3. PRIVATE CALENDAR
________________________________________________________________________
Rule XIII, clause 1 (a):
``(3) A Private Calendar as provided in clause 5 of rule XV,
to which shall be referred all private bills and private resolutions.''
Rule XV, clause 5:
``5. (a) On the first Tuesday of a month, the Speaker shall direct the
Clerk to call the bills and resolutions on the Private Calendar after
disposal of such business on the Speaker's table as requires reference only.
If two or more Members, Delegates, or the Resident Commissioner object to the
consideration of a bill or resolution so called, it shall be recommitted
to the committee that reported it. No other business shall be in order
before completion of the call of the Private Calendar on this day unless
two-thirds of the Members voting, a quorum being present, agree to a motion
that the House dispense with the call.
``(b)(1) On the third Tuesday of month, after the disposal of such
business on the Speaker's table as requires reference only, the Speaker may
direct the Clerk to call the bills and resolutions on the Private Calendar.
Preference shall be given to omnibus bills containing the texts of bills
or resolutions that have previously been objected to on a call of the
Private Calendar. If two or more Members, Delegates, or the Resident
Commissioner object to the consideration of a bill or resolution so called
(other than on omnibus bill), it shall be recommitted to the committee that
reported it. Two-thirds of the Members voting, a quorum being present, may
adopt a motion that the House dispense with the call on this day.
``(2) Omnibus bills shall be read for amendment by paragraph.
No amendment shall be in order except to strike or to reduce amounts of
money or to provide limitations. An item or matter stricken from an omnibus
bill may not thereafter during the same session of Congress be included in
an omnibus bill. Upon passage such an omnibus bill shall be resolved into the
several bills and resolutions of which it is composed. The several bills and
resolutions, with any amendments adopted by the House, shall be engrossed,
when necessary, and otherwise considered as passed severally by the House
as distinct bills and resolutions.
``(c) The Speaker may not entertain a reservation of the right to
object to the consideration of a bill or resolution under this clause.
A bill or resolution considered under this clause shall be considered in the
House as in the Committee of the Whole. A motion to dispense with the call
of the Private Calendar under this clause shall be privileged. Debate on
such a motion shall be limited to five minutes in support and five minutes
in opposition.''
