THE MORNING HOUR FOR THE CALL OF COMMITTEES
Rule XIV, clause 4:
``4. After the unfinished business has been disposed of, the
Speaker shall call each standing committee in regular order and then
select committees. Each committee when named may call up for
consideration a bill or resolution reported by it on a previous day and
on the House Calendar. If the Speaker does not complete the call of the
committees before the House passes to other business, the next call
shall resume at the point it left off, giving preference to the last
bill or resolution under consideration. A committee that has occupied
the call for two days may not call up another bill or resolution until
the other committees have been called in their turn.''
Note.--Call rests with the Committee on Agriculture.
CALENDAR WEDNESDAY BUSINESS
Rule XV, clause 6:
``6. (a) On Wednesday of each week, business shall not be in
order before completion of the call of those committees (except as
provided by clause 4 of rule XIV) whose chair, or other member
authorized by the committee, has announced to the House a request for
such call on the preceding legislative day.
(b) A bill or resolution on either the House or the Union
Calendar, except bills or resolutions that are privileged under the
Rules of the House, may be called under this clause. A bill or
resolution called up from the Union Calendar shall be considered in the
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union without motion,
subject to clause 3 of rule XVI. General debate on a measure considered
under this clause shall be confined to the measure and may not exceed
two hours equally divided between a proponent and an opponent.
(c) This clause does not apply during the last two weeks of a
session of Congress.
(d) Precedents, rulings, or procedures in effect before the One
Hundred Eleventh Congress regarding the priority of business and the
availability of other business on Wednesday shall be applied only to the
extent consistent with this clause.''
Note.--Call rests with the Committee on Agriculture.
