              Mr. Newhouse, from the Committee on Rules, 
                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 288]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 288, by a record vote of 8 to 2, 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. 2289, the 
Commodity End-User Relief Act, under a structured rule. The 
resolution provides one hour of general debate equally divided 
and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on Agriculture. The resolution waives all points of 
order against consideration of the bill. The resolution makes 
in order as original text for purpose of amendment an amendment 
in the nature of a substitute consisting of the text of Rules 
Committee Print 114-18 and provides that it shall be considered 
as read. The resolution waives all points of order against that 
amendment in the nature of a substitute. The resolution makes 
in order only those further amendments printed in this report. 
Each such amendment 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, shall be debatable for the 
time specified in this report equally divided and controlled by 
the proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to 
amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for division of 
the question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. The 
resolution waives all points of order against the amendments 
printed in this report. The resolution provides one motion to 
recommit with or without instructions.
    Section 2 of the resolution provides that the Committee on 
Appropriations may, at any time before 5 p.m. on Friday, June 
5, 2015, file privileged reports to accompany measures making 
appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the bill includes a waiver of clause 3(e)(1) of rule XIII 
(``Ramseyer''), requiring a committee report accompanying a 
bill amending or repealing statutes to show, by typographical 
device, parts of statute affected.
    The waiver is provided because the submission provided by 
the committee was insufficient to meet the standards 
established by the rule in its current form. The Committee on 
Rules continues to work with the House Office of Legislative 
Counsel and committees to determine the steps necessary to 
comply with the updated rule.
    The waiver of all points of order against the amendment in 
the nature of a substitute made in order as original text 
includes a waiver of clause 7 of rule XVI, which requires that 
no motion or proposition on a subject different from that under 
consideration shall be admitted under color of amendment. 
Provisions contained in Rules Committee Print 114-18 fall 
outside of the jurisdiction of the Committee on Agriculture.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
the amendments printed in this report, the Committee is not 
aware of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in 
nature.
