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

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 434]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 434, by a non-record 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.R. 2346, the 
``Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009,'' under a closed rule. 
The resolution provides for 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 bill except those arising under clause 9 
or 10 of rule XXI. The resolution provides that the amendment 
printed in this report shall be considered as adopted. The 
resolution provides that the bill, as amended, shall be 
considered as read. The resolution waives all points of order 
against provisions in the bill, as amended. This waiver does 
not affect the point of order available under clause 9 of rule 
XXI (regarding earmark disclosure). Finally, the resolution 
provides one motion to recommit the bill with or without 
instructions.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the bill (except those arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule 
XXI) includes a waiver of: (1) clause 4(a) of rule XIII 
(requiring a three-day layover of the committee report), (2) 
clause 4(c) of rule XIII (requiring a three-day layover of 
printed committee hearings), and (3) section 306 of the Budget 
Act (regarding provisions within the jurisdiction of the Budget 
Committee).
    The waiver of all points of order against the bill, as 
amended, includes a waiver of clause 2 of rule XXI (prohibiting 
unauthorized appropriations or legislative provisions in an 
appropriations bill) because the bill, as amended, contains 
unauthorized appropriations and legislative provisions.
