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 118th 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 least one 
                    day prior to the special 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 
                    speeches will appear on the screen. The Chair may 
                    announce other 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.
