                SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides for consideration of H.J. Res. 72, 
making continuing appropriations for the fiscal year 2006, and 
for other purposes, under a closed rule. The rule provides one 
hour of debate in the House equally divided and controlled by 
the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
Appropriations.
    The rule waives all points of order against consideration 
of the joint resolution. The rule provides one motion to 
recommit. Finally, the rule provides that H. Res. 542 is laid 
on the table.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The Committee is not aware of any points of order against 
consideration of the joint resolution. The waiver of all points 
of order against consideration of the joint resolution is 
prophylactic in nature.
