    CALL VOTE--         until a time to be announced, the roll call vote on
    H.RES. 175          the motion to suspend the rules and agree to H.Res.
                        175, as amended, which was ordered on Wednesday,
                        October 21, 2009. (Agreed to Oct. 21, 2009.)
    SPECIAL ORDER   The Speaker's policy with regard to special-order
    SPEECHES            speeches announced on February 11, 1994, as
                        clarified and reiterated by subsequent Speakers,
                        will continue to apply in the 111th Congress, with
                        the following modifications.
                    The Chair may recognize Members for special-order
                        speeches for up to 4 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, the Chair
                        will not 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 Members for longer special-order
                        speeches. A Member recognized for a 5-minute
                        special-order speech may not be recognized for a
                        longer special-order speech. 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 for periods longer than 5 minutes also
                        will alternate initially and subsequently between
                        the parties each day.

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

                    Pursuant to clause 2(a) of rule V, the television
                        cameras will not pan the Chamber, but a ``crawl''
                        indicating the conduct of morning-hour debate or
                        that the House has completed its legislative
                        business and is proceeding with special-order
                        speeches will appear on the screen. The Chair may
                        announce other adaptations during this period.

                    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
                        XVII should circumstances warrant.
