                       [To accompany H. Res. 539]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 539, 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. 2419, Energy and Water 
Development Appropriations Act, 2006, and against its 
consideration. The rule further provides that the conference 
report shall be considered as read.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the conference report includes a waiver of clause 8 of rule 
XXII (requiring a three-day layover of conference reports and 
the accompanying joint explanatory statement), which is 
necessary because the conference report (H. Rept. 109-275) was 
not filed until Monday, November 7, 2005, and the conference 
report may be considered by the House as early as Wednesday, 
November 9, 2005.
