REPORT
[To accompany H. Res. 289]
The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration House
Resolution 289, by a record vote of 8 to 2, 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.J. Res. 99, making
further continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2017, and for other
purposes, under a closed rule. The resolution provides one hour of
debate equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking mi-
nority member of the Committee on Appropriations. The resolution
waives all points of order against consideration of the joint resolu-
tion. The resolution provides that the joint resolution shall be con-
sidered as read. The resolution waives all points of order against
provisions in the joint resolution. The resolution provides one mo-
tion to recommit.
EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS
The waiver of all points of order against consideration of the joint
resolution includes a waiver of the following:
* Section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act, which pro-
hibits consideration of legislation that would cause the level of
total new budget authority for the first fiscal year to be exceed-
ed; and
* Section 314 of the Congressional Budget Act, which pro-
hibits the consideration of legislation that provides budget au-
thority for a fiscal year that exceeds either of the discretionary
statutory spending limits.
Although the resolution waives all points of order against provi-
sions in the joint resolution, the Committee is not aware of any
points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
