EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

Although the resolution waives all points of order against consideration of the motion, the Committee is not aware of any points of 

order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature. 

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

3210 includes a waiver of the following: 

• Clause 9(a)(2) of rule XXI, which prohibits consideration of a 

bill or joint resolution not reported by a committee, unless the 

chair of each committee of initial referral has caused a list of congressional earmarks, limited tax benefits, and limited tariff benefits in the bill or a statement that the proposition contains no congressional earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits 

to be printed in the Congressional Record prior to its consideration. 

However, it is important to note that the chair of the Committee 

on Appropriations submitted an earmark statement to the House 

on September 28, 2013 for printing in the Congressional Record. 

The statement affirms that the bill does not contain any earmarks, 

limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits under the meaning of 

the rule. 

• 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. 

Although the resolution waives all points of order against provisions in H.R. 3210, the Committee is not aware of any points of 

order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
