order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature. 

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

The waiver is prophylactic in nature. 

Section 4 of the resolution includes a waiver of all points of order 

against consideration of a July 4th adjournment resolution. While 

adjournment resolutions are ordinarily privileged, a point of order 

could be raised against the July 4th district work period adjournment resolution for failure to comply with section 309 of the Congressional Budget Act. Section 309 prohibits the House from adjourning for more than three days in July unless the House has 

completed action on all appropriations bills. Since the House has 

not yet completed all action on appropriations bills, this provision 

is necessary.
