Mr. Cardoza, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the following
R E P O R T
[To accompany H. Res. 719]
The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration
House Resolution 719, by a record vote of 9 to 3, 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. 3056, the
``Tax Collection Responsibility Act of 2007,'' under a closed
rule. The resolution provides for one hour of debate equally
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority
member of the Committee on Ways and Means.
The resolution waives all points of order against
consideration of the bill except those arising under clause 9
or 10 of rule XXI. The resolution provides that the amendment
in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on
Ways and Means, modified by the amendment printed in this
report, shall be considered as adopted and the bill, as
amended, shall be considered as read. The resolution waives all
points of order against the bill, as amended. This waiver does
not affect the point of order available under clause 9 of rule
XXI (regarding earmark disclosure). The resolution provides one
motion to recommit with or without instructions. Finally, the
resolution permits the Chair, during consideration of the bill,
to postpone further consideration of it to a time designated by
the Speaker.
EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS
Although the rule waives all points of order against the
bill and its consideration (except those arising under clause 9
or 10 of rule XXI), the Committee is not aware of any points of
order against the bill or its consideration. The waivers of all
points of order against the bill and its consideration (except
those arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI) are
prophylactic in nature.
