                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
H.R. 622 includes a waiver of the following:
           Section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act, 
        prohibiting consideration of a bill dealing with any 
        matter within the jurisdiction of the Committee on the 
        Budget unless it is a bill or resolution which has been 
        reported by the Committee on the Budget.
           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.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
provisions in H.R. 622, 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. 1105 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.
           Section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act, 
        prohibiting consideration of a bill dealing with any 
        matter within the jurisdiction of the Committee on the 
        Budget unless it is a bill or resolution which has been 
        reported by the Committee on the Budget.
           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.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
provisions in H.R. 1105, 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. 1195 includes a waiver of the following:
           Section 303 of the Congressional Budget Act, 
        prohibiting consideration of legislation, providing new 
        budget authority, or change in revenues, for a fiscal 
        year until the budget resolution for that year has been 
        agreed to.
           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 of clause 3(e)(1) of rule XIII 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.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
provisions of H.R. 1195, as amended, 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 
the amendments printed in part D of this report, the Committee 
is not aware of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic 
in nature.
