                       [To accompany H. Res. 465]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 465, 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 for consideration of H.R. 7, the No 
Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, under a closed rule. The 
resolution provides one hour of debate equally divided among 
and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on the Judiciary, the chair and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on Ways and Means, and the chair and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Energy and 
Commerce. 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 113-33 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.
    Section 2 of the resolution provides for consideration of 
the conference report to accompany H.R. 2642, the Federal 
Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013. The 
resolution waives all points of order against the conference 
report and against its consideration. The resolution provides 
that the conference report shall be considered as read. The 
resolution provides that the previous question shall be 
considered as ordered without intervention of any motion except 
one hour of debate and one motion to recommit if applicable.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
consideration of H.R. 7, 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 
H.R. 7, as amended, includes a waiver of clause 5(a) or rule 
XXI, which prohibits a bill or joint resolution carrying a tax 
or tariff measure from being reported by a committee not having 
jurisdiction to report tax or tariff measures.
    The waiver of all points of order against the conference 
report to accompany H.R. 2642 and its consideration includes a 
waiver of clause 9 of rule XXII, which prohibits the inclusion 
of matter in a conference report not committed to the 
conference by either House.
