                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
H.R. 4800 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. 4800 for failure to comply with clause 2 of 
rule XXI, which prohibits unauthorized appropriations or 
legislative provisions in an appropriations bill. The waiver is 
necessary because the bill contains unauthorized appropriations 
and legislative provisions included in the bill.
    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
H.R. 4457 includes a waiver of the following:
           section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act 
        of 1974, which prohibits consideration of legislation 
        within the jurisdiction of the Committee on the Budget 
        unless referred to or reported by the Budget Committee; 
        and
           section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act 
        of 1974, which prohibits consideration of legislation 
        that would cause revenues to be less than the level of 
        total revenues for the first fiscal year or for the 
        total of that first fiscal year and the ensuing fiscal 
        years for which allocations are provided.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
provisions in H.R. 4457, as amended, the Committee is not aware 
of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
H.R. 4453 includes a waiver of the following:
           section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act 
        of 1974, which prohibits consideration of legislation 
        within the jurisdiction of the Committee on the Budget 
        unless referred to or reported by the Budget Committee; 
        and
           section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act 
        of 1974, which prohibits consideration of legislation 
        that would cause revenues to be less than the level of 
        total revenues for the first fiscal year or for the 
        total of that first fiscal year and the ensuing fiscal 
        years for which allocations are provided.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
provisions in H.R. 4453, as amended, the Committee is not aware 
of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.

   (a) Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Scorecards.--The budgetary

Act shall not be entered on any PAYGO scorecard maintained for
