                                 SPECIAL ORDERS

    SPECIAL ORDER   The format for recognition for morning-hour debate and

    SPEECHES            restricted special order speeches, which began on
                        February 23, 1994, will continue during the 106th
                        Congress as outlined below:
                                        On Tuesdays, following legislative
                                        business, the Chair may recognize
                                        Members for special order speeches
                                        up to midnight, and such speeches
                                        may not extend beyond midnight. On
                                        all other days of the week, the
                                        Chair may recognize Members for
                                        special order speeches up to four
                                        hours after the conclusion of 5-
                                        minute special order speeches. Such
                                        speeches may not extend beyond the
                                        4-hour limit without the permission
                                        of the Chair, which may be granted
                                        only with advance consultation
                                        between the leaderships and
                                        notification to the House. However,
                                        at no time shall the Chair recognize
                                        for any special order speeches
                                        beyond midnight.

                                        The Chair will first recognize
                                        Members for 5-minute special order
                                        speeches, alternating initially and
                                        subsequently between the parties,
                                        regardless of the date the order was
                                        granted by the House. The Chair will
                                        then recognize longer special order
                                        speeches. The 4-hour limitation will
                                        be divided between the majority and
                                        minority parties. Each party is
                                        entitled to reserve its first hour
                                        for respective leaderships or their
                                        designees. Recognition will
                                        alternate initially and subsequently
                                        between the parties, regardless of
                                        the date the order was granted by
                                        the House.

                                        The allocation of time within each
                                        party's 2-hour period (or shorter
                                        period if prorated to end by
                                        midnight) is to be determined by a
                                        list submitted to the Chair by the
                                        respective leaderships. Members may
                                        not sign up for any special order
                                        speeches earlier than 1 week prior
                                        to the special order, and additional
                                        guidelines may be established for
                                        such sign-ups by the respective
                                        leaderships.

                                        The continuation of this format for
                                        recognition by the Speaker is
                                        without prejudice to the Speaker's
                                        ultimate power of recognition under
                                        (clause 2 of rule XIV) clause 2 of
                                        rule XVII should circumstances so
                                        warrant. (Agreed to Jan. 6, 1999.)
