                            HOUSE MEETS AT 12:30 P.M.

                                 SPECIAL ORDERS

                                 (See Next Page)

                                 SPECIAL ORDERS

    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 119th 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.
