        Mrs. Torres of California, from the Committee on Rules, 
                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 829]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 829, by a record vote of 9 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. 6119, the 
Further Extending Government Funding Act, under a closed rule. 
The resolution provides one hour of debate equally divided and 
controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on Appropriations. The resolution waives all points 
of order against consideration of the bill. The resolution 
provides that the bill shall be considered as read. The 
resolution waives all points of order against provisions in the 
bill. The resolution provides one motion to recommit. The 
resolution provides that proceedings may be postponed through 
December 10, 2021, on measures that were the object of motions 
to suspend the rules on the legislative days of November 30 or 
December 1, 2021, and on which the yeas and nays were ordered. 
Section 3 of the resolution provides that House Resolution 188, 
agreed to March 8, 2021 (as most recently amended by House 
Resolution 774, agreed to November 5, 2021), is amended by 
striking ``December 3, 2021'' each place it appears and 
inserting (in each instance) ``January 21, 2022''. Section 4 of 
the resolution provides that, notwithstanding section 3, on any 
legislative day of the second session of the One Hundred 
Seventeenth Congress before January 10, 2022: (a) the Speaker 
may dispense with organizational and legislative business; and 
(b) the Journal of the proceedings of the previous day shall be 
considered as approved if applicable.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the bill includes waivers of the following:
    --Clause 9 of rule XXI, which requires a list of all 
earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits 
contained in the measure, or a certification that the measure 
does not contain any of those items. Such a certification was 
submitted for printing in the Congressional Record on December 
2, 2021.
    --Clause 11 of rule XXI, which prohibits consideration of a 
bill or joint resolution which has not been reported by a 
committee until such measure has been available to Members, 
Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner for 72 hours.
    Although the rule waives all points of order against 
provisions in the bill, the Committee is not aware of any 
points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
