                SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides for consideration of H.R. 1960, the

provides that no further consideration of the bill shall be in 
order except pursuant to a subsequent order of the House.

rule. The resolution provides one hour of debate, with 40 
minutes equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Financial Services and 20 
minutes equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Agriculture. The resolution

considered as read. The resolution waives all points of order 
against provisions in the bill, as amended. The resolution 
provides one motion to recommit with or without instructions.
    Section 3 of the resolution provides that the chair of the

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
H.R. 1960 includes a waiver of clause 3(e)(1) of rule XIII 
(Ramseyer), requiring a committee report accompanying a bill 
amending or repealing statutes to show, by typographical 
device, parts of statute affected and clause 4(a) of rule XIII, 
which prohibits consideration of legislation in the House until 
the third calendar day on which each report of a committee on 
that measure or matter has been available to Members, Delegates 
and the Resident Commissioner. While the Committee on Armed 
Services filed its report on June 7, 2013, the Committee 
requested authority to file a supplemental report, which 
includes a more comprehensive cost estimate from the 
Congressional Budget Office. The revised cost estimate was made 
publicly available on June 11, 2013, and the Committee on Armed 
Services filed its supplemental report on June 11, 2013.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
consideration of H.R. 1256, the Committee is not aware of any 
points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
provisions in H.R. 1256, as amended, the Committee is not aware 
of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
