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

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 818]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 818, by a record vote of 9 to 3, 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.R. 4156, the 
Orderly and Responsible Iraq Redeployment Appropriations Act, 
2008, under a closed rule. The resolution provides for two 
hours of debate equally divided and controlled by the chairman 
and ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations.
    The resolution waives all points of order against 
consideration of the bill except those arising under clause 9 
or 10 of rule XXI. The resolution provides that the bill shall 
be considered as read. The resolution waives all points of 
order against provisions of the bill. This waiver does not 
affect the point of order available under clause 9 of rule XXI 
(regarding earmark disclosure). The resolution provides one 
motion to recommit the bill. Finally, the resolution permits 
the Chair, during consideration of the bill, to postpone 
further consideration of it to a time designated by the 
Speaker.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    Although the rule waives all points of order against 
consideration of the bill (except for those arising under 
clause 9 or clause 10 of rule XXI) and against the provisions 
of the bill, the Committee is not aware of any points of order 
against the bill or its consideration. The waivers are 
prophylactic in nature.
