[To accompany H. Res. 491]

The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration
House Resolution 491, by a record vote of 7 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. 3630, the
Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2011, under a
closed rule. The resolution provides 90 minutes of debate
equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking
minority member of the Committee on Ways and Means. The
resolution waives all points of order against consideration of
the bill. The resolution provides that 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 provisions in the bill, as amended.
Finally, the resolution provides one motion to recommit with or
without instructions.

EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

The waiver of all points of order against consideration of
the bill includes the following:
Section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act of
1974, prohibiting the consideration of a measure which causes
the applicable allocation of new budget authority under
subsections 302(a) or (b) to be exceeded;
Section 311(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of
1974, prohibiting the consideration of a measure which would
cause the total level of new budget authority or outlays in the
most recent budget resolution to be exceeded, or would cause
revenues to be less; and
Clause 10 of rule XXI, prohibiting the
consideration of a measure if the provisions of such measure
have the net effect of increasing mandatory spending for the
period of either the first five-year or ten-year period.
Although the resolution waives all points of order against
provisions in the bill, as amended, the Committee is not aware
of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
