                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 370]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 370, by a record vote of 9 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 closed rules for H.J. Res. 70, H.J. 
Res. 71, H.J. Res. 72, H.J. Res. 73, and H.R. 3230. The 
resolution provides 30 minutes of debate on each measure 
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 
each measure and provides that each measure shall be considered 
as read. The resolution waives all points of order against 
provisions in each measure. The resolution provides one motion 
to recommit each measure.
    Section 4 of the resolution provides that it shall be in 
order at any time through the calendar day of October 6, 2013, 
for the Speaker to entertain motions that the House suspend the 
rules and that the Speaker or his designee shall consult with 
the Minority Leader or her designee on the designation of any 
matter for consideration pursuant to this section.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
H.J. Res. 70, H.J. Res. 71, H.J. Res. 72, H.J. Res. 73, and 
H.R. 3230 includes a waiver of clause 11 of rule XXI, 
prohibiting the consideration of a bill or joint resolution 
which has not been reported by a committee until the third 
calendar day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, or legal holidays 
except when the House is in session on such a day) on which 
such measure has been available to Members, Delegates, and the 
Resident Commissioner.
    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
H.J. Res. 73 and H.R. 3230 also includes a waiver of clause 
9(a)(2) of rule XXI, which prohibits consideration of a bill or 
joint resolution not reported by a committee, unless the chair 
of each committee of initial referral has caused a list of 
congressional earmarks, limited tax benefits, and limited 
tariff benefits in the bill or a statement that the proposition 
contains no congressional earmarks, limited tax benefits, or 
limited tariff benefits to be printed in the Congressional 
Record prior to its consideration. However, it is important to 
note that the chair of the Committee on Appropriations 
submitted an earmark statement to the House on October 2, 2013 
for printing in the Congressional Record. The statement affirms 
that the measures do not contain any earmarks, limited tax 
benefits, or limited tariff benefits under the meaning of the 
rule.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
provisions in H.J. Res. 70, H.J. Res. 71, H.J. Res. 72, H.J. 
Res. 73, and H.R. 3230, the Committee is not aware of any 
points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
