  The SPEAKER pro tempore. After consultation among the Speaker and the

Houses meet tonight in joint session to hear an address by the 
President of the United States, only the doors immediately opposite the 
Speaker and those immediately to her left and right will be open.
  No one will be allowed in the Hall of the House except for Members of 
Congress, other invitees, and credentialed staff members. All Members, 
invitees, and staff are required to follow the COVID protocols stated

assigned seat or gallery, and the Sergeant at Arms will assist Members 
in finding their seats.
  All Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in still 
photography or audio or video recording in the Chamber. Taking 
unofficial photographs detracts from the dignity of the proceedings and 
presents security and privacy challenges for the House.
