                         RULES GOVERNING PRESS GALLERIES

        1. Administration of the press galleries shall be vested in a
    Standing Committee of Correspondents elected by accredited members of
    the galleries. The Committee shall consist of five persons elected to
    serve for terms of two years. Provided, however, that at the election in
    January 1951, the three candidates receiving the highest number of votes
    shall serve for two years and the remaining two for one year.
    Thereafter, three members shall be elected in odd-numbered years and two
    in even-numbered years. Elections shall be held in January. The
    Committee shall elect its own chairman and secretary. Vacancies on the
    Committee shall be filled by special election to be called by the
    Standing Committee.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
        *Information is based on data furnished and edited by each
    respective gallery.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
        2. Persons desiring admission to the press galleries of Congress
    shall make application in accordance with Rule VI of the House of
    Representatives, subject to the direction and control of the Speaker and
    Rule 33 of the Senate, which rules shall be interpreted and administered
    by the Standing Committee of Correspondents, subject to the review and
    an approval by the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration.

    [[Page 970]]

        3. The Standing Committee of Correspondents shall limit membership
    in the press galleries to bone fide correspondents of repute in their
    profession, under such rules as the Standing Committee of Correspondents
    shall prescribe.
        4. An applicant for press credentials through the Daily Press
    Galleries must establish to the satisfaction of the Standing Committee
    of Correspondents that he or she is a full-time, paid correspondent who
    requires on-site access to congressional members and staff.
    Correspondents must be employed by a news organization:
        (a) with General Publication periodicals mailing privileges under
    U.S. Postal Service rules, and which publishes daily; or
        (b) whose principal business is the daily dissemination of original
    news and opinion of interest to a broad segment of the public, and which
    has published continuously for 18 months.
        The applicant must reside in the Washington, D.C. area, and must not
    be engaged in any lobbying or paid advocacy, advertising, publicity or
    promotion work for any individual, political party, corporation,
    organization, or agency of the U.S. government, or in prosecuting any
    claim before Congress or any federal government department, and will not
    do so while a member of the Daily Press Galleries.
        Applicants' publications must be editorially independent of any
    institution, foundation or interest group that lobbies the federal
    government, or that is not principally a general news organization.
        Failure to provide information to the Standing Committee for this
    determination, or misrepresenting information, can result in the denial
    or revocation of credentials.
        5. Members of the families of correspondents are not entitled to the
    privileges of the galleries.
        6. The Standing Committee of Correspondents shall propose no changes
    in these rules except upon petition in writing signed by not less than
    100 accredited members of the galleries. The above rules have been
    approved by the Committee on Rules and Administration.

                                                John A. Boehner,
                                Speaker of the House of Representatives.

        1. Persons eligible for admission to the Periodical Press Galleries
    must be bona fide resident correspondents of reputable standing, giving
    their chief attention to the gathering and reporting of news. They shall
    state in writing the names of their employers and their additional
    sources of earned income; and they shall declare that, while a member of

    claims, and will not become engaged or assist, directly or indirectly,
    in any lobbying, promotion, advertising, or publicity activity intended
    to influence legislation or any other action of the Congress, nor any
    matter before any independent agency, or any department or other
    instrumentality of the Executive Branch; and that they will not act as
    an agent for, or be employed by the Federal, or any State, local or
    foreign government or representatives thereof; and that they will not,
    directly or indirectly, furnish special or ``insider'' information
    intended to influence prices or for the purpose of trading on any
    commodity or stock exchange; and that they will not become employed,
    directly or indirectly, by any stock exchange, board of trade or other
    organization or member thereof, or brokerage house or broker engaged in
    the buying and selling of any security or commodity. Applications shall
    be submitted to the Executive Committee of the Periodical
    Correspondents' Association and shall be authenticated in a manner
    satisfactory to the Executive Committee.

        2. Applicants must be employed by periodicals that regularly publish
    a substantial volume of news material of either general, economic,
    industrial, technical, cultural, or trade character. The periodical must
    require such Washington coverage on a continuing basis and must be owned
    and operated independently of any government, industry, institution,
    association, or lobbying organization. Applicants must also be employed
    by a periodical that is published for profit and is supported chiefly by

    independent agency or any department or other instrumentality of the
    Executive Branch. House organs are not eligible.
        3. Members of the families of correspondents are not entitled to the
    privileges of the galleries.
        4. The Executive Committee may issue temporary credentials
    permitting the privileges of the galleries to individuals who meet the
    rules of eligibility but who may be on short-term assignment or
    temporarily residing in Washington.
        5. Under the authority of Rule 6 of the House of Representatives and
    of Rule 33 of the Senate, the Periodical Galleries shall be under the
    control of the Executive Committee, subject to the approval and
    supervision of the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the
    Senate Committee on Rules and Administration. It shall be the duty of
    the Executive Committee, at its discretion, to report violations of the
    privileges of the galleries to the Speaker or the Senate Committee on
    Rules and Administration, and pending action thereon, the offending
    correspondent may be suspended. The committee shall be elected at the
    start of each Congress by members of the Periodical Correspondents'
    Association and shall consist of seven members with no more than one
    member from any one publishing organization. The committee shall elect
    its own officers and a majority of the committee may fill vacancies on
    the committee. The list in the Congressional Directory shall be a list
    only of members of the Periodical Correspondents' Association.
