immediately opposite the Speaker and those immediately to his left and

that is anticipated, the rule regarding the privilege of the floor must 
be strictly enforced. Children of Members will not be permitted on the 
floor. The cooperation of all Members is requested.
  The practice of purporting to reserve seats prior to the joint 
session by placement of placards or personal items will not be allowed. 
Chamber Security may remove these items from the seats. Members may 
reserve their seats only by physical presence following the security 
sweep of the Chamber.
