R E P O R T 

[To accompany H. Res. 809] 

The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration House 

Resolution 809, 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 the conference report 

to accompany S. 524, the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery 

Act of 2016. The resolution waives all points of order against the 

conference report and against its consideration. The resolution provides that the conference report shall be considered as read. The 

resolution provides that the previous question shall be considered 

as ordered without intervention of any motion except one hour of 

debate and one motion to recommit if applicable. Debate on the 

conference report is divided pursuant to clause 8(d) of rule XXII. 

Section 2 of the resolution provides that the House has taken S. 

2943, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017, 

from the Speaker’s table, adopts an amendment in the nature of a 

substitute consisting of the text of H.R. 4909 as passed by the 

House, and adopts S. 2943, as amended. The resolution provides 

that the chair of the Committee on Armed Services or his designee 

is authorized to move that the House insist on its amendment to 

S. 2943 and request a conference with the Senate thereon.

The waiver of all points of order against the conference report to 

accompany S. 524 and its consideration includes a waiver of the following:

2 

• Clause 9 of rule XXII, which prohibits the inclusion of 

matter in a conference report not committed to the conference 

by either House; • Clause 10 of rule XXI, which prohibits the consideration of 

a bill if it has the net effect of increasing mandatory spending 

over the five-year or ten-year period. Based on the preliminary 

estimate provided by the Congressional Budget Office the conference report violates the rule over the five-year period and 

reduces direct spending by $72 million over the ten-year period; and • Section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, prohibiting consideration of legislation that would cause revenues 

to be less than the level of total revenues for the first fiscal 

year or for the total of that first fiscal year and the ensuing 

fiscal years for which allocations are provided. The violation is 

based on a preliminary estimate provided by the Congressional 

Budget Office.
