                       [To accompany H. Res. 857]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 857, 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 
conference report to accompany H.R. 4939, the Emergency 
Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on 
Terror, and Hurricane Recovery, 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. 109-494) was 
not filed until the legislative day of Thursday, June 8, 2006, 
and the conference report may be considered by the House as 
early as the legislative day of Monday, June 12, 2006.
