    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 117th Congress.
                                        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. Additionally, Members
                                        must sign up with their leadership
                                        for any special-order speech at

                                        order. The Chair will not recognize
                                        a Member for more than one special-
                                        order speech per week, nor may a
                                        Member sign up for a second special-
                                        order speech in the same week.
                                        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

                                        recognition by the Speaker is
                                        without prejudice to the Speaker's
                                        ultimate power of recognition under
                                        clause 2 of rule XVII and includes
