver of section 302(f) of the Congressional 

Budget Act, which prohibits consideration of legislation providing 

new budget authority in excess of a subcommittee’s 302(b) allocation of such authority. 

Although the resolution waives all points of order against provisions in the joint resolution, as amended, the Committee is not 

aware of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
