                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 852]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 852, 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 S.J. Res. 33, 
a joint resolution relating to increasing the debt limit, under 
a closed rule. The resolution provides one hour of general 
debate equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Ways and Means or their 
designees. The resolution waives all points of order against 
consideration of the joint resolution. The resolution provides 
that the joint resolution shall be considered as read. The 
resolution waives all points of order against provisions in the 
joint resolution. The resolution provides one motion to commit.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the joint resolution includes a waiver of clause 11 of rule 
XXI, which prohibits consideration of a 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 joint resolution, the Committee is not aware 
of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
