    [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office]

                                3. PRIVATECALENDAR

      Rule XIII, clause 1(a):

      ``(3) A Private Calendar as provided in clause 5 of rule XV, to which shall

     be referred all private bills and private resolutions.''

      Rule XV, clause 5:

      ``5. (a) On the first Tuesday of a month, the Speaker shall direct the Clerk

     to call the bills and resolutions on the Private Calendar after disposal of

     such business on the Speaker's table as requires reference only. If two or

     more Members, Delegates, or the Resident Commissioner object to the

     consideration of a bill or resolution so called, it shall be recommitted to

     the committee that reported it. No other business shall be in order before

     completion of the call  of the Private Calendar on this day unless two-thirds

     of the Members voting, a quorum being present, agree to a motion that the

     House dispense with the call.

     ``(b)(1) On the third Tuesday of  month, after the disposal of such business

     on the Speaker's table as requires reference only, the Speaker may direct the

     Clerk to call the bills and resolutions on the Private Calendar. Preference

     shall be given to omnibus bills containing the texts of bills or resolutions

     that have previously been objected to on a call of the Private Calendar. If

     two or more Members, Delegates, or the Resident Commissioner object to the

     consideration of a bill or resolution so called (other than on omnibus bill),

     it shall be recommitted to the committee that reported it. Two-thirds of the

     Members voting, a quorum being present, may adopt a motion that the House

     dispense with the call on this day.

     ``(2) Omnibus bills shall be read for amendment by paragraph. No amendment

     shall be in order except to strike or to reduce amounts of money or to

     provide limitations. An item or matter stricken from an omnibus bill may

     not thereafter during the same session of Congress be included in an

     omnibus bill.

      Upon passage such an omnibus bill shall be resolved into the several

     bills and  resolutions of which it is composed. The several bills and

     resolutions, with any amendments adopted by the House, shall be engrossed,

     when necessary, and  otherwise considered as passed severally by the House

     as distinct bills and resolutions.

     ``(c) The Speaker may not entertain a reservation of the right to object to

     the consideration of a bill or resolution under this clause. A bill or

     resolution considered under this clause shall be considered in the House as

     in the Committee of the Whole. A motion to dispense with the call of the

     Private Calendar under this clause shall be privileged. Debate on such a

     motion shall be limited to five minutes in support and five minutes in

     opposition.''
