                Ms. Foxx, from the Committee on Rules, 
                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 206]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 206, by a nonrecord 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. 1363, the 
Department of Defense and Further Additional Continuing 
Appropriations Act, 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 bill. The resolution provides that 
the bill shall be considered as read. The resolution waives all 
points of order against provisions in the bill. The resolution 
provides one motion to recommit. Finally, the resolution waives 
clause 6(a) of rule XIII (requiring a two-thirds vote to 
consider a rule on the same day it is reported from the Rules 
Committee) with respect to any resolution reported before April 
11, 2011, providing for consideration or disposition of a 
measure making or continuing appropriations for the fiscal year 
ending September 30, 2011.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the bill includes a waiver of section 302(f) of the 
Congressional Budget Act, prohibiting consideration of a 
measure which causes the applicable allocation of new budget 
authority under subsections 302(a) or (b) to be exceeded. 
Although the joint resolution reduces spending by $12 billion 
over the one week life of the further additional 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 bill to 
be scored at a higher level, thus the bill is presumed to 
breach the Appropriation Committee's section 302 allocations. 
The Committee is not aware of any other points of order against 
consideration of the bill.
    Although the rule waives all points of order against 
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 the provisions in the bill is 
prophylactic in nature.
