                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 491]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 491, by a record vote of 7 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. 3630, the 
Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2011, under a 
closed rule. The resolution provides 90 minutes 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. The resolution provides that the amendment printed in 
this report shall be considered as adopted and the bill, as 
amended, shall be considered as read. The resolution waives all 
points of order against provisions in the bill, as amended. 
Finally, the resolution provides one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the bill includes the following:
      Section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974, prohibiting the consideration of a measure which causes 
the applicable allocation of new budget authority under 
subsections 302(a) or (b) to be exceeded;
      Section 311(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974, prohibiting the consideration of a measure which would 
cause the total level of new budget authority or outlays in the 
most recent budget resolution to be exceeded, or would cause 
revenues to be less; and
      Clause 10 of rule XXI, prohibiting the 
consideration of a measure if the provisions of such measure 
have the net effect of increasing mandatory spending for the 
period of either the first five-year or ten-year period.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
provisions in the bill, as amended, the Committee is not aware 
of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
