EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

The waiver of all points of order against consideration of H.R. 

4745 includes a waiver of clause 4(c) of rule XIII, which prohibits 

consideration of a general appropriations bill reported by the Committee on Appropriations from being considered in the House until 

the third calendar day on which printed hearings of the Committee 

on Appropriations thereon have been available to Members. 

The resolution includes a waiver of points of order against provisions in H.R. 4745 for failure to comply with clause 2 of rule XXI, 


jbell on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
3 

which prohibits unauthorized appropriations or legislative provisions in an appropriations bill. This waiver is necessary because 

the bill contains unauthorized appropriations and legislative provisions. 

Although the resolution waives all points of order against consideration of H.R. 4681, the Committee is not aware of any points of 

order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature. 

The waiver of all points of order against the amendment in the 

nature of a substitute to H.R. 4681 made in order as original text 

includes a waiver of Clause 7 of rule XVI, requiring that no motion 

or proposition on a subject different from that under consideration 

shall be admitted under color of amendment, because provisions 

contained in Rules Committee Print 113–45 are not germane to the 

bill as introduced. 

Although the resolution waives all points of order against the 

amendments printed in this report or against amendments en bloc 

as described in the resolution, the Committee is not aware of any 

points of order. The waiver of all points of order is prophylactic in 

nature. 

It is important to note that the estimate provided by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to the Permanent Select Committee 

on Intelligence and the Committee on the Budget is incomplete due 

to the fact that CBO is only permitted to score the unclassified portions of the bill. Because the estimate is incomplete, the Chair of 

the Committee on the Budget is unable to accurately advise the 

Chair on budget related points of order.
