All points of order against provisions in the bill for failure to comply with clause 2 of rule XXI are waived. Until the adoption of a conference report on the budget resolution, the allocations of spending authority printed in Tables 11 and 12 of the Budget Committee report accompanying the House-passed budget resolution shall be considered to be the allocations under section 302(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. The Chair is authorized to accord priority in recognition to Members who have pre-printed their amendments in the Congressional Record.
