               Mr. Woodall, from the Committee on Rules, 
                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 92]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 92, by a record vote of 8 to 4, 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.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 against consideration of the bill. The 
resolution waives all points of order against provisions in the 
bill. The resolution makes in order only those amendments 
received for printing in the Congressional Record dated at 
least one day before the day of consideration of the amendment 
(but no later than February 15, 2011). Each 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 read. The resolution 
provides one motion to recommit with or without instructions.
    Section 2 of the resolution provides that during 
consideration of H.R. 1, clause 2(f) of rule XXI shall not 
apply to amendments addressing objects within more than one 
suballocation made by the Committee on Appropriations under 
section 302(b) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
    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.
