  Mr. Hastings of Florida, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the 
                               following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 794]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 794, by a record vote of 8 to 3, 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 on H.R. 3043, the Departments of Labor, 
Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 2008 and against its consideration. The 
rule provides that the conference report shall be considered as 
read.
    The resolution also provides that any motion to proceed to 
consideration of H.R. 3688 pursuant to section 151 of the Trade 
Act of 1974 shall be in order only if offered by the Majority 
Leader or his designee.
    The resolution provides that, upon receipt of a message 
from the Senate transmitting H.R. 3043, with a Senate amendment 
thereto, it shall be in order to take the same from the 
Speaker's table and to consider in the House a motion offered 
by the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations that the 
House concur in such amendment. The Senate amendment and the 
motion shall be considered as read and shall be debatable for 
one hour. The previous question shall be considered as ordered 
on the motion to its adoption without intervening motion.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against the conference 
report and against its consideration includes a waiver of 
clauses 8 and 9 of rule XXII (requiring a three-day layover of 
conference reports and the accompanying joint explanatory 
statement and precluding conferees from including matter 
outside the scope of conference). Although the rule waives all 
points of order against the conference report and against its 
consideration, the conference report does not violate either 
House Resolution 491, or clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI (requiring 
earmarks to be disclosed in the conference report and requiring 
conference reports to be in compliance with the paygo rule).
