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

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 766]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 766, 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 provides for consideration of H. Con. Res. 
376, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 
2007, under a general debate rule. The rule provides four hours 
of general debate, with three hours equally divided and 
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on the Budget, and one hour on the subject of 
economic goals and policies equally divided and controlled by 
Representative Saxton of New Jersey and Representative Maloney 
of New York or their designees. The rule waives all points of 
order against consideration of the concurrent resolution.
    Finally, the rule provides that after general debate the 
Committee of the Whole shall rise without motion and no further 
consideration of the bill shall be in order except by a 
subsequent order of the House.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the concurrent resolution includes a waiver of clause 3 of rule 
XIII because the total of the Budget Committee rollcall vote 
No. 15 was incorrectly reported in H. Rept. 109-402.

     OBLIGATIONS UNDER SEC. 301(C) OF THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET ACT

    The Committee notes that certain features of the concurrent 
resolution originated by the Committee on the Budget might 
constitute `procedure or matter which has the effect of 
changing any rule of the House' within the meaning of section 
301(c) of the Budget Act. The Committee has reviewed those 
features of the concurrent resolution in the course of 
originating this special order of business for its 
consideration by the House. The Committee believes that this 
review adequately meets the needs of the Committee and obviates 
any practical need to refer the concurrent resolution to the 
Committee.
