    Section 2 of the resolution provides a general debate rule

equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
H.R. 5053 includes a waiver of the following:
           Section 303 of the Congressional Budget Act, 
        prohibiting consideration of legislation, providing a 
        change in revenues for a fiscal year until the budget 
        resolution for that year has been agreed to; and
           Section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act 
        of 1974, prohibiting 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. 5053, 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. 5293 includes a waiver of section 306 of the Congressional 
Budget Act, which prohibits consideration of legislation within 
the jurisdiction of the Committee on the Budget unless referred 
to or reported by the Budget Committee.
