consideration of legislation within the jurisdiction of the Committee 
on the Budget unless referred to or reported by the Budget Committee.
  When the Committee on Rules filed its report (House Report 117-420) 
to accompany House Resolution 1232, the Committee was unaware that the

included a waiver of the following:
  Clause 10 of rule XXI, which prohibits consideration of a measure 
that has a net effect of increasing the deficit or reducing the surplus 
over the five- or 10-year period.
