SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

The resolution provides for consideration of H.R. 1, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2011 and the Full Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011, under a modified open rule. The 

Rule provides one hour of general debate equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations. The resolution waives all points of order

amendment submitted for printing in the Congressional Record 

may be offered only by the Member who submitted it for printing 

or their designee, and each such amendment shall be considered as

Section 3 of the resolution waives the requirement of clause 6(a) 

of rule XIII for a two-thirds vote to consider a resolution from the 

Committee on Rules on the same day it is reported to the House. 

The waiver is only applicable to a resolution relating to H.R. 1 and 

only through the legislative day of February 17, 2011. 

EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

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

order. The waiver is prophylactic. 

The Committee does not expect that the waiver will encompass 

a waiver of clause 11 of rule XXI, as the bill is currently scheduled 

to be considered on the third day on which it was made available 

or thereafter. 

The resolution also waives all points of order against provisions 

in the bill. Although the resolution waives all points of order 

against the provisions in the bill, the Committee is not aware of 

any points of order against provisions in the bill. The waiver of all 

points of order against provisions in the bill is prophylactic.
