               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 7:
        ``7. (a) On Wednesday of each week, business shall not be in 
order before completion of the call of the committees (except as 
provided by clause 4 of rule XIV) unless two-thirds of the Members 
voting, a quorum being present, agree to a motion that the House 
dispense with the call. Such a motion shall be privileged. Debate on 
such a motion shall be limited to five minutes in support and five 
minutes in opposition.
        (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) When a committee has occupied the call under this clause on 
one Wednesday, it shall not be in order on a succeeding Wednesday to 
consider unfinished business previously called up by that committee 
until the other committees have been called in their turn unless--
             (1) the previous question has been ordered on such 
unfinished business; or
             (2) the House adopts a motion to dispense with the call 
under paragraph (a).
        (d) If any committee has not been called under this clause 
during a session of a Congress, then at the next session of that 
Congress the call shall resume where it left off at the end of the 
preceding session.
        (e) This rule does not apply during the last two weeks of a 
session of Congress.
        (f) The Speaker may not entertain a motion for a recess on a 
Wednesday except during the last two weeks of a session of Congress.''

        Note.--Call rests with the Committee on Agriculture.
