                              R E P O R T

                      [To accompany H. Res. 1065]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 1065, 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 provides for the consideration of the Senate 
amendment to H.J. Res. 45, increasing the statutory limit on 
the public debt and the ``Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 
2010.'' The resolution makes in order a motion offered by the 
Majority Leader or his designee that the House concur in the 
Senate amendment to H.J. Res. 45. The resolution waives all 
points of order against consideration of the motion except 
those arising under clause 10 of rule XXI. The resolution 
provides that the Senate amendment shall be considered as read. 
The resolution provides one hour of debate on the motion 
equally divided and controlled by the Majority Leader and 
Minority Leader or their designees. The resolution provides 
that the question on adoption of the motion shall be divided 
between concurring in the matter preceding title I of the 
Senate amendment and concurring in the matter comprising titles 
I and II of the Senate amendment. The first portion of the 
divided question shall be considered as adopted. If the second 
portion of the divided question fails of adoption, then the 
House shall be considered to have made no disposition of the 
Senate amendment.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    Although the resolution waives of all points of order 
against consideration of the motion (except those arising under 
clause 10 of rule XXI), the Committee is not aware of any 
points of order. The waiver is prophylactic.
