                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 107]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 107, by a record vote of 7 to 4, 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. 890, the 
Preserving Work Requirements for Welfare Programs Act of 2013, 
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. The resolution provides that an amendment in the 
nature of a substitute consisting of the text of Rules 
Committee Print 113-3 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. The resolution provides one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
consideration of the bill, the Committee is not aware of any 
points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
    The waiver of all points of order against provisions in the 
bill, as amended, includes a waiver of clause 4 of rule XXI, 
which prohibits consideration of an amendment proposing an 
appropriation to a bill or joint resolution reported by a 
committee not having jurisdiction to report appropriations.
