                             (See Next Page)

                             SPECIAL ORDERS

POSTPONED ROLL  Pursuant to clause 8, rule XX, the Speaker postponed

                    ordered on Tuesday, June 23, 2015. (Agreed to June 
                    23, 2015.)
HOUR OF         On motion of Mr. Perry, by unanimous consent, Ordered, 
MEETING             That when the House adjourns Wednesday, June 24, 
                    2015, it adjourn to meet at 9 a.m. on Thursday, June 
                    25, 2015. (Agreed to June 24, 2015.)
POSTPONED ROLL  Pursuant to the provisions of H. Res. 315, the Speaker 
CALL VOTE           postponed until anytime up to July 30, 2015, the 
                    roll call vote on the motion to reconsider 
                    concurring in that portion of the Senate amendment 
                    to H.R. 1314 comprising title II (except for section 
                    212). (Agreed to June 16, 2015.)
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 114th Congress, with 
                    the following modifications.
                The Chair may recognize Members for special-order 
                    speeches for up to 4 hours. 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 10 o'clock in the evening.

                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. The second hour 
                    reserved to each party will be divided into two 30-
                    minute periods. Recognition for one-hour periods and 
                    for 30-minute periods will alternate initially and 
                    subsequently between the parties each day. The Chair 
                    wishes to clarify for Members that any 60- or 30-
                    minute period that is not claimed at the appropriate 
                    time will be considered to have expired; this 
                    includes the first 60-minute period of the day.

                The allocation of time within each party's 2-hour period 
                    (or shorter period if prorated to end by 10 p.m.) 
                    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 one week prior 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 and includes the ability to withdraw 
                    recognition for longer special-order speeches should 
                    circumstances warrant.
