    Mr. Dreier, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

    Pursuant to the provisions of Rule XI, clause 1(d) of the 
Rules of the House of Representatives, the Committee on Rules 
submits the following report on its activities during the 106th 
Congress.

    I. HISTORY, FUNCTION, AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMMITTEE ON RULES


                            A. Introduction

    In the 106th Congress, the Rules Committee retained its 
traditional structure and purpose in the House of 
Representatives. Its size and super-majority party ratio 
remained the same as in previous Congresses, under Republican 
and Democratic control of the institution, as did its central 
function as the scheduling arm of the majority leadership on 
major legislation.
    The Committee has been described by scholars and Members as 
a ``legislative traffic cop,'' ``gatekeeper,'' ``field 
commander,'' the ``Speaker's Committee,'' and the ``dress 
rehearsal'' for the House floor. All of these terms underscore 
the critical role the Committee plays in the conduct of 
legislative business on the House floor. While the primary 
responsibility of the Committee remains one of setting the 
terms for debate and amendments on major legislative measures 
reported from other committees, the Rules Committee also 
exercises ``original jurisdiction'' over changes in House Rules 
and the budget process.
    Although the principal purpose of this report is to 
summarize the activities of the Rules Committee in the 106th 
Congress, its secondary purpose is to view these activities in 
the context of the evolution of the Committee and the House of 
Representatives since the First Congress.

                        B. History and Function

    The history of the Rules Committee roughly parallels the 
evolution of the House over the past 212 years. The first Rules 
Committee was established as a select committee of the House on 
the second day of the First Congress, April 2, 1789, pursuant 
to the Constitutional mandate in Article I, section 5, clause 
2, that ``Each House may determine the rules of its proceedings 
* * *'' The House order creating the Committee stated ``that a 
committee be appointed to prepare and report such standing 
rules and order of proceeding as may be proper to be observed 
in this House * * *'' The Select Committee on Rules initially 
reported back a set of four rules five days after its 
appointment on: (1) the duties of the Speaker, (2) decorum and 
debate, (3) the disposition of bills, and (4) the operations of 
the Committee of the Whole. Six days later, on April 13th, the 
Select Committee reported an additional eight rules dealing 
with such matters as: the service of Members on committees, 
Members' attendance during floor proceedings, the creation of a 
standing Committee on Elections, the duties of the Clerk, and 
the duties of the Sergeant-at-Arms. With the adoption by the 
House of these rules, the Select Committee was dissolved.
    During the first 90 years of the House, the Rules Committee 
remained a select committee. The Committee would report any 
recommended revisions in the standing rules of the House from 
those of the previous Congress at the beginning of a Congress, 
and then dissolved for the remainder of the Congress. In some 
Congresses, the House did not appoint a Select Committee on 
Rules, and simply operated under the rules of the preceding 
Congress.
    Although in its early years the House relied primarily on 
select committees to draft legislation, by the mid-nineteenth 
century this system had evolved into 34 standing committees. 
The Rules Committee was also converted briefly into a standing 
committee between 1849 and 1853, but it was not until 1880 that 
the Committee was established as a permanent standing committee 
of the House. In 1858, the Speaker became a Member of the 
Select Committee on Rules, and a year later was designated as 
its chairman. The Speaker retained the chairmanship when the 
Committee became a standing committee in 1880. In 1883, the 
modern-day Rules Committee began to emerge when the House 
upheld the right of the Committee to issue ``special orders'' 
or ``rules'' providing for the consideration of legislation 
from other committees. By 1890, this new role was an accepted 
practice as the exclusive prerogative of the Rules Committee.
    These special rules, which were simple House resolutions 
reported from the Rules Committee, were important because they 
only required a majority vote of the House to provide for the 
consideration of bills out of the order in which they appeared 
on their Calendar, whereas previously, a two-thirds vote was 
required to suspend the rules and consider a bill out of order.
    The individual most responsible for recognizing and 
exploiting the full potential of the combined powers of Speaker 
and Rules Committee chairman was Representative Thomas Brackett 
Reed of Maine who served in those two roles in 1889-91, and 
1895-99. Not only did he use his authority as Speaker to make 
rulings from the Chair that outlawed certain dilatory and 
obstructionist floor tactics, but he also proceeded to codify 
these rulings, known as ``Reed's Rules,'' in the standing rules 
of the House in his capacity as Rules Committee chairman. Reed 
also made regular use of the Rules Committee to report special 
rules that enabled him to put bills he wanted considered on the 
floor when he wished, and under his terms of debate and 
amendment.
    It was not until 1910 that this power combination was 
broken up by a revolt against the conservative and autocratic 
Speaker Joseph Cannon of Illinois, who had served as Speaker 
and Rules Committee Chairman since 1903. A group of progressive 
Republican insurgents joined with the Democratic minority in an 
attempt to directly amend House Rules from the floor. When 
Speaker Cannon upheld a point of order that only the Rules 
Committee could recommend changes in House Rules, the group 
voted to overturn the ruling. They amended the rules of the 
House, stripping the Speaker of his chairmanship and membership 
on the Rules Committee, as well as his power to appoint Members 
to the Committee. They also voted to enlarge the Committee from 
5 to 10 Members, elected by the House. The following year, the 
new Democratic majority in the House completed the revolution 
by taking away the Speaker's power to appoint Members to all 
the other committees of the House. Since then, all Members of 
standing committees have been elected by the House.
    This revolt had far-reaching and long-lasting consequences. 
The standing committees became independent power centers, no 
longer directly accountable to the Speaker. While the Rules 
Committee continued to serve as the scheduling arm of the 
Leadership, it developed an independent streak when reaction 
set in against the New Deal in 1937. From that time until 1961, 
the Committee was dominated by a conservative coalition of 
Southern Democrats and Republicans who would sometimes refuse 
to report rules on bills the majority leadership wanted on the 
floor, or would only report such rules under their terms and 
timing. A successful effort by Speaker Sam Rayburn of Texas and 
President John F. Kennedy in 1961 to enlarge the Committee from 
12 to 15 Members, including two more liberal Democrats, did not 
resolve this problem. It was not until the mid-seventies, with 
a large influx of new Democrats, that the Rules Committee was 
fully restored as an arm of the majority leadership.
    The reform revolt of the mid-seventies also produced 
further decentralization in the House with the emergence of 
more independent Members and the proliferation of semi-
autonomous subcommittees. This decentralization soon led to 
pressures to give the majority leadership, particularly the 
Speaker, acting through the Rules Committee, more authority to 
pull things back together. In 1975, the Democratic Speaker was 
given authority under Caucus rules to appoint all Rules 
Committee Democrats, subject to Caucus ratification. In 1989, 
the Republican Conference gave the minority leader the same 
authority to appoint all Rules Committee Republicans. In the 
106th Congress, the Speaker appointed all of the Republican 
Members of the Committee and the Minority Leader appointed all 
of the Democratic Members of the Committee. Overall, the Rules 
Committee continued its role of facilitating the deliberation 
and amendment of major legislation in the House.

          C. Committee Organization During the 106th Congress

    At the beginning of the 94th Congress, the Committee 
membership was increased from fifteen Members (ten Democrats 
and five Republicans) to sixteen Members (eleven Democrats and 
five Republicans). This ratio was retained until the 98th 
Congress, when the membership was reduced to thirteen Members, 
nine Democrats and four Republicans. The membership has 
remained at thirteen, through the 106th Congress. The ratio of 
majority party Members to minority party Members also has 
remained the same. However, in the 104th, 105th and 106th 
Congresses, Republicans were in the majority and Democrats were 
in the minority.
    Eleven Members of the Rules Committee in the 106th Congress 
served on the Committee during the previous Congress. The 
returning Republican Representatives were David Dreier of 
California, Porter Goss of Florida, John Linder of Georgia, 
Deborah Pryce of Ohio, Lincoln Diaz-Balart of Florida, Doc 
Hastings of Washington and Sue Myrick of North Carolina. The 
returning Democratic Representatives were John Joseph Moakley 
of Massachusetts, Martin Frost of Texas, Tony P. Hall of Ohio, 
and Louise McIntosh Slaughter of New York. The new Republican 
Representatives on the Committee were Pete Sessions of Texas 
and Thomas Reynolds of New York. There were no new Democratic 
Representatives on the Committee.
    The Committee held its organizational meeting on January 6, 
1999. Chairman David Dreier of California opened the meeting 
and introduced the new Republican Members of the Rules 
Committee, Representatives Sessions and Reynolds.
    Mr. Goss offered a motion that the Rules Committee adopt 
the proposed Committee rules for the 106th Congress.
    Chairman Dreier explained that passage of the landmark 
recodification of the rules of the House earlier that day on 
the House floor required that the Committee rules be modified 
to reflect various semantic conventions and rule references. 
Specifically, the proposal called for the adoption of the 
Committee's rules of the 105th Congress with 11 discrete 
citation modifications. These changes were minor and 
noncontroversial.
    Mr. Goss's motion to adopt the Committee rules was agreed 
to by a voice vote.
    Chairman Dreier then designated, pursuant to the rules of 
the House, Porter Goss as the Vice Chairman of the Rules 
Committee.
    Mr. Goss offered a motion that pursuant to Rule 5(c), the 
Subcommittee on Rules and Organization of the House and the 
Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget Process, would each be 
composed of five majority and two minority Members, identical 
to the ratio used in recent Congresses. Mr. Goss's motion was 
adopted by a voice vote.
    Chairman Dreier subsequently appointed Mr. Linder as 
Chairman of the Subcommittee on Rules and Organization of the 
House, and Mr. Goss to chair the Subcommittee on Legislative 
and Budget Process. Chairman Dreier then appointed the majority 
and minority Members of the two subcommittees as follows.
    Subcommittee on Rules and Organization of the House: Mr. 
Linder (Chairman), Mr. Diaz-Balart (Vice Chairman), Mr. 
Sessions, Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Dreier, Mr. Hall, and Mrs. 
Slaughter.
    Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget Process: Mr. Goss 
(Chairman), Ms. Pryce (Vice Chairman), Mr. Hastings, Mrs. 
Myrick, Mr. Dreier, Mr. Frost, and Mr. Moakley.
    At a subsequent meeting on February 9, 1999, the Rules 
Committee adopted the Committee budget and authorized Chairman 
Dreier to introduce a funding resolution. At this meeting the 
Committee also adopted its oversight plan for the 106th 
Congress.

                 D. The Rules Committee on the Internet

    The Rules Committee's Internet web site (www.house.gov/
rules) has followed up its success from the 105th Congress with 
a constant expansion of the web site through the 106th 
Congress. With these expansions the Committee's web site has 
become one of the most useful resources for legislative 
information on Capitol Hill. Although proposed legislation 
sometimes comes to the Committee at a moment's notice, the 
Committee schedule link is updated within minutes of schedule 
announcements, additions, changes, or postponements.
    The web site now offers a plethora of information on the 
operations of Congress and on the daily activities of the Rules 
Committee. The web site can be used to access the rules of the 
House, the rules of the Senate, Brown's Practice Manual, 
Deschler's Precedents, CRS reports and detailed information on 
the budget process, and House and Senate committee and floor 
procedures. The web site also provides immediate access to the 
Committee schedule, all special rules reported (including the 
text of amendments made in order), Committee announcements, the 
Committee's rules and jurisdiction, all original jurisdiction 
hearings, news releases, and the activities of the Committee's 
two subcommittees. Furthermore, the web site also provides 
access to the Committee's history, membership, publications, 
the opening day rules package of the 106th Congress, and the 
reports of the 1993 Joint Committee on the Organization of 
Congress. One can also access the class schedules, class 
outlines and background information of the Rules Committee's 
Parliamentary Outreach Program.
    The Rules Committee web site has also become more user 
friendly and contains much more pertinent information than it 
did in the 105th Congress. In the age of technology, the 
Committee has focused on reaching out to a variety of users, 
including Congressional and Federal Government staff, 
educators, students, lobbyists and the public. For instance, 
the web site offers educators, students and the public a 
variety of information explaining House floor and Committee 
procedures, as well as terms and definitions to help them 
understand them. However, the most useful advancement made in 
the 106th Congress has been the addition of posting filed 
Conference Report language even before it is printed by the 
Government Printing Office. This allows Capitol Hill staff, 
Federal agency workers, and the public timely access to crucial 
legislative information.
    The Rules Committee has seen astronomical increases in the 
use of its web site in the 106th Congress, including just under 
1.7 million requests during October, 2000. The ratio of 
requests between when the House is in session to when it is not 
is over 10:1 respectively, proving that the Rules Committee web 
site is one of the most useful tools in Congress for 
legislative information.
    In May of 1999, the Rules Committee received recognition 
for its efforts by winning an award for the best Congressional 
Committee web site. James A. Thurber, Director of American 
University's Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies, 
who conducted the survey, described the Rules Committee site as 
``the best overall Congressional Committee site. It is a great 
site for high school and college courses on Congress.''

and take such actions as may be necessary to carry out these 
rules or to facilitate the effective operation of the Committee 
and its subcommittees in a manner consistent with these rules.

                 Rule 9--Amendments to Committee Rules

    The rules of the Committee may be modified, amended or 
repealed, in the same manner and method as prescribed for the 
adoption of committee rules in clause 2 of rule XI of the Rules 
of the House, but only if written notice of the proposed change 
has been provided to each such Member at least 48 hours before 
the time of the meeting at which the vote on the change occurs. 
Any such change in the rules of the Committee shall be 
published in the Congressional Record within 30 calendar days 
after their approval.

 II. HOUSE RULES CHANGES ADOPTED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 106TH CONGRESS


                            A. Introduction

    The majority of the changes provided for in the opening day 
rules package (H. Res. 5) were developed by a bipartisan task 
force of the House Rules Committee during the 105th Congress. 
Working for two years with the non-partisan Office of the 
Parliamentarian, the task force developed a more rational and 
orderly set of House rules, and their recommendations were 
fully embedded in the resolution.
    The House had not undertaken a comprehensive revision of 
its rules since 1880. Many of the previous rules were obsolete, 
confusing, misleading, incomplete and poorly organized. Some of 
the rules had been understood and applied inconsistently due to 
the awkward way in which they were drafted. The result was that 
the legislative process and the activities of the House 
frequently proved difficult to learn and understand, much less 
master.
    Specifically, the rules were condensed from 51 to 28. 
Obsolete and archaic provisions were removed, but the most 
important citations were retained for purposes of consistency 
with precedent and practice. These significant bipartisan 
institutional reforms were intended to make it easier for 
Members to do their work, and for the average American to 
understand and appreciate the legislative process.
    In addition to the recodification portion of H. Res. 5, the 
resolution made a number of technical changes to the standing 
rules of the House, and those were contained in Section 1 of 
the resolution. Section 2 of the resolution consisted of 
Separate Orders which did not change any of the standing rules 
of the House. Those are more or less housekeeping provisions 
which deemed certain actions or waived or clarified the 
application of certain rules of the House. Finally, Section 3 
made it in order to separately consider a resolution introduced 
by the Majority Leader or his designee amending clause 5 of 
rule XXVI to conform the House gift rule to the Senate gift 
rule.

  B. Summary of Substantive Changes Contained in H. Res. 5, Adopting 
                   House Rules for the 106th Congress

     Redesignation of Committee on Government Reform 
and Oversight. The Committee on Government Reform and Oversight 
was redesignated as the Committee on Government Reform in each 
place it appears in the rules.
     Redesignation of Committee on House Oversight. The 
Committee on House Oversight was redesignated as the Committee 
on House Administration in each place it appears in the rules.
     Redesignation of Committee on National Security. 
The Committee on National Security was redesignated as the 
Committee on Armed Services in each place it appears in the 
rules.
     Office of the Historian. Clarified that the 
Speaker appoints and sets the annual rate of pay for employees 
of the Office of the Historian. [Rule II, clause 7]
     Notice of form of question of privilege. The 
requirement that the full text of a resolution proposing a 
question of the privilege of the House be read could be 
dispensed with by unanimous consent at the point of its initial 
announcement to the House. [Rule IX, clause 2(a)(1)]
     Budget Process. These provisions were necessary to 
conform certain rules of the House with the amendments made to 
the Budget Act by the Balanced Budget Enforcement Act of 1997. 
These changes relate to the oversight requirements of the 
Budget Committee, the consideration of bills providing new 
entitlement authority, and the submission of views and 
estimates on the President's budget. [Rule X: clause 1(b)(4); 
clause 2(b)(1); clause 4(f); clause 4(g)]
     Committee oversight plans. The prohibition against 
the consideration of any committee expense resolution when a 
committee has not adopted and submitted its oversight plans to 
the Committee on House Administration and the Committee on 
Government Reform by February 15 of the first session of the 
Congress was repealed. [Rule X, clause 2(d)(2)]
     Service on the Committee on Standards of Official 
Conduct. The House rule requiring four Members to rotate off 
the Standards Committee every Congress was eliminated. The 
House rule prohibiting Members from serving more than two 
Congresses in any period of three successive Congresses on the 
Standards Committee was amended to prohibit Members from 
serving more than three Congresses in any period of five 
successive Congresses. [Rule X, clause 5]
     Oversight Subcommittees. The restriction on 
committees maintaining more than five subcommittees was 
maintained in the rule, while committees that maintain a 
subcommittee on oversight were restricted to not more than six 
subcommittees. [Rule X, clause 5(d)]
     Exceptions to five-minute rule in hearings. The 
rule, adopted at the beginning of the 105th Congress, to permit 
committees to adopt a rule or motion to extend questioning for 
selected majority and minority Members and to permit the 
questioning of witnesses by staff was clarified to address 
ambiguities in the rule. [Rule XI, clause 2(j)]
     Subpoenas. The House rule granting committees 
authority to issue subpoenas was clarified to state the common 
practice that a subpoena may specify the terms of return other 
than at a meeting or hearing of a committee or subcommittee. 
[Rule XI, clause 2(m)]
     Abolishment of pairs other than ``live pairs.'' 
The practice of pairing, which involves absent Members 
arranging with other absent Members on opposite sides of a 
specified question the ability to stipulate how they would have 
voted, was repealed. However, ``live pairs,'' which involve an 
agreement between one Member who is present and voting and 
another on the opposite side of the question, who is absent, 
was permitted. [Rule XX, clause 8]
     Postponement of vote on original motion to 
instruct conferees. The Speaker's current authority to postpone 
votes was extended to any vote on an original motion to 
instruct conferees. [Rule XX, clause 8]
     Five-minute voting. The Speaker's authority to 
reduce to five minutes the voting time on postponed votes was 
extended to all postponed questions, and on questions 
incidental thereto, so long as the first vote on a question in 
a series of questions is not less than 15 minutes. [Rule XX, 
clause 10]
     Elimination of Specific Road Point of Order. The 
obsolete point of order against consideration of a general 
roads bill containing provisions relating to specific roads was 
deleted. [Rule XXI, clause 3]
     Technical amendments. The requirement that a House 
employee must perform duties commensurate with the compensation 
received `in the offices of the employing authority' was 
modified to conform with other statutory changes which permit 
telecommuting by federal employees. [Rule XXIV, clause 8(a)] To 
conform with administrative changes put in place at the 
beginning of the 104th Congress, `Chief Administrative Officer' 
was substituted for `Clerk' with respect to the entity 
responsible for dispersing the pay of officers and employees of 
the House. [Rule XXIV, clause 1]
     Consultants. Consultants were required to abide by 
the key provisions of House rule XXIV, the Code of Official 
Conduct, including the requirement that they conduct themselves 
in a manner that reflects creditably on the House, the 
conflict-of-interest provision, and the gift rule. [Rule XXIV, 
clause 14(b)]
     Honoraria. Certain lower-level House employees 
were permitted to receive honoraria (i.e., compensation for an 
article, speech, or appearance) for activities not related to 
official duties. [Rule XXVI, clause 2]
     Budget Enforcement. This provision authorized the 
chairman of the Committee on the Budget to publish budget 
allocations contemplated by section 302(a) of the Congressional 
Budget Act in the Congressional Record pending the adoption by 
the Congress of a concurrent resolution on the budget for 
fiscal year 1999. Once published, those budget levels were 
effective in the House as though established by passage of a 
concurrent resolution on the budget. This provision also 
clarified the application of section 315 of the Congressional 
Budget Act with respect to points of order raised under section 
303 of the Budget Act (relating to consideration of spending or 
revenue measures prior to the adoption of a concurrent 
resolution on the budget.)
     Tenure on the Budget Committee. Clause 5(a)(2) of 
House rule X prohibits Members from serving on the Budget 
Committee for more than 4 Congresses (8 years) in any period of 
six successive Congresses (12 years). The applicability of this 
rule was waived for the duration of the 106th Congress.
     Standards Committee rules. The free-standing 
directives of H. Res. 168 of the 105th Congress (sections 3, 4, 
5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, and 21) regarding 
ethics reform were carried forward in the 106th Congress.
     Census Subcommittee. Clause 5(d) of House rule X 
restricts House committees from establishing more than 5 
subcommittees, with an exception for the Committee on 
Government Reform, which is permitted to have seven. For the 
purpose of effective oversight of the census, this provision 
was waived for the Committee on Government Reform to have eight 
subcommittees in the 106th Congress.
     Explanatory Material Relating to Recodification of 
Rules. This provision gave the Majority Leader and the Minority 
Leader or their designees the ability to submit certain 
extraneous and tabular information in the Congressional Record 
for the purpose of legislative history relating to the 
recodification of the standing rules of the House.
     Continuance of Select Committee. This provision 
established in the 106th Congress a Select Committee on U.S. 
National Security and Military/Commercial Concerns With the 
People's Republic of China solely for the purpose of completing 
the declassification and public release of its report prepared 
by the Select Committee of the 105th Congress. [The Select 
Committee was established by the House agreeing to H. Res. 463 
on June 18, 1998 by a vote of 409-10.] The procedural 
authorities of the Select Committee contained in sections 8 and 
9 of H. Res. 463, relating to transfers of information and 
information gathering, were limited in the 106th Congress to 
enforcing requests for information issued before January 3, 
1999 and to issue and enforce requests directly related to the 
declassification and public release of the Select Committee's 
report. Also, the provisions of section 10 of H. Res. 463, 
relating to tax information, did not apply in the 106th 
Congress. Expenses of the Select Committee may be paid from 
applicable accounts of the House, which could not exceed those 
available as unexpended balances of the Select Committee from 
the 105th Congress. The Select Committee was to cease to exist 
on March 31, 1999.
     Numbering of Bills. The first ten numbers for 
bills (H.R. 1 through H.R. 10) were reserved for assignment by 
the Speaker when introduced on or before March 1, 1999.
     Special Order of Business. This provision provided 
that upon the adoption of H. Res. 5, it shall be in order to 
separately consider a resolution introduced by the Majority 
Leader or his designee, amending clause 5 of rule XXVI, the 
House gift rule. The resolution was debatable for one hour 
equally divided and controlled by the Majority Leader and the 
Minority Leader or their designees.

                     III. COMMITTEE OVERSIGHT PLAN

    Pursuant to clause 2(d)(1) of rule X, the Committee met in 
public session on February 9, 1999 to adopt, by voice vote, an 
ambitious oversight plan for the 106th Congress. Pursuant to 
clause 1(d) of rule XI, the Committee is required to include 
within this activity report a separate section summarizing that 
plan and the actions taken throughout the Congress to implement 
that plan, as well as any additional oversight activities that 
were conducted.
    In presenting its plan for this Congress, the Committee 
emphasized its interest in continuing to effectuate a more 
responsive, innovative, and flexible legislative process that 
enhances public participation as well as the ability of 
Congress to operate effectively in the modern information age. 
A primary focus of the Committee has been to improve the 
legislative process and the internal workings of the House to 
promote effectiveness, efficiency and public involvement. The 
Committee, in conjunction with the House Parliamentarian, 
completed a major review and recodification of House rules. 
This process resulted in a streamlined and simplified rules 
package that reduced the total number of rules from 51 to 28. 
On opening day of the 106th Congress, this new package was 
adopted by the House, including several modifications of the 
rules to continue the process of making the House work more 
smoothly. The fact that little substantive change was necessary 
in these modifications to the rules emphasizes the success in 
the process of modernization that has occurred over the last 
four years.
    In its oversight plan for the 106th Congress, the Committee 
stressed its intention to conduct oversight efforts in a broad 
range of areas, including ongoing review of the Rules of the 
House, efforts to reform the Congressional budget process, 
ensuring the suitability of House procedures governing 
compliance with the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, 
reviewing the existing rescissions process to examine its 
strengths and weaknesses in achieving the goals of fiscal 
discipline and accountability for spending, review of executive 
orders from an institutional perspective, fast track procedures 
for consideration of trade agreements, efforts by Congress to 
enhance its technical capabilities, enhancing bipartisan 
civility, monitoring the implementation of the Government 
Performance and Results Act, and monitoring the progress of the 
Select Committee on U.S. National Security and Military/
Commercial Concerns with the People's Republic of China in 
meeting its deadline.

               IV. COMMITTEE JURISDICTION AND ACTIVITIES


                            A. Introduction

    The jurisdictional mandate of the Committee on Rules is set 
forth in clause 1(m) of Rule X as follows:

    (m) Committee on Rules.
          (1) The rules and joint rules (other than rules or 
        joint rules relating to the Code of Official Conduct), 
        and order of business of the House.
          (2) Recesses and final adjournments of Congress.

    The special oversight function of the Committee is outlined 
in clause 3(i) of Rule X as follows:

          (i) The Committee on Rules shall review and study on 
        a continuing basis the congressional budget process, 
        and the committee shall report its findings and 
        recommendations to the House from time to time.

    The jurisdictional mandate of the Committee for the 
purposes of this survey of activities is broken down into two 
subcategories: original jurisdiction matters and special rules 
(order of business resolutions). In practice, these subgroups 
are intertwined in a manner that greatly affects the way in 
which the House conducts its business. Original jurisdiction 
matters include all measures pertaining to the rules of the 
House, the budget process and joint rules. These measures are 
either referred directly to the Committee by the Speaker or 
originate in the Committee itself. They not only pertain to 
changes in House procedure, but also cover the Committee's 
power to establish select committees, authorize certain 
investigations, provide enforcement procedures for the budget 
process, and to establish congressional procedures for 
considering certain executive branch proposals.
    The Committee held fourteen days of hearings and mark-ups 
on two matters of original jurisdiction during the 106th 
Congress. Both measures were reported to the House for 
consideration. Only one was adopted by the House.
    The other subgroup of the Committee's jurisdictional 
mandate, referred to as order of business resolutions or 
``special rules,'' is used by the Committee to direct the 
manner in which a bill or resolution will be considered by the 
House. ``Special rules,'' in the form of House resolutions, 
tailor the time allotted for debate and the process by which a 
bill can be amended. This is done to allow the House to 
consider the subject matter in a way which best suits the 
bill's individual issues and/or controversy. These ``rules'' 
may also contain waivers of specific House rules or provisions 
of the Congressional Budget Act. It is sometimes necessary to 
waive the rules of the House in order to allow the House to 
consider all the facets of the particular issue or to 
facilitate the House resolving its differences with the Senate. 
Special rules also allow the House to consider measures 
according to the majority leadership's legislative scheduling 
priorities rather than in the numerical order in which they 
were reported.
    During the 106th Congress, the Committee held 145 days of 
hearings pursuant to the 210 written requests received from 
Committee chairs seeking rules. In addition, there were four 
formal requests ultimately disposed of by procedures other than 
the Rules Committee (such as unanimous consent or suspension), 
and three formal requests were pending at the end of the 
Congress. These formal requests do not reflect additional 
requests of an emergency nature made in person by the chairs of 
the various legislative committees. The Committee granted 267 
rules: 184 rules provided for consideration of bills and 
resolutions, 46 dealt with conference reports and 26 other 
rules provided for consideration of measures but stopped short 
of the amending process (e.g., providing for debate only, 
creating suspension days for considering specific measures or 
waiving the two-thirds requirement to bring up a rule for a 
certain measure on the same day the rule is reported).
    The Committee granted 74 open rules, 3 modified open rules 
with a time cap on consideration of amendments, 13 modified 
open rules with required pre-printing in the Congressional 
Record, 3 modified open rules with both a time cap on 
consideration of amendments and required preprinting in the 
Congressional Record, 52 structured or modified closed rules, 
and 39 closed rules. The Committee granted 23 waivers of 
specific sections of the Budget Act. The Committee granted 153 
rules waiving all points of order to permit consideration of 
either the underlying measure, the matter made in order as the 
original text, motions, or against the amendments made in 
order.
    In summary, the Committee on Rules reported 267 rules (an 
almost 30% increase from the 105th Congress). Of these the 
House adopted 229, rejected none, and tabled 37. One rule 
remained pending on the House Calendar when Congress adjourned 
in December, 2000. In addition, the Committee on Rules reported 
2 original jurisdiction measures, one of which was ultimately 
adopted by the House; the other failed on passage in the House.
    In addition to the full Committee activities, the 
Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget Process and the 
Subcommittee on Rules and Organization of the House conducted 
studies concerning other matters in the Committee's 
jurisdiction.

                       B. Special Orders or Rules


                            1. Rule Requests

    The process of considering requests for special orders or 
``rules'' usually begins when the Committee on Rules receives a 
letter from a legislative committee chairman requesting that it 
hold a hearing and recommend a rule for that particular 
measure. The letter is signed by the full committee chairman 
and most often makes a specific request for the type of rule 
desired by the legislative committee. In some cases, the 
emergency nature of the legislation does not allow adequate 
time for a formal request to be registered. In these cases, the 
requests are made in person by the chairman of the committee 
with jurisdiction. Once a hearing has been scheduled, the 
Committee on Rules allows any House Member who has an interest 
in testifying to do so. Under normal circumstances and pursuant 
to Committee rules, printed copies of the legislation and 
accompanying committee report or conference report are provided 
to the Committee Members at least 24 hours in advance of the 
meeting on the rule request for the legislation.
    The Committee gives written notice to its Members and 
notifies the pertinent committee of the scheduled hearing date 
at least 48 hours prior to the commencement of the hearing, 
unless an emergency situation exists. If Budget Act violations 
are present, the Budget Committee chairman often advises the 
Committee on Rules whether the Budget Committee objects to or 
supports the granting of specific waivers. The position of the 
Budget Committee on these matters is merely advisory in nature; 
the Committee on Rules has sole jurisdiction over waivers of 
the Budget Act, subject to House approval of the special rule 
containing such waivers.

                              2. Hearings

    The Rules Committee chairman controls the order in which 
witnesses appear and also initiates the questioning. Typically, 
the chairman of the committee of jurisdiction or a designee 
requesting the rule makes a short statement. The chairman is 
followed by the ranking minority member. Sometimes the 
subcommittee chair and ranking minority member appear on behalf 
of their full committee counterparts on the rule request. It is 
often the case that Members wishing to testify in favor of or 
in opposition to a bill, amendment, or type of procedure may do 
so as part of a panel of witnesses.
    In many cases, the components of the proposed special order 
form the basis for the dialogue between substantive committee 
leaders asking for the rule and the Rules Committee Members. 
More often than not, the questioning escalates into discussions 
about the merits of the bill itself. If the legislation is 
particularly wide-ranging or controversial, Representatives who 
do not sit on the relevant legislative committee seek to 
testify. (Except in the most unusual circumstances, only House 
Members are allowed to testify during a rule request hearing.) 
Questioning of each witness takes place under the five-minute 
rule until each Committee Member has had an opportunity to 
question each witness. Questioning is rather informal. The 
Chairman rarely enforces the five-minute rule, and Committee 
Members yield to one another to allow their colleagues to make 
a specific point or follow up on a line of questioning.
    A quorum, at least seven Members of the thirteen, must be 
present before a recommendation on a rule can be ordered 
reported, postponed, or tabled (killed).
    After the Committee votes to approve a rule, the chairman 
and ranking minority member each assign one of their Members to 
manage the rule on the floor. The majority manager's name 
appears on the rule and report, and that Member usually files 
the rule from the House floor, at which time the resolution and 
report are assigned a number.
    Any Member may ask for a record or a division vote. In the 
past, most decisions of the Committee were made by voice vote, 
but in the last several Congresses there has been an increase 
in the number of record votes demanded. For the entire 100th 
Congress there were 18 roll call votes demanded; in the 101st 
Congress there were 26; in the 102nd there were 193; in the 
103rd there were 533; in the 104th there were 327; in the 105th 
there were 104; and in the 106th there were 119.
    Once a special rule has been reported, the Majority 
Leader--working closely with the Speaker, the Rules Committee 
chairman, and the substantive committee chairman--decides upon 
an appropriate date and time for the consideration of the rule 
on the floor. Rules can be considered one the same day they are 
reported, if the House agrees to consideration of the rule by a 
two-thirds vote. After a one-day layover, rules may be 
considered at any time without being subject to a question of 
consideration. The Committee may occasionally report a rule 
waiving this requirement with respect to another rule.

                  3. Types of Special Orders or Rules

a. Background

    Table 1 in the Appendix categorizes all special rules 
granted by the Committee. These special rules are broken down 
into seventeen different categories dealing with all stages of 
the legislative process in the House.
    During the 106th Congress, the Rules Committee granted 
special rules that provided for specified amendment and debate 
structures, that assisted floor managers in managing the 
schedule and consideration of legislation, that resolved 
differences among and responded to the legislative actions of 
committees, and that addressed House-Senate relations. The 
explanations of these types of special rules and their methods 
of categorization are outlined below.

b. Categories of rules granted with amendment structures

    In categorizing special rules which specified an amendment 
structure, this report focuses only on those rules which 
provided for the initial consideration of bills, joint 
resolutions or budget resolutions and which provided for an 
amending process. Therefore, rules providing for general debate 
only, stopping short of consideration of the measure for 
amendment, or providing for consideration of a conference 
report (which are otherwise privileged and, under regular 
order, non-amendable) are not included in these categories. The 
amendment structure categories are as follows: (1) open rules, 
(2) modified open rules--a time cap on consideration of 
amendments, (3) modified open rules--required amendment pre-
printing in the Congressional Record, (4) modified open rules--
both a time cap on consideration of amendments and required 
preprinting in the Congressional Record, (5) structured or 
modified closed rules, and (6) closed rules.
    (1) Open Rules: Under an open rule, any Member may offer an 
amendment that complies with the standing rules of the House 
and the Budget Act. Also included in the category of open rules 
are those special rules that are often referred to as ``open 
plus.'' These rules allow the offering of any amendment 
normally in order under an open rule plus the consideration of 
any amendments for which waivers of points of order have been 
granted by the special rule.
    (2) Modified Open Rules (time cap on consideration of 
amendments): This type of rule permits any amendment in order 
under an open rule, subject only to an overall time limit on 
the amendment process. It allows the House to manage its time, 
to make its schedule more reliable, and to provide greater 
certainty regarding when measures will be on and off the floor. 
Moreover, it allows the majority and minority parties to offer 
priority amendments of their choosing rather than having the 
Rules Committee designate what amendments can or cannot be 
offered.
    (3) Modified Open Rules (required amendment preprinting in 
the Congressional Record): This type of rule permits the 
offering of only those amendments preprinted in the 
Congressional Record. In some cases the rule requires 
amendments to be printed by a specific date; in some cases the 
amendment must be printed before its consideration; and in 
other cases before the consideration of the bill for any 
amendment. In most cases these rules do not prohibit second 
degree amendments. The preprinting requirement does not afford 
the same time certainty as an overall time cap on the amendment 
process because there is no way to know in advance how many 
amendments will be submitted and printed, how many printed 
amendments will actually be offered, how many second degree 
amendments will be offered to printed amendments or how many 
record votes on amendments will be called. However, requiring 
that amendments be printed in advance of their consideration 
affords Members a better idea of the range of issues to be 
debated and voted on during consideration of the bill. This can 
particularly be true of bills or joint resolutions involving 
complex or confidential matters.
    (4) Modified Open Rules (both a time cap on consideration 
of amendments and required preprinting in the Congressional 
Record): This type of rule combines the features of the two 
types of modified open rules listed above along with the 
advantages and disadvantages associated with each of them.
    (5) Structured or Modified Closed Rules: Under a structured 
or modified closed rule, the Rules Committee limits the 
amendments that may be offered to only those amendments 
designated in the special rule or in the Rules Committee report 
to accompany the rule, or which precludes amendments to a 
particular portion of a bill, even though the rest of the bill 
may be completely open to amendment. A modified closed rule is 
one which allows the offering of only one or two amendments. A 
structured rule is one which allows three or more amendments. 
In the case of a structured or modified closed rule, the 
Chairman will announce through a one minute speech on the floor 
of the House and through a ``Dear Colleague'' letter the 
intention of the Committee to hold a hearing on a measure and 
to review all amendments. The Chairman requests that Members 
provide the Rules Committee with copies of their proposed 
amendments in advance of the Committee meeting date. In some 
instances, the amendments made in order represent all of the 
amendments submitted to the Committee.
    (6) Closed Rules: This type of rule is one under which no 
amendments may be offered other than amendments recommended by 
the committee reporting the bill. However, the Rules Committee 
is prohibited under the rules of the House from reporting a 
special rule providing for consideration of a bill or joint 
resolution that denies the minority the right to offer 
amendatory instructions in a motion to recommit if offered by 
the minority leader or a designee.

c. Categories of rules granted with certain floor management tools

    During the 106th Congress, special rules were often 
utilized to assist the Majority Leader in setting the Floor 
schedule of the House, as well as to equip committee chairman 
and ranking minority members with the special procedural tools 
necessary to efficiently manage the floor consideration of a 
bill. These categories include (1) expedited procedure rules, 
(2) suspension day rules, and (3) chairman's en bloc authority 
rules.
    (1) Expedited Procedure Rules: This type of rule waives 
clause 6(a) of rule XIII (requiring a two-thirds vote to 
consider a special rule on the same day it is reported from the 
Rules Committee) against certain resolutions reported from the 
Rules Committee. These rules generally specify the resolutions 
to which the waiver applies, as well as a defined time period 
for its application.
    (2) Suspension Day Rules: Under House Rule XXVII, it is in 
order on Monday and Tuesday of each week, and during the last 
six days of a session, for the Speaker to entertain motions to 
suspend the rules and pass legislation. This category of rule 
authorizes the Speaker to entertain motions to suspend the 
rules on days other than Mondays and Tuesdays. Generally, these 
rules provide that the object of any motion to suspend the 
rules be announced (sometimes with an hour or two notice) from 
the floor prior to its consideration and that the Speaker or 
his designee shall consult with the Minority Leader or his 
designee on the object of any suspension considered under the 
rule.
    (3) Chairman's En Bloc Authority Rules: This category of 
rule authorizes the chairman of a committee (usually the 
majority floor manager of the bill under consideration) or his 
designee to offer amendments en bloc consisting of amendments 
made in order by the special rule which have not earlier been 
disposed of, as well as germane modifications to any such 
amendments. With the exception of rules on appropriations bills 
(which permit en bloc amendments that do not increase budget 
authority or outlays in the bill), a Member seeking to offer 
amendments en bloc must obtain unanimous consent if they amend 
portions of the bill not yet open to amendment, unless a 
special rule authorizes several amendments to be offered and 
considered as a group. There is usually a specified time for 
divided debate on the amendment and a prohibition on amendments 
to and demands for a division of the question on the en bloc 
amendment. Generally, the original sponsor of the amendment 
must agree to having the amendment considered en bloc, and 
these rules generally provide that the original proponent of an 
amendment included in such an en bloc amendment may insert a 
statement in the Congressional Record immediately before the 
disposition of the en bloc amendment. Such a rule enables the 
floor manager to maximize efficiency and consensus while 
minimizing duplicative floor time and consideration.

d. Categories of rules granted to resolve differences among and 
        responding to the legislative actions of committees

    As the nexus of the legislative process in the House, the 
Rules Committee is often the institutional mechanism used to 
reconcile differences in legislative recommendations among 
multiple committees. Two often used, and often misunderstood, 
special rule features utilized to achieve these goals are (1) 
self-executing rules and (2) original text rules.
    (1) Self Executing Rules: This type of rule provides that, 
upon the adoption of the special rule, the text of a reported 
or introduced bill, as the case may be, is modified or amended 
in some specified manner. Therefore, the House's adoption of 
the rule itself has the effect of amending the underlying bill. 
Occasionally, a self-executing rule may also provide for the 
adoption of other unrelated measures or actions, such as 
adopting another simple resolution, bill, joint resolution or 
conference report. Self-executing rules may be utilized by the 
Rules Committee for a variety of reasons, including but not 
limited to: the correction of rule or Budget Act violations, 
the reconciling of multiple committee legislative 
recommendations, the elimination of procedural votes, the 
separation of policy issues or the complete redrafting of the 
legislation.
    (2) Original Text Rules: When a committee reports a 
measure, it will often favorably report the measure with a 
recommendation that an amendment or amendments be adopted by 
the full House. These amendments reflect the collegial action 
of the committee on that measure. This type of rule generally 
provides that the committee recommended amendment be adopted by 
the House and become the base text for the purpose of further 
amendment to the bill. This is often done to acknowledge the 
actions of the committee at the beginning of the consideration 
of a bill, and also to simplify the amendment process.

e. Categories of rules granted dealing with House-Senate relations

    While resolving differences with the Senate often involves 
privileged motions in the House, the Rules Committee is often 
called upon to expedite such procedural situations or to 
address unique procedural circumstances. The categories of such 
special rules are (1) Senate hook-up rules, (2) motion to go to 
conference rules, (3) disposition of Senate amendments rules, 
(4) conference report rules, and (5) engrossment of multiple 
measures rules.
    (1) Senate Hook-up Rules: The rules of the House provide 
for three methods of getting to conference with the Senate: (1) 
agreeing to a motion to go to conference by unanimous consent; 
(2) obtaining a special rule from the Rules Committee; or (3) 
receiving specific authorization from each committee which 
received an initial referral of and reported the bill (clause 1 
of Rule XX). Most often chairmen obtain conference authority 
from their committee at the time a bill is ordered reported. 
Most special rules allowing for a Senate hook-up provide that 
after passage of a House bill, it shall be in order to take a 
specific Senate bill from the Speaker's table, consider it in 
the House, and to move to strike all after the enacting clause 
and insert the text of the House bill as passed by the House. 
These special rules further provide that if the motion is 
adopted and the Senate bill, as amended, is passed, then it 
shall be in order to move that the House insist on its 
amendment and request a conference with the Senate. These hook-
up provisions can either be included in the original rule 
providing for consideration of the House bill or in a separate 
special rule only providing for the motion to go to conference.
    (2) Motion to go to Conference Rules: These special rules 
are those separate rules which only provide for the motion to 
go to conference with the Senate.
    (3) Disposition of Senate Amendment Rules: This type of 
rule generally provides for the consideration of a Senate 
amendment or amendments in the House and for a motion to concur 
in the Senate amendment with or without an amendment. These 
rules also usually specify a period of time for debate on the 
motion equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the committee of jurisdiction, as 
well as any necessary waivers against consideration of either 
the Senate amendment or against the motion to concur.
    (4) Conference Report Rules: Under the standing rules of 
the House, conference reports are privileged matters. Unless 
the requirement is waived, House rules require that a 
conference report be available for at least three calendar days 
(excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) before it 
can be called up for consideration. After that time, because it 
is privileged, it can be called up at any time without a rule 
from the Rules Committee. However, if a conference report is in 
violation of a rule of the House or some extraordinary 
procedure for consideration of the report is desired, a special 
rule may be necessary for the conference report to be 
considered. Consequently, conference report rules generally 
provide waivers of all points of order against consideration of 
the conference report and provide that the conference report be 
considered as read, which effectively waives the three day 
availability requirement.
    It should be noted that points of order against a 
conference report lie against its consideration, not against 
individual provisions contained within the report. A conference 
report represents the collective agreement of the House and the 
Senate. Changing individual components of the agreement 
violates the sanctity of the agreement itself. Consequently, 
agreeing to a conference report is an all-or-nothing question. 
This is also the reason why, even as privileged matters, 
conference reports are not amendable on the floor of the House.
    (5) Engrossment of Multiple Measures Rules: These type of 
special rules generally provide for separate consideration and 
final passage votes on multiple bills, generally relating to a 
similar issue. The rule then instructs the House enrolling 
clerk to enroll the individually-passed bills into one bill 
before transmitting them to the Senate for consideration.

                4. Floor Consideration of a Special Rule

    When the time comes to call up a special rule, the majority 
Member who filed the rule (a privileged House resolution), or 
another majority Member of the Rules Committee designated by 
the chairman, is recognized by the Speaker. That Member stands 
at the majority committee table on the House Floor. Once 
recognized, the Member states:

          Mr. Speaker, by direction of the Committee on Rules, 
        I call up House Resolution ________, and ask for its 
        immediate consideration.

(Any Member of the Committee on Rules may be recognized to call 
up a rule that has been on the House Calendar for at least 
seven legislative days, and the Speaker is required to 
recognize the Rules Committee Member as a privileged item, so 
long as the Member has given one day's notice of an intent to 
seek recognition for that purpose.)
    Once the Clerk has read the resolution, the Speaker 
recognizes the majority Rules Committee Member handling the 
rule for one hour. The majority floor manager then customarily 
yields thirty minutes to a minority counterpart for the 
purposes of debate only. The length of debate on the rule 
varies according to the complexity of the rule and the degree 
of controversy over the bill, but debate on most 
noncontroversial rules is over within fifteen or twenty minutes 
and the rule may be adopted by voice vote.
    Since a rule is considered in the House under the hour 
rule, no amendments are in order unless the majority floor 
manager offers an amendment or yields to another Member for 
that purpose. At the conclusion of debate on the rule, the 
floor manager moves the previous question. If no objection is 
heard, the House proceeds to vote on the rule. If objection is 
heard, a vote occurs on the previous question. If the previous 
question is rejected, however, a Member who opposed the 
previous question (usually the Rules Committee minority floor 
manager) is recognized. That Member then controls one hour of 
debate time on the amendment. The Member controlling the time 
may offer an amendment to the rule and then move the previous 
question on the amendment and on the rule when debate has 
concluded. Once the rule is adopted (with or without 
amendments), the legislation it concerns is eligible for 
consideration under the terms of the rule.

                 5. Rules Rejected, Tabled, or Pending

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

            2. Original Jurisdiction Full Committee Hearings

a. Mandates Information Act of 1999 (H.R. 350)

    On February 2, 1999, the Subcommittee on Rules and 
Organization of the House and the Subcommittee on Legislative 
and Budget Process held a joint hearing to review the Unfunded 
Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and proposals to expand that act; in 
particular, H.R. 350, the Mandates Information Act of 1999, 
which was introduced by Representatives Condit (D-CA) and 
Portman (R-Ohio). The goal of UMRA was to strengthen the 
partnership between the federal government and state and local 
governments by making Congress and the federal agencies more 
accountable when imposing enforceable duties on state and local 
governments with commensurate funding to carry out those 
duties. The measure became law on March 22, 1995 (Public Law 
104-4). The hearing reviewed the implications of expanding the 
UMRA point of order procedures to private sector mandates to 
increase congressional accountability and public awareness, and 
to improve congressional deliberation on proposed Federal 
private sector mandates. The Committee on Rules received 
testimony from Representatives Condit (D-CA), Portman (R-OH), 
and Boehlert (R-NY); Mr. Jim Blum, Acting Director of the 
Congressional Budget Office; Mr. Ryan Null, Owner of Tristate 
Electronic Manufacturing; Ms. Angela Antonelli, Heritage 
Foundation Director for Economic Policy Studies; and Ms. Maura 
Kealey, Deputy Director, Public Citizen's Congress Watch.
    Representatives Portman (R-OH) and Condit (D-CA) testified 
that the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) has given state 
and local governments a valuable tool to ensure mandate issues 
are considered and addressed at the committee level and that it 
was now time to provide the same tool to consumers, workers, 
and small businesses in the private sector. Representative 
Boehlert (R-NY) testified that H.R. 350 was based on faulty 
assumptions and that it gives private interests legislative 
tools that are denied to their customers, their communities and 
their employees. Acting Director Blum said that from the 
Congressional Budget Office perspective, UMRA has worked as 
intended and to establish a point of order against bills that 
contain private-sector mandates will have the effect of making 
the committees much more aware of the potential costs of 
Federal mandates. Small business owner Ryan Null testified that 
government requirements that a small business must comply with 
may have originated with good intentions but that the costs of 
implementation for a small business are truly overwhelming. Ms. 
Antonelli testified that the Mandates Information Act will 
improve the procedures and information that Members of Congress 
have for evaluating legislative proposals and for conducting 
its daily business and that it will contribute to better, more 
sensible, responsible and accountable policy decisions. Maura 
Kealey testified that this legislation would permit the 
substitution of an abbreviated debate on a procedural motion 
for full, democratic consideration of policies critically 
important to the American people, and that it elevates and 
exaggerates the issue of industry costs over protecting the 
public.
    As a result of the hearing, the Mandates Information Act 
was ordered reported by the Committee on Rules on February 2, 
1999, and passed by the House of Representatives on February 
10, 1999. This hearing laid the groundwork for the Rules 
Committee's markup of H.R. 350 on February 2, 1999. For more 
information see Section IV(C)(3)(a).

b. Comprehensive Budget Process Reform Act of 1999 (H.R. 853)

    H.R. 853 was introduced by a bipartisan coalition of 
Members on February 25, 1999. Included among the bill's primary 
sponsors were Rules Committee Chairman Dreier and Legislative 
and Budget Process Subcommittee Chairman Goss. The legislation, 
which was similar to a bill introduced at the end of the 105th 
Congress (H.R. 4837), was the product of approximately two 
years of cooperation between the Rules Committee and the Budget 
Committee (the two House committees with primary jurisdiction 
over the Congressional budget process). H.R. 853 was referred 
to the Committees on the Budget and Rules, and additionally to 
the Committee on Appropriations. The purpose of H.R. 853 was to 
give the budget the force of law, budget for emergencies, 
display the unfunded liabilities of Federal insurance programs, 
strengthen enforcement of budgetary decisions, increase 
accountability for Federal spending, mitigate the bias in the 
budget process toward higher spending, and modify PAYGO 
requirements when there is an on-budget surplus.
    The Rules Committee held two days of hearings on the 
provisions of H.R. 853. On May 12, 1999, the Committee heard 
testimony from Dan Crippen, Director of the Congressional 
Budget Office; Susan Irving, Associate Director for Budget 
Issues at the General Accounting Office; Ms. Martha Phillips of 
the Concord Coalition; Professor Tim Muris of the George Mason 
School of Law; Mr. Robert Greenstein of the Center for Budget 
and Policy Priorities; and Representatives Nussle (R-IA), 
Cardin (D-MD) and Minge (D-MN), three of the primary sponsors 
of the legislation. On May 13, the Committee heard testimony 
from Representatives Barton (R-TX), Nick Smith (R-MI), Gekas 
(R-PA), Castle (R-DE), Regula (R-OH) and Spratt (D-SC).
    These hearings built upon the Rules Committee's work on 
budget process reform during previous Congresses. During the 
104th and 105th Congresses, the Rules Committee held three 
joint Subcommittee hearings on budget process reform issues 
(July 13, July 19, and September 13, 1995), and conducted a 
Member briefing on the existing parameters of the process 
(September 26, 1997). For a more detailed discussion of these 
reform hearings, see the following Rules Committee Prints: 
``Joint hearings before the Subcommittee on Legislative and 
Budget Process and the Subcommittee on Rules and Organization 
of the House'' 104th Congress, First Session; ``The 
Congressional Budget Process: September 26, 1997 Briefing and 
Selected Printed Materials before the Subcommittee on 
Legislative and Budget Process,'' 105th Congress, First 
Session.
    These hearings laid the groundwork for the Rules 
Committee's markup of H.R. 853 on June 23, 1999. For more 
information see Section IV(C)(3)(c).

c. Points of Order that guarantee spending levels

    During the 105th and 106th Congresses, several committees 
in the House explored various proposals to address budgeting 
uncertainties resulting from tight spending constraints. A 
proposal of concern to the Rules Committee was one that sought 
to enforce a minimum level of spending through points of order 
in the House, such as those included in the Transportation 
Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA21) (P.L. 105-178) and the 
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR21) 
(P.L. 106-181).
    To discuss these concerns, the Rules Committee held a 
hearing on July 21, 1999, to obtain information from interested 
committees about the procedural, institutional and policy 
implications of new House rules and other enforcement 
mechanisms which seek to enforce guaranteed levels of spending 
for Federal programs. Witnesses included: Transportation and 
Infrastructure Committee Chairman Shuster (R-PA), 
Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Ranking Member 
Oberstar (D-MN), Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Obey 
(D-WI), Budget Committee Ranking Member Spratt (D-SC), and 
Susan Irving, Associate Director for Budget Issues, General 
Accounting Office (GAO).
    Guaranteed spending points of order are one of several ways 
to require Congress to spend a certain amount of money on a 
specific program. The same result can be accomplished by making 
the program an entitlement, by taking the funding off-budget, 
or simply by Congress deciding each year that the authorized 
level of funds should be the appropriated level of funds. The 
Rules Committee hearing explored the pros and cons of 
guaranteed spending points of order versus other mechanisms 
with the same budget effect, asking several relevant questions, 
such as with a TEA21- or AIR21-type point of order, who 
determines when the point of order is triggered? The point of 
order is triggered by any amendment, bill, or conference report 
that would ``cause'' total budget authority and obligation 
limitations to go below a certain designated level. But who 
determines when the spending level has gone down? The CBO does 
not score obligation limits and there is little procedural 
history to determine who will decide when obligation limits 
have been reduced. This issue was raised by several witnesses, 
but never adequately answered.
    The Rules Committee also discussed its concern that a 
guaranteed spending point of order is rigid and balkanizes the 
budget process. The purpose of the budget process is to allow 
Congress to set overall fiscal priorities, year by year. In 
that way, Congress can react to the changing needs of the 
country. But a guaranteed spending point of order requires that 
a certain amount of money be spent for a specific program, no 
matter the circumstances.
    Another concern explored during the hearing was the fact 
that the guaranteed spending points of order are enforceable 
only in the House, not the Senate. This may create substantial 
friction during any House-Senate conference on transportation 
funding or general appropriation measure, similar to the 
friction created by the Byrd Rule.

d. Legislating in the Information Age

    Congress has made a remarkable transformation into the 
information age. Prior to the 104th Congress, fewer than 50 
House Members had e-mail addresses, and there were no committee 
or personal office Web sites. The House of Representatives was 
a ``paper-based'' institution where electronic information and 
documents existed in separate computers that were not 
interconnected. Most documents were only available for mass 
distribution in hard-copy (paper) format.
    Today, the technological infrastructure of the House is 
state of the art. Members and staff are better trained and more 
technically adept. Every Member and standing committee has a 
Web site. The public has unprecedented access to Members of 
Congress and real-time legislative information, such as record 
votes, the Congressional Record, bills and committee reports. 
Committees now have the ability to ``cybercast'' their hearings 
over the Internet, thus bypassing conventional media.
    These new information platforms and communication media are 
transforming the culture, operations, and responsibilities of 
Congress often in positive ways. At the same time, there is 
concern that misapplied technology may exacerbate inequities in 
our political system, maintain those aspects of the status quo 
that require change, and undermine the nature of our unique 
representative government.
    To examine how technology transforms the institution, the 
Rules Committee held a hearing on July 16, 1999, to examine how 
state legislatures are using information technology to help 
facilitate the legislative process. The Committee heard 
testimony from Minnesota State Senator Steve Kelley; Mr. Tom 
Tedcastle, General Counsel of the Florida State House of 
Representatives; and Mr. Steve Watson, Chief Deputy Director of 
the Nevada Legislative Counsel Bureau.
    Senator Kelley described how laptop computers are used in 
the Minnesota Senate and how the use of the technology affects 
State legislators' interaction with citizens. Mr. Tedcastle 
provided political insight into how technology could be used 
without disrupting the process and traditions of the House of 
Representatives. Mr. Watson outlined various technological 
changes that have occurred in the Nevada Legislature, such as 
automated bill drafting, wireless laptop computers for 
legislators, a Web page with legislative information, a digital 
recording system in the Senate and Assembly hearing rooms, a 
legislative electronic voting system, a computer-based in-house 
cable TV system, and a computer-based telephone answering and 
transferring system.

e. Biennial Budgeting: A Tool for Improving Government Fiscal 
        Management and Oversight

    On February 16, March 10 and March 16, 2000, the Rules 
Committee held a series of hearings to examine proposals from 
various Members of Congress, the Executive Branch and outside 
experts on establishing a two-year budget and appropriations 
cycle in an effort to develop consensus legislation that would 
streamline the budget process, enhance programmatic oversight, 
strengthen the management of government programs and 
bureaucracies, and reform Congress. The Committee received 
testimony from Members of Congress, representatives of the 
Office of Management and Budget, the Congressional Budget 
Office, the General Accounting Office, the Congressional 
Research Service and noted budget experts from academia. These 
hearings laid the groundwork for Rules Committee Chairman David 
Dreier and Rules Committee Democratic Member Tony Hall, among 
others, to offer a biennial budgeting amendment during the 
floor consideration of H.R. 853, the Comprehensive Budget 
Process Reform Act.
    On February 16, 2000, the Committee heard testimony from 
the following Members of Congress: the Speaker of the House 
Hastert (R-IL); Appropriations Committee Chairman C.W. Bill 
Young (R-FL); Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Obey (D-
WI); and Representatives Regula (R-OH), Knollenberg (R-MI), 
David E. Price (D-NC), Nick Smith (R-MI), Bass (R-NH), Spratt 
Jr.(D-SC), Barton (R-TX), Stearns (R-FL), Ney (R-OH), Whitfield 
(R-KY), Castle (R-DE), Luther (D-MN), Condit (D-CA), and Karen 
McCarthy (D-MO).
    On March 10, 2000, the Committee heard testimony from the 
Honorable Jack Lew, Director of the Office of Management and 
Budget; Dan Crippen, Director of the Congressional Budget 
Office; Sue Irving, Associate Director of Budget Issues of the 
General Accounting Office; and Lou Fisher, Senior Specialist in 
Separation of Powers at the Congressional Research Service.
    On March 16, 2000, the Committee heard testimony from the 
Honorable Lee Hamilton, Director of the Woodrow Wilson Center; 
Thomas E. Mann, W. Averell Harriman Senior Fellow in American 
Governance at the Brookings Institution; Professor Phil Joyce, 
Associate Professor of Public Administration, School of 
Business and Public Management, The George Washington 
University; Professor Charles Whalen, Senior Institute 
Economist, Institute for Industry Studies, Cornell University; 
Professor Roy T. Meyers, Associate Professor, Department of 
Political Science, University of Maryland, Baltimore County; 
the Honorable Bill Frenzel, Committee for a Responsible Federal 
Budget Robert Bixby, Executive Director of the Concord 
Coalition; James Horney, Senior Fellow, Center on Budget and 
Policy Priorities; Dr. Martin Regalia, the Vice President of 
Economic Policy and Chief Economist of the U.S. Chamber of 
Commerce; Ronald Snell, Economic and Fiscal Division Director 
of the National Conference of State Legislatures; and the 
Honorable Leon Panetta, Director of the Panetta Institute (via 
video conference). The Committee also received written 
testimony from the Senior Executives Association.
    During the 106th Congress, several biennial budgeting bills 
were introduced including: H.R. 232 by Rep. Regula (R-OH); H.R. 
493 by Rep. Stearns (R-FL); H.R. 2985 by Rep. Bass (R-NH) and 
H.R. 3586 by Rep. Callahan (R-AL). Each of these bills was 
referred to the Committee on Rules and the Committee on the 
Budget. In addition, Senate Budget Committee Chairman Domenici 
(R-NM) introduced S. 92, which was discharged by the Senate 
Budget Committee and reported by the Senate Governmental 
Affairs Committee. In addition, Rules Committee Chairman Dreier 
(R-CA) garnered 245 cosponsors (200 Republican, 44 Democrat and 
1 Independent) on H. Res. 396, a resolution expressing the 
Sense of Congress that a biennial budget and appropriations 
process should be enacted during the second session of the 
106th Congress. Furthermore, President Clinton recommended 
biennial budgeting in his FY 2001 budget submission. The 
biennial budgeting amendment to H.R. 853 was defeated on May 
16, 2000 by a record vote of 201 to 217.

f. Open Hearing to Receive Member Testimony on Proposed Changes to 
        House Rules

    In keeping with a tradition begun when the current majority 
took control in the 104th Congress, the Committee held an open 
hearing on September 13, 2000, to receive Member testimony on 
proposed changes to House rules. Rep. Burton (R-IN) discussed 
restoring proxy voting in committees; Rep. Gary Miller (R-CA) 
presented a proposal to make in order amendments to 
appropriations bills to reduce spending and pay down the public 
debt; Representatives Davis (R-VA) and Morella (R-MD) joined 
with Del. Norton (D-DC) to advocate changes to allow the 
Delegate from the District of Columbia to vote in the Committee 
of the Whole; Rep. Tancredo (R-CO) offered legislation to 
prohibit naming federal structures after sitting Members of 
Congress and advocated for expanding the reporting requirements 
in appropriations bills for unauthorized programs; finally, 
Del. Underwood (D-GU) raised the question of whether delegates 
may serve as Speaker pro tempore.
    In addition to this hearing, Committee staff contacted each 
committee and conducted interviews with counsels from most 
committees. Interviews were also conducted with leadership 
staff in the offices of the Speaker, Majority Leader, Majority 
Whip, Republican Conference and Republican Policy Committee.

        3. Original Jurisdiction Measures Reported or Discharged

a. Mandates Information Act of 1999 (H.R. 350)

    On January 19, 1999, Representatives Condit (D-CA) and 
Portman (R-OH) introduced H.R. 350, the Mandates Information 
Act of 1999, which was referred to the Committee on Rules. On 
February 2, 1999, the Subcommittee on Rules and Organization of 
the House and the Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget 
Process held a joint hearing to review H.R. 350 and its 
implementation under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). 
The Subcommittees received testimony from Representatives 
Condit (D-CA), Portman (R-OH), and Boehlert (R-NY); Mr. Jim 
Blum, Acting Director of the Congressional Budget Office; Mr. 
Ryan Null, Owner of Tristate Electronic Manufacturing; Ms. 
Angela Antonelli, Heritage Foundation Director for Economic 
Policy Studies; and Ms. Maura Kealey, Deputy Director, Public 
Citizen's Congress Watch.
    The purpose of H.R. 350 was to improve the quality of the 
Congress' deliberation with respect to proposed mandates on the 
private sector by providing the Congress with more complete 
information about the effects of such mandates, and ensuring 
that the Congress acts on such mandates only after focused 
deliberation on the effects of the proposed mandate and to 
enhance the ability of the Congress to distinguish between 
private sector mandates that harm consumers, workers, and small 
businesses, and mandates that help those groups.
    H.R. 350 amends the Congressional Budget and Impoundment 
Control Act of 1974 to require a Congressional committee report 
on any bill or joint resolution that includes a federal private 
sector mandate to include a statement from the Congressional 
Budget Office (CBO) estimating the impact of such mandates on 
consumers, workers, and small businesses, including any 
disproportionate impact on particular regions or industries. 
CBO is currently required to estimate only the direct costs of 
all federal private sector mandates that exceed $100 million 
and the amount of federal financial assistance, if any, 
provided by the legislation to assist with compliance costs. 
H.R. 350 subjects the consideration of such legislation to a 
point of order if it is not feasible for CBO to prepare such an 
estimate. Under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act, a point of 
order currently may only apply if it is not feasible for CBO to 
prepare an intergovernmental mandates estimate.
    Under H.R. 350, any bill, joint resolution, amendment, 
motion or conference report containing private sector mandates 
is prohibited from consideration if its direct costs exceed 
$100 million (the current unfunded mandate point of order 
applies only to unfunded intergovernmental mandates, the direct 
cost of which exceeds $50 million, unless it is paid for with 
new federal financial assistance). Furthermore, the Chair is 
prohibited from recognizing a Member for more than one point of 
order for a committee's failure to comply with the CBO report 
requirements with respect to private sector mandates, or for 
private sector mandates contained in any bill, joint 
resolution, amendment, motion or conference report. Finally, 
H.R. 350 amends clause 5(c) of House Rule XXIII to preserve the 
availability in the Committee of the Whole of a motion to 
strike an unfunded federal mandate (intergovernmental and 
private sector), unless that rule is specifically waived by the 
Rules Committee.
    On February 2, 1999, the Committee met to mark-up H.R. 350. 
The Committee favorably reported H.R. 350, as amended, by voice 
vote. During the mark-up, one amendment in the nature of a 
substitute offered by Mr. Linder was agreed to by a voice vote. 
H.R. 350, as amended by this substitute, is essentially the 
same as legislation (H.R. 3534) that passed the House on May 
19, 1998 by a vote of 279 to 132.
    On February 3, 1999, the Rules Committee granted an open 
rule (H. Res. 36) providing for consideration of H.R. 350 
providing one hour of general debate equally divided and 
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on Rules. Mr. Linder managed the rule for the 
majority while Mr. Moakley managed the rule for the minority. 
On February 4, 1999, the rule was adopted by voice vote.
    During further consideration of the bill on February 10, 
1999, an amendment made in order by the rule as a substitute 
text was adopted by voice vote and two other amendments were 
defeated. Rep. Boehlert (R-NY) offered an amendment that sought 
to require the Chair to rule on a point of order raised against 
measures that imposed private sector mandates which cost more 
than $100 million. If that point of order was sustained, then 
the House would debate the costs and benefits of the measure 
for an additional 20 minutes. The amendment was defeated by a 
record vote of 210 to 216. Rep. Waxman (D-CA) offered an 
amendment to permit a point of order against measures that 
remove, prohibit the use of appropriated funds to implement, or 
make less stringent mandates established to protect human 
health, safety, or the environment. The amendment was defeated 
by a record vote of 203-216. On February 10, 1999, H.R. 350, as 
amended, was agreed to by the House by a record vote of 274-
149.
    On March 3, 1999, H.R. 350, as passed by the House, was 
placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. 
Calendar No. 25. No further legislative action was taken.

b. State Flexibility Clarification Act (H.R. 3257)

    On November 8, 1999, Representatives Reynolds (R-NY) and 
Condit (D-CA) introduced H.R. 3257, the State Flexibility 
Clarification Act, which was referred to the Committee on 
Rules. The purpose of H.R. 3257 was to clarify that any 
legislation that cuts or caps safety entitlement programs 
constitutes an intergovernmental mandate, as defined by the 
Unfunded Mandated Reform Act, unless State and local 
governments are given new or additional flexibility to 
implement the restriction or funding reduction. On November 11, 
1999, the House adopted a motion to suspend the rules and pass 
H.R. 3257 by a vote of 401-1. The forty minutes of debate was 
divided equally between Mr. Reynolds, who managed the bill for 
majority and Mr. Moakley, who managed the bill for the 
minority. On November 19, 1999, the Senate passed H.R. 3257 by 
unanimous consent. President Clinton signed it into law on 
December 7, 1999 (P.L. 106-141).

c. Comprehensive Budget Process Reform Act of 1999 (H.R. 853)

    H.R. 853 was introduced by a bipartisan coalition of 
Members on February 25, 1999. Included among the bill's primary 
sponsors were Rules Committee Chairman David Dreier and 
Legislative and Budget Process Subcommittee Chairman Porter 
Goss. The legislation, which was similar to a bill introduced 
at the end of the 105th Congress (H.R. 4837), was the product 
of approximately two years of cooperation between the Rules 
Committee and the Budget Committee (the two House committees 
with primary jurisdiction over the Congressional budget 
process). In addition to the Budget Committee, the Committee 
shared jurisdiction over this measure with the Appropriations 
Committee.
    Among the chief criticisms of the existing budget process 
are its complexity, the lack of accountability for the fiscal 
decisions it fosters, the low level of public confidence it 
inspires, and the weakness of existing enforcement mechanisms. 
In producing H.R. 853, the sponsors of the legislation 
attempted to address these weaknesses in the system.
    H.R. 853 gave the budget the force of law by transforming 
the existing nonbinding concurrent resolution on the budget 
into a joint budget resolution that would be presented to the 
President for signature. The bill also established a ``rainy 
day'' reserve fund for emergencies based on a clear definition 
of what is meant by the term ``emergency'' (a term not 
currently defined in law). H.R. 853 strengthened enforcement of 
budgetary decisions by requiring that each committee include a 
budget compliance statement in the report of each of its bills 
indicating whether the bill is within the budgetary levels for 
that committee set forth by the budget resolution. H.R. 853 
also repealed Rule XXIII, which allows for an automatic 
increase in the debt limit without a separate vote by Members 
on legislation that increases the debt limit. To better reflect 
the long term implications of unfunded liabilities, the bill 
required the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) to report periodically on long-term 
budgetary trends and began the process of phasing in 
``accrual'' budgeting, which is a type of financial planning 
that recognizes expected long-term costs at the time of the 
promise to incur those costs. H.R. 853 reduced the bias toward 
higher spending by requiring that the President and Congress 
compare spending estimates to actual prior year spending levels 
(a further step away from baseline budgeting) and by 
establishing a lock-box to protect savings in appropriation 
bills secured during the amendment process on the House floor. 
Finally, the bill reformed PAYGO to allow expanded use of on-
budget surpluses for tax cuts or other initiatives. The 
existing PAYGO rules require offsets for tax cuts or increases 
in entitlement spending regardless of the existence of an on-
budget surplus.
    Many of the major provisions of H.R. 853 were based on the 
work of a variety of Members who have developed innovative 
proposals for reform. H.R. 853 reflected the work of 
Representatives Cox (R-CA) and Barton (R-TX) on the fundamental 
question of the form of the budget resolution and ways to 
increase accountability for federal spending. Likewise, the 
work of Representative Castle (R-DE) on emergency spending, 
Representative Nick Smith (R-MI) on the debt limit, and 
Representatives Gekas (R-PA) and Rohrabacher (R-CA) on 
automatic continuing resolutions was reflected in H.R. 853. The 
bill also included provisions similar to legislation authored 
in the past by Rules Committee Ranking Member Moakley on 
application of points of order to unreported bills, by 
Representative Sabo (D-MN) on the Byrd Rule, by Representative 
Stenholm (D-TX), and former Representative Penny (D-MN) on 
baselines, by Senators Kerrey (D-NE) and former Senator Simpson 
(R-WY) on long-term budgetary trends, and by former 
Representative (now Senator) Crapo (R-ID) on the spending 
accountability lock-box.
    On June 17, 1999, the Budget Committee marked up H.R. 853, 
adopting an amendment in the nature of a substitute offered by 
the bill's primary sponsor, Representative Nussle (R-IA), as 
amended by one amendment to title II (emergencies), offered by 
Representative Bentsen (D-TX). The amendment in the nature of a 
substitute incorporated a series of technical and clarifying 
changes to the introduced text. On Tuesday, June 22, 1999, the 
Committee on Appropriations ordered H.R. 853 reported adversely 
with an amendment striking out section 641 relating to an 
automatic continuing appropriation.
    On Wednesday, June 23, 1999, the Rules Committee marked up 
the procedural provisions of H.R. 853. Legislative and Budget 
Process Subcommittee Chairman Goss offered an amendment in the 
nature of a substitute which amended Title I (Budget With the 
Force of Law), Title II (Reserve Fund for Emergencies), Title 
VI (Baseline, Byrd Rule, Lock-box and Automatic Continuing 
Resolution) and Title VII (Budgeting in an Era of Surpluses). 
In addition, the amendment made other technical and conforming 
changes to the bill. H.R. 853, as amended, was favorably 
reported by a voice vote. The Committee's minority Members 
filed Minority Views with the report on H.R. 853, in which they 
argued that while the current budget process may be imperfect, 
the major provisions in H.R. 853 may make it worse. The Ranking 
Member on the Legislative and Budget Process Subcommittee, 
Representative Frost, filed additional dissenting views that 
argued against the codification of an automatic continuing 
resolution.
    On May 10, 2000, the Committee met to consider a special 
rule (H. Res. 499) providing for the consideration by the House 
of H.R. 853. H. Res. 499 made in order a new text, H.R. 4397, 
in lieu of the amendments offered by the three committees of 
jurisdiction. The major changes in H.R. 4397 included removing 
from the bill the provisions dealing with the automatic 
continuing resolution, the deficit reduction lockbox and the 
changes to PAYGO in Title VII. H. Res. 499 was reported out by 
the Committee by voice vote.
    The House agreed to H. Res. 499 by voice vote on May 10, 
2000. H. Res. 499 provided time allotments during general 
debate on H.R. 4397 to the three committees of jurisdiction, 
with Legislative and Budget Process Subcommittee Chairman Goss 
and Rules Committee Ranking Member Moakley controlling the time 
allotted to the Rules Committee. On May 16, 2000, under H. Res. 
499, the House considered several amendments to H.R. 853. The 
House adopted by voice vote amendments offered by Rep. Ryan (R-
WI) to place back into the bill a deficit reduction lockbox, 
and to amend the PAYGO rules to allow the on-budget surplus to 
offset tax relief or mandatory spending increases. The House 
also adopted by voice vote an amendment by Rep. Tancredo (R-CO) 
to expand the reporting requirements for unauthorized programs 
contained in appropriations bills. The House rejected by a vote 
of 173-236 an amendment offered by Rep. Gekas (R-PA) to place 
back into the bill the automatic continuing resolution. The 
House also rejected by a vote of 188-225 an amendment offered 
by Rep. Jackson-Lee (D-TX) to delete provisions that remove 
budget functions from the budget resolution and places them in 
a committee report. Finally, a bipartisan amendment to 
establish a two year budgeting and appropriations cycle and 
budget timetable, offered by Chairman Dreier and cosponsored by 
many Committee Members, including Rules and Organization of the 
House Subcommittee Ranking Member Tony Hall, was also defeated, 
by a vote of 201-217. For more information on the biennial 
budgeting amendment, see Section IV(C)(2)(e). On final passage, 
H.R. 4397 was defeated by a vote of 166-250.

                   V. ACTIVITIES OF THE SUBCOMMITTEES


  A. Activities of the Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget Process


                      1. Jurisdiction and Purpose

    The Committee on Rules first established the Subcommittee 
on Legislative Process in 1979 at the outset of the 96th 
Congress. The Subcommittee has been reestablished at the outset 
of each succeeding Congress since that time. In early 1995, the 
Committee changed the name of the Subcommittee to better 
reflect its jurisdiction, and since that time the Subcommittee 
has been known as the Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget 
Process. In the 106th Congress, Mr. Goss remained the 
Subcommittee chairman, a post he has held since the beginning 
of the 104th Congress. The Subcommittee maintained its previous 
level of seven Members, 5 majority and 2 minority. In addition 
to Chairman Goss, the remaining Members of the Subcommittee 
included Ms. Pryce (Vice Chairman), Mr. Hastings, Mrs. Myrick, 
Mr. Dreier, Mr. Frost (Ranking Member), and Mr. Moakley.
    Committee rule 5(a)(1)(A) assigns to the Subcommittee the 
general responsibility for measures or matters related to 
relations between the Congress and the Executive Branch. The 
legislation falling within the panel's jurisdiction includes 
resolutions and bills, with the primary statute within the 
Subcommittee's jurisdiction being the Congressional Budget and 
Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-344) as amended. 
The Subcommittee also continues to exercise jurisdiction over 
budget process-related provisions found in Part C of the 
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 
(Public Law 99-177 as amended by Public Laws 100-119, 101-508 
and 103-44) and the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 (Title XIII 
of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (Public Law 
103-44).
    Legislation is referred to the Subcommittee at the 
discretion of the Chairman of the Committee on Rules. In this 
Congress, twenty-six bills and resolutions were referred to the 
Subcommittee for its consideration and review.

             2. Summary of activities in the 106th Congress

a. The Rescissions Process After the Line Item Veto: Tools for 
        Controlling Spending

    Following on its efforts in the 104th Congress to produce 
the Line Item Veto Act of 1996, and in the wake of the Supreme 
Court's decision to invalidate the Act, the Subcommittee in the 
106th Congress took the lead in examining alternative proposals 
to the Act, including enhancing the existing rescissions 
process. The Subcommittee held a hearing on July 30, 1999, to 
assess the existing rescissions process--its history, mechanics 
and effectiveness--specifically as a tool for promoting 
accountability and fiscal discipline. In addition, the hearing 
explored proposals for strengthening the rescissions process.
    The hearing was framed in the context of the Supreme Court 
decision to strike down the Line Item Veto Act, providing 
certain parameters within which Congress may consider 
legislative changes to the current rescissions process. At that 
time, Members of the Rules Committee who were involved in the 
development and enactment of the Line Item Veto Act announced 
their commitment to ``going back to the drawing board'' to 
examine ways in which to improve the rescissions process to 
achieve the goals of the Line Item Veto Act, without crossing 
the lines of Constitutional permissibility established by the 
Court.
    This Subcommittee hearing provided the first step in that 
effort, which could result in legislative recommendations by 
the Committee in the 107th Congress. The Subcommittee heard 
testimony from two panels. The first panel included Sylvia 
Matthews, Deputy Director of the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB); Dan Crippen, Director of the Congressional Budget 
Office (CBO); and Gary Kepplinger, the Associate General 
Counsel of the General Accounting Office (GAO). The second 
panel consisted of Louis Fisher, Congressional Research Service 
(CRS); Phillip Joyce, Professor of Public Administration at the 
George Washington University; and Allen Schick, Visiting Fellow 
at the Brookings Institution.

b. The Impact of Executive Orders on the Legislative Process: Executive 
        Lawmaking?

    In recent years, President Clinton has clashed with the 
Congress and other entities over several high-profile executive 
orders. In the 106th Congress, several legislative proposals 
were introduced by Members seeking to re-assert the authorities 
of Congress in response to broad use of the executive order by 
modern Presidents. The Subcommittee took the lead in examining 
the process and legal bases for executive orders and assessing 
their impact on the legislative process.
    The Subcommittee held a hearing on October 27, 1999, to 
review the process, guidelines and legal authorities of 
executive orders and assess their impact on the legislative 
process. Given the size and scope of the federal government, 
the use of executive orders has, at times, also had significant 
policy implications for all citizens, raising the specter of 
``executive lawmaking.'' This hearing was designed to review an 
important and infrequently considered area of Executive/
Congressional relations to raise awareness and promote 
vigilance and active oversight by the committees of Congress.
    Executive orders by any President can have significant 
policy implications and can encroach upon the lawmaking 
authority of the Congress. Congressional action to guard 
against this trend is constrained by the separation of powers; 
however, greater awareness and understanding of the process in 
Congress and greater transparency for the public is an 
important defense of the proper balance between the branches.
    Because there is broad discretion for the President, 
because the ability to issue an executive order confers 
enormous, unilateral power to the President, and because the 
federal government has grown so dramatically in recent decades, 
Congress has a continuing obligation to remain vigilant and 
ensure that its institutional prerogatives and the legislative 
process are not diminished or ignored. In addition, Congress 
has a role in making sure that the public is aware of policies 
implemented through executive orders. This is an important area 
of oversight for the committees of Congress, a point that was 
stressed by the panelists during the hearing.
    The Subcommittee heard testimony from three panels of 
experts. The first panel included Douglas Cox, formerly the 
Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel at 
the Department of Justice (1988-1993); Neil Kinkopf, formerly 
the Special Assistant in the Office of Legal Counsel, 
Department of Justice (1993-97); Robert Bedell, Administrator, 
Office of Federal Procurement Policy, OMB (1986-88); and Tom 
Sargentich, Senior Attorney Advisor, Office of Legal Counsel, 
Department of Justice (1978-1983). This panel provided a 
perspective from serving in the Executive Branch.
    The second panel consisted of William Olson, co-author of a 
CATO Institute research paper entitled ``Executive Orders and 
National Emergencies.'' Mr. Olson discussed his paper and 
commented on legislation pending before Congress on the 
subject. The final panel included Ray Mosley, Director, Office 
of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records 
Administration, who testified about the role of the National 
Register and recent efforts to broaden public access to 
Executive orders and other presidential directives. For more 
information on this hearing, see the Subcommittee print, 
``Executive Orders.''
    The Subcommittee fully intends to pursue additional 
hearings and briefings in the 107th Congress, including 
exploring case studies that represent the reach of executive 
orders. Undoubtedly, recent news reports about the use, and 
potential abuse, of executive orders will also spur greater 
oversight by the next Congress. In particular, statements made 
by current White House Chief of Staff, John Podesta, regarding 
the use of executive orders--``strike of the pen, law of the 
land * * * pretty cool!''--underscores the increased use of 
this procedural device and the need for better oversight.

                    3. Assisting the Full Committee

a. Budget process reform

    Throughout the 106th Congress the Subcommittee focused 
primarily on conducting its oversight responsibilities as 
outlined in the panel's oversight plan. Although the 
Subcommittee did not mark-up and report any legislation, it was 
heavily involved in assisting the full Committee in fulfilling 
its original jurisdiction duties, including the full Committee 
markup and floor consideration of comprehensive budget process 
reform legislation. The specifics of this activity are outlined 
elsewhere in this report.
    With respect to its oversight work, the Subcommittee spent 
much of the Congress working in concert with the Committee on 
the Budget, with which it shares jurisdiction over the major 
laws and procedures governing the Congressional budget process. 
That effort, involving staff and Members conducting meetings, 
briefings and hearings, culminated in the introduction, markup 
and floor consideration of H.R. 853, major bipartisan 
legislation designed to reform and streamline the Congressional 
budget process.

b. Reform proposals for the 107th Congress

    In keeping with the process begun in the 105th Congress, 
the Subcommittee assisted the full Committee in soliciting 
input from the entire membership of the House for proposed 
rules changes to incorporate into the opening day rules package 
at the outset of the 107th Congress. The Subcommittee 
participated in conducting a ``Members day'' hearing before the 
Committee on September 12, 2000. In addition, Subcommittee 
staff contacted each committee to receive input and 
recommendations to change the existing House rules.

  B. Activities of the Subcommittee on Rules and Organization of the 
                                 House


                      1. Jurisdiction and Purpose

    The Subcommittee was first established at the beginning of 
the 96th Congress as the Subcommittee on Rules of the House. At 
the beginning of the 104th Congress, its name was changed to 
the Subcommittee on Rules and Organization of the House to more 
accurately reflect the Subcommittee's mission and jurisdiction. 
Mr. Linder became its fourth chairman at the beginning of the 
106th Congress. The Subcommittee maintained its previous level 
of seven Members, 5 majority and 2 minority. In addition to 
Chairman Linder, the remaining Members of the Subcommittee 
included Mr. Diaz-Balart (Vice Chairman), Mr. Sessions, Mr. 
Reynolds, Mr. Dreier, Mr. Hall (Ranking Member), and Ms. 
Slaughter.
    The Subcommittee has general responsibility for measures or 
matters related to relations between the two Houses of 
Congress, relations between Congress and the Judiciary, and 
internal operations of the House. The Subcommittee is primarily 
responsible for the continuing examination of the committee 
structure and jurisdictional issues of all House committees. It 
remains committed to a continuing study of the organization and 
operations of the House.
    During the 106th Congress, the Subcommittee was referred 
one joint resolution, eight resolutions, and twenty bills.

             2. Summary of Activities in the 106th Congress

a. Proposals emanating from the second bipartisan congressional retreat

    On April 29, 1999, the Subcommittee on Rules and 
Organization of the House held a hearing to examine proposals 
for improving civility that emerged from the Second Bipartisan 
Congressional Retreat, and to review a March 1999 report by 
Professor Kathleen Hall Jamieson entitled ``Civility in the 
House.'' This report was prepared for the retreat and 
distributed to the approximately 200 Members of the House of 
Representatives and their families in attendance. Following the 
first retreat in 1997, the Rules Committee examined the 
findings generated at the retreat and held hearings on April 
17, 1997, and May 1, 1997, to review the retreat and a number 
of issues raised by Dr. Jamieson's previous study.
    The second bipartisan retreat took place in Hershey, 
Pennsylvania, on March 19-21, 1999. Organized to develop better 
relationships among Members, reduce partisan rancor, and 
improve the productivity of the House, the retreat was designed 
to seek a greater degree of civility, mutual respect, and 
bipartisanship among Members of the House of Representatives.
    The Subcommittee heard testimony from Representatives 
LaHood (R-IL), Sawyer (D-OH), Houghton (R-NY), and Eshoo (D-
CA). Each of these Members was a Co-Chairman of the Retreat 
Planning Committee. The Subcommittee also heard from Dr. 
Kathleen Jamieson, former Congressman Bob Walker, Dr. Barbara 
Sinclair, and Dr. Stanley Bach. Major issues discussed included 
the importance of having opportunities like the retreat to 
spend time with one another in a non-partisan environment, the 
impact of the Hershey retreat, the current and historical level 
of civility in the House, and some of the factors that have 
contributed to that civility.

b. Cooperation, comity, and confrontation: congressional oversight of 
        the executive branch

    On July 15, 1999, the Subcommittee examined several 
institutional issues related to the congressional oversight of 
the executive branch by House committees. The Subcommittee 
specifically examined the impact of agencies asserting certain 
rights to shield information from Congress on the ability of 
Congress to carry out its oversight function.
    The Subcommittee received testimony from seven Members of 
Congress who were involved in various House Committee oversight 
investigations during recent Congresses. These witnesses 
included: Representative Hoekstra (R-MI), Chairman of the 
Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee of the Committee on 
Education and the Workforce; Government Reform Committee 
Chairman Burton (R-IN); Representatives Barton (R-TX), Chairman 
of the Energy and Power Subcommittee of the Committee on 
Commerce; Resources Committee Chairman Don Young (R-AK); 
Judiciary Committee Chairman Hyde (R-IL); and Representatives 
Frank (D-MA) and Kanjorski (D-PA).
    The chairmen provided testimony and examples from their 
experiences in conducting oversight inquiries and 
investigations during which the executive branch, specifically 
the Department of Justice, created various obstacles to impede 
the efforts of congressional investigators. The nature of these 
obstacles involved the assertion of certain rights and 
privileges by executive branch officials, inaction by the 
Department of Justice on congressional referrals, delays by the 
Department of Justice in the taking of depositions, and the 
necessity of issuing subpoenas to Department of Justice 
officials in order to obtain certain documents. The minority 
witnesses provided additional perspectives on executive branch 
responses to congressional inquiries, including challenging to 
the legitimacy of the inquiries themselves.
    The dialogue generated from the testimony led to further 
discussion of the current manner in which Congress conducts 
congressional investigations and programmatic oversight, 
including the protection of the institutional privileges and 
prerogatives of Congress.

c. The Government Performance and Results Act and the Legislative 
        Process of House Committees

    On March 22, 2000, the Subcommittee held a hearing to 
examine the impact of the Government Performance and Results 
Act's (GPRA) implementation on the legislative process of House 
committees. The purpose of the hearing was not to monitor GPRA 
from the perspective of managing the requirements of the Act 
itself, but from the perspective of its impact on the duties, 
jurisdictions, and oversight responsibilities of the standing 
committees of the House. The Subcommittee examined: (1) whether 
committees automatically provide performance goals when 
creating new or reauthorizing existing programs; and (2) the 
rules governing the House oversight and hearing process to 
determine whether these rules affect the way in which 
committees incorporate performance goals into their 
legislation. House Rule X and Rule XI vest committees with the 
authority and responsibility to determine whether legislation 
is working as intended, the costs and benefits of program 
implementation, and whether some statutes have outlived their 
usefulness. Consequently, the Subcommittee focused on the 
processes congressional committees use in drafting legislation 
and conducting oversight, and examined how committees can 
better accomplish the oversight goals of the Results Act.
    The Subcommittee received testimony from Rep. Horn (R-CA) 
describing the history of development and implementation of the 
Results Act and discussing the legislative process and how 
committees work on and advance performance goals. The 
Subcommittee also heard testimony on the role of House 
committees in implementing GPRA from David Walker, Comptroller 
of the General Accounting Office, and Joshua Gotbaum, Executive 
Associate Director and Controller of the Office of Federal 
Financial Management at the Office of Management and Budget. 
Finally, the Subcommittee received suggestions on how 
committees can define goals and secure quality results from the 
Honorable Maurice McTigue, former Member of Parliament from New 
Zealand and Distinguished Visiting Scholar, Mercatus Center, 
George Mason University.

                    3. Assisting the Full Committee

a. Unfunded mandates

    The Subcommittee has continued to play a critical role in 
the development and implementation of House procedures dealing 
with unfunded mandates by assisting the Congressional Budget 
Office, House Members and House Committees with their 
understanding of the requirements placed upon them by the 
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (P.L. 104-4). The 
subcommittee also supported the full committee in its efforts 
to improve congressional deliberation and public awareness of 
private sector mandates by spending a significant amount of 
time reconciling the model provisions of public sector mandates 
law to apply to legislation containing private sector mandates. 
First, in recognizing that there are likely to be more private 
sector mandates, the subcommittee recommended the threshold be 
raised to $100 million. Second, in order to address concerns 
that the point of order could be used as a dilatory tactic, the 
subcommittee recommended that the private sector mandates bill 
only permits one point of order against the underlying 
legislation, thus forcing consolidation. And finally, the 
subcommittee worked closely with the Committee on Ways and 
Means to ensure that legislation resulting in a net tax 
decrease would be exempt from any private sector mandate 
provision.
    The results of this activity were encapsulated in the work 
of the full Committee original jurisdiction hearing and mark up 
of H.R. 350, The Mandates Information Act in February of 1999. 
For more information see Section IV(C)(3)(a).

b. Technology and the legislative process issues

    The Subcommittee informally continued the examination of 
technology and the legislative process that it began in the 
105th Congress. In bipartisan meetings with the House 
Parliamentarian, the Committee on House Administration, the 
Office of the Clerk, the Press Gallery, and others, the 
Subcommittee began laying the foundation for understanding what 
current changes in technology may mean to the traditional 
operations of the House. As mentioned in a previous section, 
the full Committee held a hearing on these issues in July of 
1999 and received testimony from Minnesota State Senator Steve 
Kelley, General Counsel Tom Tedcastle of the Florida State 
House of Representatives, and Chief Deputy Director Steve 
Watson of the Nevada Legislative Counsel Bureau.
    The Subcommittee plans to continue to examine and study 
this issue during the 107th Congress.

c. Opening day rules changes hearing

    The Subcommittee participated in a joint hearing with the 
Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget Process. The 
Subcommittee solicited suggestions from Members of the House 
regarding House Rules changes that Members would like to see 
included in the opening day rules package of the 107th 
Congress. The Subcommittee assisted the full Committee in the 
preparation of this package. For more information see Section 
IV(C)(2)(f).
