                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
H.R. 903 includes a waiver of clause 3(d)(1) of rule XIII, 
which requires the inclusion of committee cost estimate in a 
committee report. A CBO cost estimate on H.R. 903 was not 
available at the time the Committee on Homeland Security filed 
its report.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
provisions in H.R. 903, 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 to H.R. 903 printed in part B of this report and 
amendments en bloc described in section 3 of the resolution, 
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 
consideration of H.R. 2499, 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 
provisions in H.R. 2499, 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 to H.R. 2499 printed in part D of this report 
and amendments en bloc described in section 7 of the 
resolution, 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. 5129 includes a waiver of clause 3(d)(1) of rule XIII, 
which requires the inclusion of committee cost estimate in a 
committee report. A CBO cost estimate on H.R. 5129 was not 
available at the time the Committee on Education and Labor 
filed its report.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
provisions in H.R. 5129, 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 to H.R. 5129 printed in part F of this report 
and amendments en bloc described in section 11 of the 
resolution, 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. 7691 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.
    --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.
    --Clause 12 of rule XXI, which prohibits consideration of a 
bill pursuant to a special order of business reported by the 
Committee on Rules that has not been reported by a committee. 
This waiver is technical in nature. Clause 12 of rule XXI has 
an exception for bills that contain an emergency designation 
under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act. 
These designations were effectively overridden by the new 
emergency authority in S. Con. Res. 14, which H.R. 7691 invokes 
in its emergency spending designation.
    Although the resolution waives all points of order against 
provisions in H.R. 7691, as amended, the Committee is not aware 
of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
