the House with the recommendation that the resolution be 
adopted.

                SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides for consideration of H. Con. Res. 
248, directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the 
War Powers Resolution, to remove the United States Armed Forces 
from Afghanistan, under a closed rule. The resolution provides 
three hours of debate in the House with 90 minutes to be 
controlled by Rep. Kucinich or his designee and 90 minutes 
equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
    The resolution waives all points of order against 
consideration of the concurrent resolution. The resolution also 
provides that the concurrent resolution shall be considered as 
read.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    Although the rule waives all points of order against 
consideration of the concurrent resolution, the committee is 
not aware of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic.
