The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration
House Resolution 266, 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 consideration of H.R. 1947, the
Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013. The
resolution provides one hour of general debate equally divided
and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the
Committee on Agriculture. The resolution waives all points of
order against consideration of the bill. The resolution
provides that after general debate, the Committee of the Whole
shall rise without motion and no further consideration of the
bill may be in order except pursuant to a subsequent order of
the House.
Section 2 of the resolution provides for the consideration
of H.R. 1797, the District of Columbia Pain-Capable Unborn
Child Protection Act, under a closed rule. The resolution
provides one hour of debate equally divided and controlled by
the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on the
Judiciary. The resolution waives all points of order against
consideration of the bill. The resolution provides that an
amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the text
of Rules Committee Print 113-15 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. The resolution provides one motion to
recommit with or without instructions.

EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

The waiver of all points of order against consideration of
H.R. 1947 includes a waiver of section 302(f) of the
Congressional Budget Act of 1974, which prohibits consideration
of legislation providing new budget authority in excess of a
committee's 302(a) allocation for the first fiscal year or the
total of fiscal years.
The waiver of all points of order against consideration of
H.R. 1797 includes a waiver of clause 3(d) of rule XIII, which
requires the inclusion of a committee cost estimate.
Although the resolution waives all points of order against
provisions in H.R. 1797, as amended, the Committee is not aware
of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
