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

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 295]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 295, by a record vote of 9 to 4, 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. 2642, the 
Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013, 
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 Agriculture. 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.

                         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 of 1974, which prohibits consideration 
of legislation providing new budget authority in excess of a 
committee's 302(a) allocation for the first fiscal year. The 
waiver of all points of order against consideration of the bill 
may include a waiver of clause 11 of rule XXI, prohibiting the 
consideration of a bill or joint resolution which has not been 
reported by a committee until the third calendar day (excluding 
Saturdays, Sundays, or legal holidays except when the House is 
in session on such a day) on which such measure has been 
available to Members, Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner. 
If the bill is considered before July 12, 2013, then the waiver 
of clause 11 of rule XXI would be applicable.
    Although the rule waives all points of order against 
provisions in the bill, the Committee is not aware of any 
points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
