Although the resolution waives all points of order against provisions in H.R. 1216, the Committee is not aware of any points of 

order against provisions in the bill. The waiver is prophylactic. 

The resolution waives all points of order against consideration of 

H.R. 1540. The waiver includes a waiver of: • Clause 3(e) of rule XIII, which requires the inclusion of a comparative print for a bill or joint resolution proposing to repeal or 

amend a statute or part thereof. • Clause 4(a) of rule XIII, which prohibits consideration of legislation in the House until the third calendar day on which each report of a committee on that measure or matter has been available 

to Members, Delegates and the Resident Commissioner. While the 

Committee on Armed Services filed its report on May 17, 2011, the 

Committee requested authority to file a supplemental report, which 

includes a more comprehensive cost estimate from the Congressional Budget Office. The revised cost estimate was made publicly 

available on May 20, 2011, and the Committee on Armed Services 

filed its supplemental report on May 23, 2011. 

• Section 303 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, which 

prohibits the consideration of legislation providing new budget authority, changes in revenues, changes in public debt, new entitlement authority, or new credit authority for a fiscal year until the 

budget resolution for that year has been agreed to. While the 

House has adopted H. Con. Res. 34, the Senate has failed to act 

on a budget resolution.
