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

                              R E P O R T

                      [To accompany H. Res. 1549]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 1549, 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. 1264, the 
``Multiple Peril Insurance Act of 2009,'' under a closed rule. 
The resolution provides one hour of debate equally divided and 
controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on Financial Services.
    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 the bill. 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 with or without instructions.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

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