                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
H.R. 4901 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 on Oversight 
and Government Reform 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.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
provisions in H.R. 4901, the Committee is not aware of any 
points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
consideration of H.J. Res. 88, 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.J. Res. 88 includes a waiver of clause 5(a) of 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.
