------------
I.
MEETINGS OF THE COMMITTEE
1.
Meetings of the Committee may be called by the Chairman as he
many deem necessary on three days' notice of the date, time,
place and subject matter of the meeting, or in the
alternative with the consent of the Ranking Minority Member,
or pursuant to the provision of the Standing Rules of the
Senate, as amended.
2.
Unless otherwise called pursuant to (1) of this section,
Committee meetings shall take place promptly at 9:30 AM each
Thursday the Senate is in session.
3.
At the request of any Member, or by action of the Chairman, a
bill, matter, or nomination on the agenda of the Committee
may be held over until the next meeting of the Committee or
for one week, whichever occurs later.
II.
HEARINGS OF THE COMMITTEE
1.
The Committee shall provide a public announcement of the
date, time, place and subject matter of any hearing to be
conducted by the Committee or any Subcommittee at least seven
calendar days prior to the commencement of that hearing,
unless the Chairman with the consent of the Ranking Minority
Member determines that good cause exists to begin such
hearing at an earlier date. Witnesses shall provide a written
statement of their testimony and curriculum vitae to the
Committee at least 24 hours preceding the hearing testimony
in as many copies as the Chairman of the Committee or
Subcommittee prescribes.
2.
In the event 14 calendar days' notice of a hearing has been
made, any witness appearing before the Committee, including
any witness representing a Government agency, must file with
the Committee at least 48 hours preceding her appearance a
written statement of her testimony and curriculum vitae in as
many copies as the Chairman of the Committee or Subcommittee
prescribes. In the event the witness fails to file a written
statement in accordance with this rule, the Chairman may
permit the witness to testify, or deny the witness the
privilege of testifying before the Committee, or permit the
witness to testify in response to questions from Senators
without the benefit of giving an opening statement.
III.
QUORUMS
1.
One-third of the membership of the Committee, actually
present, shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of
discussing business. Eight members of the Committee,
including at least two members of the minority, must be
present to transact business. No bill, matter, or nomination
shall be ordered reported from the Committee, however, unless
a majority of the Committee is actually present at the time
such action is taken and a majority of those present support
the action taken.
2.
For the purpose of taking sworn testimony, a quorum of the
Committee and each Subcommittee thereof, now or hereafter
appointed, shall consist of one Senator.
IV.
BRINGIN A MATTER TO A VOTE
1.
The Chairman shall entertain a non-debatable motion to bring
a matter before the Committee to a vote. If there is
objection to bring the matter to a vote without further
debate, a roll call vote of the Committee shall be taken, and
debate shall be terminated if the motion to bring the matter
to a vote without further debate passes with ten votes in the
affirmative, one of which must be cast by the minority.
V.
AMENDMENTS
1.
Provided at least seven calendar days' notice of the agenda
is given, and the text of the proposed bill or resolution has
been made available at least seven calendar days in advance,
it shall not be in order for the Committee to consider any
amendment in the first degree proposed to any measure under
consideration by the Committee unless such amendment has been
delivered to the office of the Committee and circulated via
e-mail to each of the offices by at least 5:00 PM the day
prior to the scheduled start of the meeting.
\1\ Reaffirmed by the Senate Committee on the Judiciary in executive
session on July 14, 2005.
2.
It shall be in order, without prior notice, for a Member to
offer a motion to strike a single section of any bill,
resolution, or amendment under consideration.
3.
The time limit imposed on the filing of amendments shall
apply to no more than three bills identified by the Chairman
and included on the Committee's legislative agenda.
4.
This section of the rule may be waived by agreement of the
Chairman and the Ranking Minority Member.
VI.
PROXY VOTING
1.
When a recorded vote is taken in the Committee on any bill,
resolution, amendment, or any other question, a quorum being
present, a Member who is unable to attend the meeting may
submit her vote by proxy, in writing or by telephone, or
through personal instructions. A proxy must be specific with
respect to the matters it addresses and may not be counted
either in reporting a matter, bill, or nomination to the
floor, or in preventing any of the same from being reported
to the floor.
VII.
SUBCOMMITTEES
1.
Any Member of the Committee may sit with any Subcommittee
during its hearings or any other meeting, but shall not have
the authority to vote on any matter before the Subcommittee
unless she is a Member of such Subcommittee.
2.
Subcommittees shall be considered de novo whenever there is a
change in the Subcommittee chairmanship and seniority on the
particular Subcommittee shall not necessarily apply.
3.
Except for matters retained at the full Committee, matters
shall be referred to the appropriate Subcommittee or
Subcommittees by the Chairman, except as agreed by a majority
vote of the Committee or by the agreement of the Chairman and
the Ranking Minority Member.
4.
Provided all Members of the Subcommittee consent, a bill or
other matter may be polled out of the Subcommittee. In order
to be polled out of a Subcommittee, a majority of the Members
of the Subcommittee who vote, must vote in favor of reporting
the bill or matter to the Committee.
VIII.

Official attendance at all Committee markups and executive
sessions of the Committee shall be kept by the Committee
Clerk. Official attendance at all Subcommittee markups and
executive sessions shall be kept by the Subcommittee Clerk.

SUBCOMMITTEE ON ADMINISTRATIVE OVERSIGHT AND THE COURTS
STANDARDS TO BE USED IN ADJUDICATING PRIVATE CLAIMS BILLS
The right to petition for redress of grievances is guaranteed by the
first amendment to the Constitution. When called upon to decide whether
relief should be granted persons seeking redress of grievances, the
subcommittee is guided by principles of equity and justice. In
connection with its jurisdiction over claims, the subcommittee considers
private bills extending relief to individuals who have no other existing
remedy. The task of the subcommittee is to determine whether the
equities and circumstances of a case create a moral obligation on the
part of the Government to extend relief to an individual.
1.
The meeting of this subcommittee shall be held upon
appropriate notice by the chairman of the subcommittee.
2.
No consideration shall be given to any bill until request is
made by the author or sponsor, who shall file sufficient
evidence in its behalf.
3.
No private bill shall be considered if an adequate judicial
or administrative remedy exists, or where court proceedings
are pending for the purpose of adjusting or changing the
status of the beneficiary.
4.
No favorable consideration shall be given to any private bill
until the proper department or agency has submitted a report.
The subcommittee will obtain such report upon request.
5.
Upon receipt of reports from the Departments, private bills
shall be scheduled for subcommittee consideration in the
chronological order of their introduction, except that
priority shall be given to bills introduced earliest in any
of the previous Congresses.
6.
Bills which have been previously tabled shall not be
reconsidered unless new evidence is introduced showing a
material change of the facts known to the subcommittee. In
the event of a request for reconsideration the subcommittee
shall, insofar as practicable, dispose of such request at the
first meeting of the subcommittee following receipt of such
request.
NOTE:
The number of bills referred to the subcommittee makes
it impossible to continue to review cases which were
the subjects of unfavorable consideration at a prior
time. A case considered by the subcommittee and
rejected at a previous consideration will be viewed in
the same light as a case which has been adversely
decided by a court.
7.
The subcommittee shall not consider any claim filed with the
Office of Workmen's Compensation Programs, Department of
Labor, considered on its merits and disallowed; or any bill
awarding or increasing compensation to an employee or
dependents in lieu of that prescribed by chapter 81--
Compensation for Work Injuries, of title 5, U.S. Code, or
otherwise interfering with the provisions of that chapter,
except bills to waive the limitations of time contained in
pertinent sections of the act.
NOTE:
Bills to waive statutes of limitation as they apply to
this subject area, may be waived upon two-thirds vote
of this subcommittee. As a matter of policy, these
bills will include, if approved by the subcommittee, a
provision precluding the receipt of benefits for any
period prior to their date of approval. In addition,
such bills will include a limitation requiring
presentation of claims within 6 months from the date of
approval. The showing required by the subcommittee to
warrant favorable consideration of such a bill is at
least a prima facie case, coupled with justification
for failure to file with the time prescribed by the
act. Statute of limitations problems are the only
aspects of employee compensation cases that will be
entertained by the subcommittee. The subcommittee has
concluded that if the relief now extended to regular
government employees or persons entitled to benefits is
inadequate under the general law, the remedy must come
by general law, not by enactment of discriminatory
private legislation in selected cases.
8.
The subcommittee shall not consider any claim for retirement
benefits, compensation, pension, or gratuity by an employee
of the Government, or a member of the Armed Forces or the
Reserves, or by his dependents, when the retirement benefits,
compensation, pension, or gratuity to which such person
claims to be entitled is specifically covered by statutes,
which apply in a uniform manner to all similarly situated
individuals.
NOTE:
The subjects of benefits, compensation, retirement, and
pension rights of persons who serve or who previously
served in the Armed Forces of the United States are
fully covered by public law. Private bills providing
for the award of such benefits to persons or their
dependents contrary to the system of benefits awarded
under applicable law to other similarly situated
individuals, will not be entertained by the
subcommittee.
9.
The subcommittee shall not consider any claim for retirement
benefits, compensation, pension, or gratuity under the
Railroad Retirement Act when such claim has been considered
on its merits and disallowed or otherwise conflicts with the
provisions and compensation of that act, except bills to
waive the limitation of time. This rule may be waived only
upon order of two-thirds of the subcommittee present and
voting.
10.
The subcommittee shall not consider any claims bill for
benefits under the Social Security Act as amended, when an
application for such benefits has been considered on its
merits and disallowed or the provisions of the bill otherwise
modify or extend the provision or benefits payable under that
act, but this prohibition shall not apply to bills to waive
limitations of time. This rule may be waived only upon order
of two-thirds of the subcommittee.
11.
In all bills carrying an appropriation, a provision shall be
added limiting attorney's fees to not more than 10 percent.
This limitation shall not apply to claims based upon findings
of the chief commissioner of the Court of Claims, court
decisions, or where extraordinary services have been
rendered. In such cases the subcommittee will determine the
amount of fee to be allowed.

SUBCOMMITTEE ON IMMIGRATION, BORDER SECURITY AND CITIZENSHIP
RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR INTRODUCING A PRIVATE RELIEF BILL (IMMIGRATION)
1. The introduction of a private bill does not act as a stay of
deportation until the committee requests a departmental report. Requests
for reports on private bills from the departments shall be made only
upon a written request addressed to the chairman of the subcommittee by
the author of such bill. That request shall contain the following
information:
(a)
In the case of an alien who is physically in the United
States:
The date and place of the alien's last entry into the
United States; his or her immigration status at that time
(visitor, student, exchange student, crewman, stowaway,
illegal border crosser, etc.); his or her age; place of
birth; address in the United States; and the location of the
U.S. Consulate at which he or she obtained a visa, if any.
(b)
In the case of an alien who is physically outside of the
United States:
The alien's age; place of birth; address; and the
location of the U.S. Consulate before which his or her
application for a visa is pending; and the address of the
relationship to the person primarily interested in the
alien's admission to the United States.
(c)
In the case of an alien who is seeking expeditious
naturalization:
The date the alien was admitted to the United States for
permanent residence; his or her age; place of birth; and
address in the United States.
2. The committee shall not address to the Attorney General
communications designed to defer deportation of beneficiaries of private
bills who have entered the United States as nonimmigrants, stowaways, in
transit, deserting crewmen, or by surreptitiously entering without
inspection through the land or sea borders of the United States.
Exemption from this rule may be granted by the subcommittee if
the bill is designed to prevent unusual hardship to the beneficiary or
to U.S. citizens. However, no such exemption may be granted unless the
author of the bill has secured and filed with the subcommittee full and
complete documentary evidence in support of his or her request to waive
the rule.
3. No private bill shall be considered if an adequate judicial or
administrative remedy exists, or where court proceedings are pending for
the purpose of adjusting or changing the immigration status of the
beneficiary.
4. No favorable consideration shall be given to any private bill
until the proper department has submitted a report.
5. Upon the receipt of reports from the departments, private bills
shall be scheduled for subcommittee consideration in the chronological
order of their introduction, except that priority shall be given to
bills introduced earliest in any previous Congresses.
6. Bills previously tabled shall not be reconsidered unless new
evidence is introduced showing a material change of the facts known to
the committee. In the event of a request for reconsideration the
subcommittee shall, insofar as practicable, dispose of such request at
the first meeting of the subcommittee following receipt of such request.
Material To Be Submitted by the Author
Supporting information shall be limited to three or four typewritten
pages and must include an in-depth statement by the author setting forth
the equities in the case and why an adequate judicial or administrative
remedy is not available. Background material and other pertinent
information, including character references, etc., are acceptable.
When a private immigration bill is recommended for favorable action,
the supporting information is used for the Senate report and must be
typewritten to be cut and pasted for printing. Therefore, do not send
originals that you want returned. An important document, such as an
original birth certificate, should be retained by the author--a copy
will be sufficient for the subcommittee.
