               THE MORNING HOUR FOR THE CALL OF COMMITTEES



        Rule XIV, clause 4:

        ``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



        Rule XV, clause 6:

        ``6. (a) On Wednesday of each week, business shall not be in 

order before completion of the call of those committees (except as 

provided by clause 4 of rule XIV) whose chair, or other member 

authorized by the committee, has announced to the House a request for 

such call on the preceding legislative day.

        (b) A bill or resolution on either the House or the Union 

Calendar, except bills or resolutions that are privileged under the 

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 

Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union without motion, 

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) This clause does not apply during the last two weeks of a 

session of Congress.

        (d) Precedents, rulings, or procedures in effect before the One 

Hundred Eleventh Congress regarding the priority of business and the 

availability of other business on Wednesday shall be applied only to the 

extent consistent with this clause.''

        Note.--Call rests with the Committee on Agriculture.
