 December 13, 2005.--Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be 
                                printed

                                _______
                                

   Mrs. Capito, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 596]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 596, by a nonrecord vote, report 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 
further conference report to accompany H.R. 3010, the 
Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, 
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 is necessary because the 
conference report was filed with the House on the legislative 
day of Tuesday, December 13, 2005 and it may be considered by 
the House as early as the legislative day of Wednesday, 
December 14, 2005, which would violate clause 8 of rule XXII 
(requiring a three-day layover of conference reports and the 
accompanying joint explanatory statement).
    The waiver of all points of order also includes a waiver of 
clause 9 of rule XXII, which prohibits a conference report from 
including matter not committed to the conference committee by 
either House or a modification of specific matter committed to 
the conference committee if that modification is beyond the 
scope of the matter committed to the conference committee.
