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

                              R E P O R T

                      [To accompany H. Res. 1092]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 1092, by a record vote of 7 to 4, 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. 8015, the 
Delivering for America Act, under a closed rule. The resolution 
provides two hours of debate equally divided and controlled by 
the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
Oversight and Reform. The resolution waives all points of order 
against consideration of the bill. The resolution provides that 
an amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the 
text of Rules Committee Print 116-61, modified by the amendment 
printed in this Report, shall be considered as adopted and the 
bill, as amended, shall be considered as read. The resolution 
waives all points of order against provisions in the bill, as 
amended. The resolution provides one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
H.R. 8015 includes waivers of the following:
           Section 103(i) of H. Res. 6, which prohibits 
        consideration of an unreported bill pursuant to a rule.
           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 Committee on the Budget.
    Although the rule waives all points of order against 
provisions in H.R. 8015, as amended, the Committee is not aware 
of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
