                                        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

                                        special-order speeches beyond
                                        midnight.

                                        The Chair will first recognize
                                        Members for 5-minute special-order
                                        speeches, alternating initially and

                                        regardless of the date the order was
                                        granted by the House. The Chair will
                                        then recognize Members for longer

                                        for a longer special-order speech.

                                        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

                                        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,

                                        recognition by the Speaker is

                                        ultimate power of recognition under
                                        clause 2 of rule XVII should
