112TH CONGRESS REPORT " ! HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 1st Session 112–33 

PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE JOINT RESOLUTION (H.J. RES. 

48) MAKING FURTHER CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 

2011, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES 

MARCH 14, 2011.—Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed 

Mr. WOODALL, from the Committee on Rules, 

submitted the following 

R E P O R T 

[To accompany H. Res. 167] 

The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration House 

Resolution 167, by a record vote of 8 to 3, 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. 48, Additional Continuing Appropriations Amendments, 2011, under a 

closed rule. The resolution provides one hour of 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 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. 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 three 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 Appropriations Committee’s section 302 allocations. 

Although the rule waives all points of order against provisions in 

the joint resolution, the Committee is not aware of any points of 

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

against provisions in the joint resolution is prophylactic in nature.
