of the question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. All

the Committee of the Whole, the question of their adoption shall 

be put to the House en gros and without demand for division of the

without instructions. 

The resolution provides that after disposition of the amendments

Committee rise only if offered by the chair of the Committee on Appropriations or his designee and that the Chair may not entertain 

a motion to strike out the enacting words of the bill (as described 

in clause 9 of rule XVIII). The resolution provides that during consideration of the bill, the Chair may reduce to two minutes the

House Resolution 618 on the table. 

EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

The waiver of all points of order against the consideration of the 

bill (except those arising under clauses 9 or 10 of rule XXI), includes a waiver of section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act 

regarding consideration of legislation providing new budget authority in excess of a subcommittee’s 302(b) allocation of such authority, and a waiver of clause 4(c) of rule XIII (requiring a three-day 

layover of printed committee hearings). 

The rule waives clause 2 of rule XXI (prohibiting unauthorized 

appropriations or legislative provisions in an appropriations bill) 

because the bill contains unauthorized appropriations and legislative provisions.
