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

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 167]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 167, 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 consideration of H.J. Res. 48, 
Additional Continuing Appropriations Amendments, 2011, 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 Appropriations. The resolution waives all 
points of order against consideration of the joint resolution. 
The resolution provides that the joint resolution shall be 
considered as read. The resolution waives all points of order 
against provisions in the joint resolution. Finally, the 
resolution provides one motion to recommit.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the joint resolution includes a waiver of section 302(f) of the 
Congressional Budget Act. Although the joint resolution reduces 
spending by $2 billion per week over the three week life of the 
further continuing appropriations, the Congressional Budget 
Office is required by scorekeeping rules to annualize the score 
comparing it to the House-passed continuing resolution (H.R. 1) 
causing the joint resolution to be scored at a higher level, 
thus the joint resolution is presumed to breach the 
Appropriations Committee's section 302 allocations.
    Although the rule waives all points of order against 
provisions in the joint resolution, the Committee is not aware 
of any points of order against the joint resolution. The waiver 
of all points of order against provisions in the joint 
resolution is prophylactic in nature.
