Section 4 of the resolution provides that it shall be in order at 

any time through the calendar day of October 6, 2013, for the 

Speaker to entertain motions that the House suspend the rules and 

that the Speaker or his designee shall consult with the Minority

EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

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

Res. 70, H.J. Res. 71, H.J. Res. 72, H.J. Res. 73, and H.R. 3230 includes 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. 

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

Res. 73 and H.R. 3230 also includes a waiver of 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 October 2, 2013 for printing 

in the Congressional Record. The statement affirms that the measures do not contain any earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited 

tariff benefits under the meaning of the rule. 

Although the resolution waives all points of order against provisions in H.J. Res. 70, H.J. Res. 71, H.J. Res. 72, H.J. Res. 73, and 

H.R. 3230, the Committee is not aware of any points of order. The 

waiver is prophylactic in nature.
