EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

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

4901 includes a waiver of clause 3(e)(1) of rule XIII (‘‘Ramseyer’’), 

requiring a committee report accompanying a bill amending or repealing statutes to show, by typographical device, parts of statute 

affected. The waiver is provided because the submission provided 

by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform was insufficient to meet the standards established by the rule in its current 

form. The Committee on Rules continues to work with the House 

Office of Legislative Counsel and committees to determine the 

steps necessary to comply with the updated rule. 

Although the resolution waives all points of order against provisions in H.R. 4901, the Committee is not aware of any points of 

order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature. 

Although the resolution waives all points of order against consideration of H.J. Res. 88, the Committee is not aware of any points 

of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.

88 includes a waiver of clause 5(a) of rule XXI, which prohibits a

tariff measures.
