                         I. RULES OF PROCEDURE

Regular Meeting Days.--The regular meeting day of the committee shall 
be the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, except that if there be 
no business before the committee the regular meeting shall be omitted.

Committee Meetings.--(a) Except as provided by paragraph 3 of Rule XXVI 
of the Standing Rules of the Senate (relating to special meetings 
called by a majority of the committee) and subsection (b) of this rule, 
committee meetings, for the conduct of business, for the purpose of 
holding hearings, or for any other purpose, shall be called by the 
chairman. Members will be notified of committee meetings at least 48 
hours in advance, unless the chairman determines that an emergency 
situation requires a meeting on shorter notice. The notification will 
include a written agenda together with materials prepared by the staff 
relating to that agenda. After the agenda for a committee meeting is 
published and distributed, no nongermane items may be brought up during 
that meeting unless at least two-thirds of the members present agree to 
consider those items.
In the absence of the chairman, meetings of the committee may be called 
by the ranking majority member of the committee who is present, 
provided authority to call meetings has been delegated to such member 
by the chairman.

Presiding Officer.--(a) The chairman shall preside at all meetings and 
hearings of the committee except that in his absence the ranking 
majority member who is present at the meeting shall preside.
Notwithstanding the rule prescribed by subsection (a) any member of the 
committee may preside over the conduct of a hearing.

Quorums.--(a) Except as provided in subsection (b) one-third of the 
membership of the committee, including not less than one member of the 
majority party and one member of the minority party, shall constitute a 
quorum for the conduct of business.
Notwithstanding the rule prescribed by subsection (a) one member shall 
constitute a quorum for the purpose of conducting a hearing.

Reporting of Measures or Recommendations.--No measure or recommendation 
shall be reported from the committee unless a majority of the committee 
is actually present and a majority of those present concur.

Proxy Voting; Polling.--(a) Except as provided by paragraph 7(a)(3) of 
Rule XXVI of the Standing Rules of the Senate (relating to limitation 
on use of proxy voting to report a measure or matter), members who are 
unable to be present may have their vote recorded by proxy.
At the discretion of the committee, members who are unable to be 
present and whose vote has not been cast by proxy may be polled for the 
purpose of recording their vote on any rollcall taken by the committee.

Order of Motions.--When several motions are before the committee 
dealing with related or overlapping matters, the chairman may specify 
the order in which the motions shall be voted upon.

Bringing a Matter to a Vote.--If the chairman determines that a motion 
or amendment has been adequately debated, he may call for a vote on 
such motion or amendment, and the vote shall then be taken, unless the 
committee votes to continue debate on such motion or amendment, as the 
case may be. The vote on a motion to continue debate on any motion or 
amendment shall be taken without debate.

Public Announcement of Committee Votes.--Pursuant to paragraph 7(b) of 
Rule XXVI of the Standing Rules of the Senate (relating to public 
announcement of votes), the results of rollcall votes taken by the 
committee on any measure (or amendment thereto) or matter shall be 
announced publicly not later than the day on which such measure or 
matter is ordered reported from the committee.

Subpoenas.--Subpoenas for attendance of witnesses and the production of 
memoranda, documents, and records shall be issued by the chairman, or 
by any other member of the committee designated by him.

Nominations.--In considering a nomination, the committee may conduct an 
investigation or review of the nominee's experience, qualifications, 
and suitability, to serve in the position to which he or she has been 
nominated. To aid in such investigation or review, each nominee may be 
required to submit a sworn detailed statement including biographical, 
financial, policy, and other information which the committee may 
request. The committee may specify which items in such statement are to 
be received on a confidential basis. Witnesses called to testify on the 
nomination may be required to testify under oath.

Open Committee Hearings.--To the extent required by paragraph 5 of Rule 
XXVI of the Standing Rules of the Senate (relating to limitations on 
open hearings), each hearing conducted by the committee shall be open 
to the public.

Announcement of Hearings.--The committee shall undertake consistent 
with the provisions of paragraph 4(a) of Rule XXVI of the Standing 
Rules of the Senate (relating to public notice of committee hearings) 
to issue public announcements of hearings it intends to hold at least 
one week prior to the commencement of such hearings.

Witnesses at Hearings.--(a) Each witness who is scheduled to testify at 
any hearing must submit his written testimony to the staff director not 
later than noon of the business day immediately before the last 
business day preceding the day on which he is scheduled to appear. Such 
written testimony shall be accompanied by a brief summary of the 
principal points covered in the written testimony. Having submitted his 
written testimony, the witness shall be allowed not more than 10 
minutes for oral presentation of his statement.
Witnesses may not read their entire written testimony, but must confine 
their oral presentation to a summarization of their arguments.
Witnesses shall observe proper standards of dignity, decorum, and 
propriety while presenting their views to the committee. Any witness 
who violates this rule shall be dismissed, and his testimony (both oral 
and written) shall not appear in the record of the hearing.
In scheduling witnesses for hearings, the staff shall attempt to 
schedule witnesses so as to attain a balance of views early in the 
hearings. Every member of the committee may designate witnesses who 
will appear before the committee to testify. To the extent that a 
witness designated by a member cannot be scheduled to testify during 
the time set aside for the hearing, a special time will be set aside 
for the witness to testify if the member designating that witness is 
available at that time to chair the hearing.

Audiences.--Persons admitted into the audience for open hearings of the 
committee shall conduct themselves with the dignity, decorum, courtesy, 
and propriety traditionally observed by the Senate. Demonstrations of 
approval or disapproval of any statement or act by any member or 
witness are not allowed. Persons creating confusion or distractions or 
otherwise disrupting the orderly proceeding of the hearing shall be 
expelled from the hearing.

Broadcasting of Hearings.--(a) Broadcasting of open hearings by 
television or radio coverage shall be allowed upon approval by the 
chairman of a request filed with the staff director not later than noon 
of the day before the day on which such coverage is desired.
If such approval is granted, broadcasting coverage of the hearing shall 
be conducted unobtrusively and in accordance with the standards of 
dignity, propriety, courtesy, and decorum traditionally observed by the 
Senate.
Equipment necessary for coverage by television and radio media shall 
not be installed in, or removed from, the hearing room while the 
committee is in session.
Additional lighting may be installed in the hearing room by the media 
in order to raise the ambient lighting level to the lowest level 
necessary to provide adequate television coverage of the hearing at the 
then current state of the art of television coverage.
The additional lighting authorized by subsection (d) of this rule shall 
not be directed into the eyes of any members of the committee or of any 
witness, and at the request of any such member or witness, offending 
lighting shall be extinguished.

Subcommittees.--(a) The chairman, subject to the approval of the 
committee, shall appoint legislative subcommittees. All legislation 
shall be kept on the full committee calendar unless a majority of the 
members present and voting agree to refer specific legislation to an 
appropriate subcommittee.
The chairman may limit the period during which House-passed legislation 
referred to a subcommittee under paragraph (a) will remain in that 
subcommittee. At the end of that period, the legislation will be 
restored to the full committee calendar. The period referred to in the 
preceding sentences should be 6 weeks, but may be extended in the event 
that adjournment or a long recess is imminent.
All decisions of the chairman are subject to approval or modification 
by a majority vote of the committee.
The full committee may at any time by majority vote of those members 
present discharge a subcommittee from further consideration of a 
specific piece of legislation.
The chairman and ranking minority member shall serve as nonvoting ex 
officio members of the subcommittees on which they do not serve as 
voting members.
Any member of the committee may attend hearings held by any 
subcommittee and question witnesses testifying before that 
subcommittee.
Subcommittee meeting times shall be coordinated by the staff director 
to ensure that--
(1) no subcommittee meeting will be held when the committee is in 
executive session, except by unanimous consent;
(2) no more than one subcommittee will meet when the full committee is 
holding hearings; and
(3) not more than two subcommittees will meet at the same time.
Notwithstanding paragraphs (2) and (3), a subcommittee may meet when 
the full committee is holding hearings and two subcommittees may meet 
at the same time only upon the approval of the chairman and the ranking 
minority member of the committee and subcommittees involved.
All nominations shall be considered by the full committee.
The chairman will attempt to schedule reasonably frequent meetings of 
the full committee to permit consideration of legislation reported 
favorably to the committee by the subcommittees.

Transcripts of Committee Meetings.--An accurate record shall be kept of 
all markups of the committee, whether they be open or closed to the 
public. A transcript, marked as ``uncorrected,'' shall be available for 
inspection by Members of the Senate, or members of the committee 
together with their staffs, at any time. Not later than 21 business 
days after the meeting occurs, the committee shall make publicly 
available through the Internet--
a video recording;              (a)
an audio recording; or          (b)
after all members of the committee have had a reasonable opportunity to 
correct their remarks for grammatical errors or to accurately reflect 
statements, a corrected transcript.
Notwithstanding the above, in the case of the record of an executive 
session of the committee that is closed to the public pursuant to Rule 
XXVI of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the record shall not be 
published or made public in any way except by majority vote of the 
committee after all members of the committee have had a reasonable 
opportunity to correct their remarks for grammatical errors or to 
accurately reflect statements made.

Amendment of Rules.--The foregoing rules may be added to, modified, 
amended, or suspended at any time.
