R E P O R T 

[To accompany H. Res. 115] 

The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration House 

Resolution 115, 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. 44, the 

‘‘Further Continuing Appropriations Amendments, 2011,’’ under a 

closed rule. The resolution waives all points of order against consideration of the joint resolution. The resolution provides that the 

joint resolution shall be considered as read. The resolution waives 

all points of order against provisions in the joint resolution. The 

resolution provides one hour of debate equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations. Finally, the resolution provides one motion to recommit. 

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. Although the joint resolution reduces spending by $2 

billion per week over the two week life of the further continuing 

appropriations, the Congressional Budget Office is required by 

scorekeeping rules to annualize the score comparing it to the 

House-passed continuing resolution (H.R. 1) causing the joint resolution to be scored at a higher level, thus the joint resolution is 

presumed to breach the Appropriation Committee’s section 302 allocations. 

The waiver of all points of order against consideration of the resolution also includes a waiver of clause 11 of rule XXI, requiring 

the three day availability of introduced measures prior to their conVerDate Mar 15 2010 02:49 Mar 01, 2011 Jkt 099008 PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR019.XXX HR019

sideration. The resolution was introduced on Monday, February 28, 

2011, and is expected to be considered as early as Tuesday, March 

1, 2011. While the resolution was introduced on Monday, February 

28, 2011, the text of the resolution was made electronically available to all Members and the public on the website of the Committee on Rules on Friday, February 25, 2011. 

Although the rule also waives all points of order against provisions in the joint resolution, the Committee is not aware of any 

points of order against provisions in the joint resolution. The waiver of all points of order against provisions in the joint resolution 

is prophylactic in nature.
