    The resolution waives all points of order against the 
conference report to accompany H.R. 2, the Jobs and Growth Tax 
Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, and against its 
consideration. The rule provides that the conference report 
shall be considered as read.
    The rule provides one hour of debate equally divided and 
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on Ways and Means. The rule provides that the 
previous question shall be considered as ordered on the 
conference report to final adoption without intervening motion 
except one motion to recommit.
    Finally, the rule provides that the yeas and nays shall be 
considered as ordered on the question of adoption of the 
conference report and that clause 5(b) of rule XXI (requiring a 
three-fifths vote on any measure containing a federal income 
tax rate increase) shall not apply to the conference report.
