Res. 794] The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration House Resolution 794, by a record vote of 8 to 3, report the same to the House with the recommendation that the resolution be adopted. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION The resolution waives all points of order against the conference report on H.R. 3043, the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2008 and against its consideration. The rule provides that the conference report shall be considered as read. The resolution also provides that any motion to proceed to consideration of H.R. 3688 pursuant to section 151 of the Trade Act of 1974 shall be in order only if offered by the Majority Leader or his designee. The resolution provides that, upon receipt of a message from the Senate transmitting H.R. 3043, with a Senate amendment thereto, it shall be in order to take the same from the Speaker's table and to consider in the House a motion offered by the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations that the House concur in such amendment. The Senate amendment and the motion shall be considered as read and shall be debatable for one hour. The previous question shall be considered as ordered on the motion to its adoption without intervening motion. EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS The waiver of all points of order against the conference report and against its consideration includes a waiver of clauses 8 and 9 of rule XXII (requiring a three-day layover of conference reports and the accompanying joint explanatory statement and precluding conferees from including matter outside the scope of conference). Although the rule waives all points of order against the conference report and against its consideration, the conference report does not violate either House Resolution 491, or clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI (requiring earmarks to be disclosed in the conference report and requiring conference reports to be in compliance with the paygo rule).
