Committee Meetings
FAIR ACCESS TO INDEMNITY AND REIMBURSEMENT ACT
  Committee on Rules: Granted, by voice vote, a modified open rule, 
providing 1 hour of debate on H.R. 1987, Fair Access to Indemnity 
and Reimbursement Act. The rule makes in order the Committee on 
Education and the Workforce amendment in the nature of a substitute 
now printed in the bill as an original bill for the purpose of 
amendment, which shall be open for amendment at any point. The rule 
makes in order only those amendments printed in the Congressional 
Record and pro forma amendments for the purpose of debate. The rule 
provides that each amendment printed in the Congressional Record may 
be offered only by the Member who caused it to be printed or his 
designee, and that each amendment shall be considered as read. The 
rule allows the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole to postpone 
votes during consideration of the bill, and to reduce voting time to 
five minutes on a postponed question if the vote follows a fifteen 
minute vote. Finally, the rule provides for one motion to recommit 
with or without instructions. Testimony was heard from 
Representatives Fletcher, Clay and Andrews.
