   Mr. Gingrey, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 538]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 538, by a nonrecord vote, reports the same to 
the House with the recommendation that the resolution be 
adopted.

                SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

    The resolution waives all points of order against the 
conference report to accompany H.R. 2862, the Science, State, 
Justice, Commerce, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 
2006, and against its consideration. The resolution also 
provides that the conference report shall be considered as 
read.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration is 
necessary because the conference report (H. Rept. 109-272) was 
filed with the House on Monday, November 7, 2005, and it may be 
considered by the House as early as Wednesday, November 9, 
2005, which would violate clause 8 of rule XXII (requiring a 
three-day layover of conference reports and the accompanying 
joint explanatory statement).
