                            3. PRIVATE CALENDAR



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 any day, after the disposal of such business on the Speaker's table 
as requires reference only, the Speaker may direct the Clerk to call any bill or 
resolution that has been on the Private Calendar for at least seven days, but 
only on the second legislative day after the legislative day on which the Speaker 
or a designee announces to the House an intention to do so. 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 an 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.''
