                   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.
