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

                              R E P O R T

                      [To accompany H. Res. 1507]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 1507, 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 provides for consideration of H.R. 7110, the 
``Job Creation and Unemployment Relief Act of 2008'' under a 
closed rule. The resolution provides one hour of general debate 
in the House 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 for clause 10 of rule XXI). 
The resolution waives all points of order against the bill and 
provides that the bill shall be considered as read. The rule 
provides one motion to recommit with or without instructions. 
The rule provides that the Chair may postpone further 
consideration of the bill to a time designated by the Speaker.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the bill (except for clause 10 of rule XXI) includes a waiver 
of clause 9 of rule XXI (requiring a statement on earmarks). 
The waiver is necessary because the bill is being considered on 
the same day it is introduced. Earmark statements have been 
submitted which indicate that there are no earmarks in this 
bill. The waiver of all points of order against the bill is 
prophylactic.
