I guess I would direct my question to the Chair. The point of order being raised now on my amendment to support veterans health care is that it is contrary to some of the process rules of the House. Could I inquire of the Chair as to whether there were other rules of the House that were waived in bringing this bill to the floor for debate today? The CHAIRMAN. The Chair would advise that House Resolution 342 waived all points of order against consideration of the bill and certain points of order against provisions in the bill.
