“The Rules Committee report (H. Rept. 115- 711) to accompany House Resolution 918 should have included in its waiver of all points of order against amendments to H.R. 8 a disclosure of following violation: Clause 9 of rule XXI, which requires a list of all earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits contained in an amendment to a bill or joint resolution to be offered at the outset of its consideration for amendment by a member of a committee of initial referral as designated in a report of the Committee on Rules to accompany a resolution, or a certification that the amendment does not contain any of those items. While a statement has not yet been printed in the Congressional Record for amendment No. 1 offered by Rep. Shuster, it is important to note that Rep. Shuster filed the required earmark statement on June 6, 2018, prior to floor consideration of the bill and amendment. The material previously referred to by Mr. McGovern is as follows: An Amendment to H. Res. 918 Offered by Mr. McGovern At the end of the resolution, add the following new sections: Sec. 6. Immediately upon adoption of this resolution the Speaker shall, pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule XVIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of the concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 63) supporting efforts to enact a bold jobs and infrastructure package that benefits all Americans, not just billionaires.…”
