PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 2829, OFFICE OF NATIONAL DRUG
CONTROL POLICY REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2005
_______
March 8, 2006.--Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be
printed
_______
Mr. Sessions, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the following
R E P O R T
[To accompany H. Res. 713]
The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration
House Resolution 713, by a nonrecord vote, report the same to
the House with the recommendation that the resolution be
adopted.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION
The resolution provides for the consideration of H.R. 2829,
the Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act
of 2005, under a structured rule. The rule provides one hour of
general debate equally divided and controlled by the chairman
and ranking minority member of the Committee on Government
Reform. The rule waives all points of order against
consideration of the bill.
The rule provides that the amendment in the nature of a
substitute recommended by the Committee on the Judiciary now
printed in the bill shall be considered as an original bill for
the purpose of amendment and shall be considered as read. The
rule waives all points of order against the committee amendment
in the nature of a substitute.
The rule makes in order only those amendments printed in
this report. The rule provides that the amendments made in
order may be offered only in the order printed in this report,
may be offered only by a Member designated in this report,
shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for the time
specified in this report equally divided and controlled by the
proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment,
and shall not be subject to a demand for division of the
question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. The
rule waives all points of order against the amendments printed
in this report.
Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit with or
without instructions.
EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS
The waiver of all points of order against consideration of
the bill is necessary because the reports of both the Committee
on Government Reform and the Committee on the Judiciary fail to
meet the requirements of clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII, requiring
a statement of general performance goals and objectives. The
waiver of all points of order against the committee amendment
in the nature of a substitute is necessary because the
committee amendment contains provisions in violation of clause
4 of rule XXI, prohibiting appropriations on legislative bills.
The manager's amendment offered by Mr. Souder of Indiana, if
adopted, would remedy the violations of clause 4 of rule XXI.
COMMITTEE VOTES

each record vote on an amendment or motion to report, together
with the names of those voting for and against, are printed
