                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JAMES P. McGOVERN

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 24, 2020

  Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, when the Committee on Rules filed its 
report (H. Rept. 116-377) to accompany House Resolution 790, the 
Committee was unaware that the waiver of all points of order against 
consideration of H.J. Res. 76 included a waiver of section 311 of the 
Congressional Budget Act, which prohibits consideration of legislation 
that would cause the level of total new budget authority for the first 
fiscal year to be exceeded, or would cause revenues to be less than the 
level of total revenues for the first fiscal year or for the total of 
that first fiscal year and the ensuing fiscal years for which 
allocations are provided.
