that the amendments printed in this report may be offered only 
in the order printed in this report, may be offered only by a 
Member designated in this report, shall be considered as read,

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
H.R. 4745 includes a waiver of clause 4(c) of rule XIII, which 
prohibits consideration of a general appropriations bill 
reported by the Committee on Appropriations from being 
considered in the House until the third calendar day on which 
printed hearings of the Committee on Appropriations thereon 
have been available to Members.
    The resolution includes a waiver of points of order against 
provisions in H.R. 4745 for failure to comply with clause 2 of 
rule XXI, which prohibits unauthorized appropriations or 
legislative provisions in an appropriations bill. This waiver 
is necessary because the bill contains unauthorized 
appropriations and legislative provisions.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
consideration of H.R. 4681, the Committee is not aware of any 
points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
    The waiver of all points of order against the amendment in 
the nature of a substitute to H.R. 4681 made in order as 
original text includes a waiver of Clause 7 of rule XVI, 
requiring that no motion or proposition on a subject different 
from that under consideration shall be admitted under color of 
amendment, because provisions contained in Rules Committee 
Print 113-45 are not germane to the bill as introduced.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
the amendments printed in this report or against amendments en 
bloc as described in the resolution, the Committee is not aware 
of any points of order. The waiver of all points of order is 
prophylactic in nature.
    It is important to note that the estimate provided by the 
Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to the Permanent Select 
Committee on Intelligence and the Committee on the Budget is 
incomplete due to the fact that CBO is only permitted to score 
the unclassified portions of the bill. Because the estimate is 
incomplete, the Chair of the Committee on the Budget is unable 
to accurately advise the Chair on budget related points of 
order.
