NOTE: The Senate Committees on Military Affairs; on the Militia;
and Naval Affairs were established on December 10, 1816. The Committee
on the Militia was merged with the Committee on Military Affairs in 1858
to form the Military Affairs and Militia Committee. However, in 1872 the
Committee dropped ``Militia'' from its name. The Military Affairs and
Naval Affairs Committees existed until 1947 when they were combined by
the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 into a new standing
committee, the current Armed Services Committee.

RULES OF PROCEDURE OF THE COMMITTEE ON ARMED SERVICES
------------

(Adopted January 30, 2007)

1. Regular Meeting Day.--The Committee shall meet at least once a
month when Congress is in session. The regular meeting days of the
Committee shall be Tuesday and Thursday, unless the Chairman, after
consultation with the Ranking Minority Member, directs otherwise.

2. Additional Meetings.--The Chairman, after consultation with the
Ranking Minority Member, may call such additional meetings as he deems
necessary.

3. Special Meetings.--Special meetings of the Committee may be
called by a majority of the members of the Committee in accordance with
paragraph 3 of Rule XXVI of the Standing Rules of the Senate.

4. Open Meetings.--Each meeting of the Committee, or any
subcommittee thereof, including meetings to conduct hearings, shall be
open to the public, except that a meeting or series of meetings by the
Committee or a subcommittee thereof on the same subject for a period of
no more than fourteen (14) calendar days may be closed to the public on
a motion made and seconded to go into closed session to discuss only
whether the matters enumerated below in clauses (a) through (f) would
require the meeting to be closed, followed immediately by a record vote
in open session by a majority of the members of the Committee or
subcommittee when it is determined that the matters to be discussed or
the testimony to be taken at such meeting or meetings--

(a) will disclose matters necessary to be kept secret in the
interests of national defense or the confidential conduct of the
foreign relations of the United States;

(b) will relate solely to matters of Committee staff personnel
or internal staff management or procedure;

(c) will tend to charge an individual with a crime or
misconduct, to disgrace or injure the professional standing of an
individual, or otherwise to expose an individual to public contempt
or obloquy or will represent a clearly unwarranted invasion of the
privacy of an individual;

(d) will disclose the identity of any informer or law
enforcement agent or will disclose any information relating to the
investigation or prosecution of a criminal offense that is required
to be kept secret in the interests of effective law enforcement;

(e) will disclose information relating to the trade secrets or
financial or commercial information pertaining specifically to a
given person if--

(1) an Act of Congress requires the information to be kept
confidential by Government officers and employees; or

(2) the information has been obtained by the Government on a
confidential basis, other than through an application by such person
for a specific Government financial or other benefit, and is
required to be kept secret in order to prevent undue injury to the
competitive position of such person; or

(f) may divulge matters required to be kept confidential under
other provisions of law or Government regulations.

5. Presiding Officer.--The Chairman shall preside at all meetings
and hearings of the Committee except that in his absence the Ranking
Majority Member present at the meeting or hearing shall preside unless
by majority vote the Committee provides otherwise.

6. Quorum.--(a) A majority of the members of the Committee are
required to be actually present to report a matter or measure from the
Committee. (See Standing Rules of the Senate 26.7(a)(1).)

(b) Except as provided in subsections (a) and (c), and other
than for the conduct of hearings, nine members of the Committee,
including one member of the minority party; or a majority of the
members of the Committee, shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of such business as may be considered by the Committee.

(c) Three members of the Committee, one of whom shall be a
member of the minority party, shall constitute a quorum for the
purpose of taking sworn testimony, unless otherwise ordered by a
majority of the full Committee.

(d) Proxy votes may not be considered for the purpose of
establishing a quorum.

7. Proxy Voting.--Proxy voting shall be allowed on all measures and
matters before the Committee. The vote by proxy of any member of the
Committee may be counted for the purpose of reporting any measure or
matter to the Senate if the absent member casting such vote has been
informed of the matter on which the member is being recorded and has
affirmatively requested that he or she be so recorded. Proxy must be
given in writing.

8. Announcement of Votes.--The results of all roll call votes taken
in any meeting of the Committee on any measure, or amendment thereto,
shall be announced in the Committee report, unless previously announced
by the Committee. The announcement shall include a tabulation of the
votes cast in favor and votes cast in opposition to each such measure
and amendment by each member of the Committee who was present at such
meeting. The Chairman, after consultation with the Ranking Minority
Member, may hold open a roll call vote on any measure or matter which is
before the Committee until no later than midnight of the day on which
the Committee votes on such measure or matter.

9. Subpoenas.--Subpoenas for attendance of witnesses and for the
production of memoranda, documents, records, and the like may be issued,
after consultation with the Ranking Minority Member, by the Chairman or
any other member designated by the Chairman, but only when authorized by
a majority of the members of the Committee. The subpoena shall briefly
state the matter to which the witness is expected to testify or the
documents to be produced.

10. Hearings.--(a) Public notice shall be given of the date, place
and subject matter of any hearing to be held by the Committee, or any
subcommittee thereof, at least 1 week in advance of such hearing, unless
the Committee or subcommittee determines that good cause exists for
beginning such hearings at an earlier time.

(b) Hearings may be initiated only by the specified
authorization of the Committee or subcommittee.

(c) Hearings shall be held only in the District of Columbia
unless specifically authorized to be held elsewhere by a majority
vote of the Committee or subcommittee conducting such hearings.

(d) The Chairman of the Committee or subcommittee shall consult
with the Ranking Minority Member thereof before naming witnesses for
a hearing.

(e) Witnesses appearing before the Committee shall file with the
clerk of the Committee a written statement of their proposed
testimony prior to the hearing at which they are to appear unless
the Chairman and the Ranking Minority Member determine that there is
good cause not to file such a statement. Witnesses testifying on
behalf of the Administration shall furnish an additional 50 copies
of their statement to the Committee. All statements must be received
by the Committee at least 48 hours (not including weekends or
holidays) before the hearing.

(f) Confidential testimony taken or confidential material
presented in a closed hearing of the Committee or subcommittee or
any report of the proceedings of such hearing shall not be made
public in whole or in part or by way of summary unless authorized by
a majority vote of the Committee or subcommittee.

(g) Any witness summoned to give testimony or evidence at a
public or closed hearing of the Committee or subcommittee may be
accompanied by counsel of his own choosing who shall be permitted at
all times during such hearing to advise such witness of his legal
rights.

(h) Witnesses providing unsworn testimony to the Committee may
be given a transcript of such testimony for the purpose of making
minor grammatical corrections. Such witnesses will not, however, be
permitted to alter the substance of their testimony. Any question
involving such corrections shall be decided by the Chairman.

11. Nominations.--Unless otherwise ordered by the Committee,
nominations referred to the Committee shall be held for at least seven
(7) days before being voted on by the Committee. Each member of the
Committee shall be furnished a copy of all nominations referred to the
Committee.

12. Real Property Transactions.--Each member of the Committee shall
be furnished with a copy of the proposals of the Secretaries of the
Army, Navy, and Air Force, submitted pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2662 and with
a copy of the proposals of the Director of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, submitted pursuant to 50 U.S.C. App. 2285, regarding
the proposed acquisition or disposition of property of an estimated
price or rental of more than $50,000. Any member of the Committee
objecting to or requesting information on a proposed acquisition or
disposal shall communicate his objection or request to the Chairman of
the Committee within thirty (30) days from the date of submission.

13. Legislative Calendar.--(a) The clerk of the Committee shall keep
a printed calendar for the information of each Committee member showing
the bills introduced and referred to the Committee and the status of
such bills. Such calendar shall be revised from time to time to show
pertinent changes in such bills, the current status thereof, and new
bills introduced and referred to the Committee. A copy of each new
revision shall be furnished to each member of the Committee.

(b) Unless otherwise ordered, measures referred to the Committee
shall be referred by the clerk of the Committee to the appropriate
department or agency of the Government for reports thereon.

14. Except as otherwise specified herein, the Standing Rules of the
Senate shall govern the actions of the Committee. Each subcommittee of
the Committee is part of the Committee, and is therefore subject to the
Committee's rules so far as applicable.

15. Powers and Duties of Subcommittees.--Each subcommittee is
authorized to meet, hold hearings, receive evidence, and report to the
full Committee on all matters referred to it. Subcommittee chairmen,
after consultation with Ranking Minority Members of the subcommittees,
shall set dates for hearings and meetings of their respective
