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''

                                    hour debate or that the House has 
                                    completed its legislative business 
                                    and is proceeding with special-order 
                                    speeches will appear on the screen.

                                    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.
