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

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 901]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 901, by a nonrecord vote, report the same to 
the House with the recommendation that the resolution be 
adopted.

                SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides for the consideration of the Senate 
amendment to H.R. 5325, the Legislative Branch Appropriations 
Act, 2017. The resolution makes in order a motion offered by 
the chair of the Committee on Appropriations or his designee 
that the House concur in the Senate amendment to H.R. 5325. The 
resolution waives all points of order against consideration of 
the motion. The resolution provides that the Senate amendment 
and the motion shall be considered as read. The resolution 
provides one hour of debate on the motion equally divided and 
controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on Appropriations.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the motion includes a waiver of the following:
     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.
     Section 3304 of S. Con. Res. 11, which prohibits 
consideration of a continuing appropriation that provides for 
advance appropriations;
     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;
     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; and
     Section 314 of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974, which prohibits the consideration of legislation that 
provides budget authority for a fiscal year that exceeds either 
of the discretionary statutory spending limits. While the 
waiver of section 314 is necessary, it is important to note the 
bill does not exceed the aggregate total of spending authority. 
This is consistent with prior continuing resolutions.
