competitiveness of the United States. The resolution waives all 
points of order against the conference report and its

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against the conference 
report and against its consideration includes a waiver of 
clause 8 of rule XXII (requiring a three-day layover of 
conference reports and the accompanying joint explanatory 
statement) but does not include a waiver of clause 10 of rule 
XXI as the conference report does not violate the PAYGO rule.
