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

                              R E P O R T

                      [To accompany H. Res. 1568]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 1568, by a record vote of 6 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 consideration of H.R. 5893, the 
``Investing in American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act of 
2010,'' 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 Ways and Means.
    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). The resolution provides one motion to 
recommit with or without instructions.
    Finally, the resolution waives clause 6(a) of rule XIII 
(requiring a two-thirds vote to consider a rule on the same day 
it is reported from the Rules Committee) against any resolution 
reported from the Rules Committee through the calendar day of 
Sunday, August 1, 2010.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
consideration of the bill (except those arising under clause 9 
or 10 of rule XXI), the Committee is not aware of any points of 
order. The waiver is prophylactic. Although the rule waives all 
points of order against the bill, the Committee is not aware of 
any points of order against the bill. The waiver of all points 
of order against the bill is prophylactic in nature.
