                               RESOLUTION


 
         Relating to a question of the privileges of the House.

Whereas the privilege of admission to the Hall of the House or rooms leading 
        thereto is subject to the requirements of proper decorum;
Whereas concern has arisen that the privilege of admission to the Hall of the 
        House or rooms leading thereto has become the subject of abuse;
Whereas Representative Menendez of New Jersey has given notice pursuant to 
        clause 2 of rule IX of his intention to offer a question of the 
        privileges of the House addressing that concern; and
Whereas these circumstances warrant an immediate affirmation by the House of its 
        unequivocal commitment to the principle that every person who exercises 
        the privilege of admission to the Hall of the House or rooms leading 
        thereto assumes a concomitant responsibilty to comport himself in a 
        manner that properly dignifies the proceedings of the House: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Sergeant-at-Arms is instructed to remove former 
Representative Robert Dornan from the Hall of the House and rooms 
leading thereto and to prevent him from returning to the Hall of the 
House and rooms leading thereto until the election contest concerning 
the forty-sixth district of California is resolved.
