THE MORNING HOUR FOR THE CALL OF COMMITTEES

``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

``6. (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

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

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 clause does not apply during the last two weeks of a
