                            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.''
