    1. Meetings of the Committee may be called by the Chairman 
as he may deem necessary on three days' notice of the date,

II. HEARINGS OF THE COMMITTEE

    1. The Committee shall provide a public announcement of the 
date, time, place and subject matter of any hearing to be

earlier date. Witnesses shall provide a written statement of 
their testimony and curriculum vitae to the Committee at least 
24 hours preceding the hearings in as many copies as the

    2. In the event 14 calendar days' notice of a hearing has 
been made, any witness appearing before the Committee, 
including any witnesses representing a Government agency, must 
file with the Committee at least 48 hours preceding appearance

of the Committee and each Subcommittee thereof, now or 
hereafter appointed, shall consist of one Senator.

IV. BRINGING A MATTER TO A VOTE

bring a matter before the Committee to a vote. If there is 
objection to bring the matter to a vote without further debate,

affirmative, one of which must be cast by the minority.

agenda is given, and the text of the proposed bill or 
resolution has been made available at least seven calendar days 
in advance, it shall not be in order for the Committee to
