Mr. Woodall, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the following
R E P O R T
[To accompany H. Res. 803]
The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration
House Resolution 803, by a record vote of 8 to 1, 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. 4361, the
Federal Information Systems Safeguards Act of 2016, under a
structured rule. The resolution provides one hour of general
debate equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking
minority member of the Committee on Oversight and Government
Reform. The resolution waives all points of order against
consideration of the bill. The resolution makes in order as
original text for purpose of amendment an amendment in the
nature of a substitute consisting of the text of Rules
Committee Print 114-59 and provides that it shall be considered
as read. The resolution waives all points of order against that
amendment in the nature of a substitute. The resolution makes
in order only those further amendments printed in this report.
Each such amendment 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
resolution waives all points of order against the amendments
printed in this report. The resolution provides one motion to
recommit with or without instructions.
Section 2 of the resolution provides that it shall be in
order at any time on the legislative day of July 7, 2016, or
July 8, 2016, for the Speaker to entertain motions that the
House suspend the rules relating to a measure addressing the
Federal Aviation Administration.
EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS
The waiver of all points of order against consideration of
the bill includes a waiver of clause 3(e)(1) of rule XIII
(``Ramseyer''), requiring a committee report accompanying a
bill amending or repealing statutes to show, by typographical
device, parts of statute affected. The waiver is provided
because the submission provided by the Committee on Oversight
and Government Reform was insufficient to meet the standards
established by the rule in its current form. The Committee on
Rules continues to work with the House Office of Legislative
Counsel and committees to determine the steps necessary to
comply with the updated rule.
The waiver of all points of order against the amendment in
the nature of a substitute made in order as original text
includes a waiver of clause 7 of rule XVI, which requires that
no motion or proposition on a subject different from that under
consideration shall be admitted under color of amendment.
Although the resolution waives all points of order against
the amendments printed in this report, the Committee is not
aware of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in
nature.
