  Ms. Slaughter, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 168]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 168, by a record vote of 9 to 4, 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 the conference 
report to accompany H.R. 1, the ``American Recovery and 
Reinvestment Act of 2009.'' The resolution provides 90 minutes 
of debate on the conference report.
    The resolution waives all points of order against 
consideration of the conference report except those arising 
under clause 9 of rule XXI and provides that the conference 
report shall be considered as read. The resolution waives all 
points of order against the conference report. This waiver does 
not affect the point of order available under clause 9 of rule 
XXI (regarding earmark disclosure). Finally, the resolution 
provides one motion to recommit, if applicable.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the conference report (except those arising under clause 9 of 
rule XXI) includes a waiver of clause 8 of rule XXII (requiring 
a three-day layover of conference reports and accompanying 
joint explanatory statements). Although the rule waives all 
points of order against the conference report, the Committee is 
not aware of any waivers against the conference report. The 
waiver of all points of order against the conference report is 
prophylactic.
