 September 25, 2006.--Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be

   Mr. Cole of Oklahoma, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the 
                               following

                              R E P O R T

                      [To accompany H. Res. 1037]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 1037, 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. 5631, the Department of 
Defense Appropriations Act, 2007, and against its 
consideration. Finally, the rule 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 Monday, September 
25, 2006 and it may be considered by the House as early as 
Tuesday, September 26, 2006, which would violate clause 8 of 
rule XXII (requiring a three-day layover of conference reports 
and the accompanying joint explanatory statement).
