meeting, and questions may be asked only by members of the 
Committee, its consultants, and staff. Persons desiring to make oral

appropriate arrangements can be made to allow the necessary time 
during the meeting for such statements. Use of still, motion 
picture, and television cameras during this meeting may be limited 
to selected portions of the meeting as determined by the Chairman. 
Information regarding the time to be set aside for this purpose may

the meeting has been cancelled or rescheduled, the Chairman's ruling 
on requests for the opportunity to present oral statements and the
