RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR THE COMMITTEE ON HEALTH, EDUCATION, LABOR, AND
PENSIONS
(As agreed to January 31, 2007)
Rule 1.--Subject to the provisions of rule XXVI, paragraph 5, of the
Standing Rules of the Senate, regular meetings of the committee shall be
held on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month, at 10:00 a.m., in
room SD-430, Dirksen Senate Office Building. The chairman may, upon
proper notice, call such additional meetings as he may deem necessary.
Rule 2.--The chairman of the committee or of a subcommittee, or if
the chairman is not present, the ranking majority member present, shall
preside at all meetings. The chairman may designate the ranking minority
member to preside at hearings of the committee or subcommittee.
Rule 3.--Meetings of the committee or a subcommittee, including
meetings to conduct hearings, shall be open to the public except as
otherwise specifically provided in subsections (b) and (d) of rule 26.5
of the Standing Rules of the Senate.
Rule 4.--(a) Subject to paragraph (b), one-third of the membership
of the committee, actually present, shall constitute a quorum for the
purpose of transacting business. Any quorum of the committee which is
composed of less than a majority of the members of the committee shall
include at least one member of the majority and one member of the
minority.
(b) A majority of the members of a subcommittee, actually present,
shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of transacting business:
provided, no measure or matter shall be ordered reported unless such
majority shall include at least one member of the minority who is a
member of the subcommittee. If, at any subcommittee meeting, a measure
or matter cannot be ordered reported because of the absence of such a
minority member, the measure or matter shall lay over for a day. If the
presence of a member of the minority is not then obtained, a majority of
the members of the subcommittee, actually present, may order such
measure or matter reported.
(c) No measure or matter shall be ordered reported from the
committee or a subcommittee unless a majority of the committee or
subcommittee is actually present at the time such action is taken.
Rule 5.--With the approval of the chairman of the committee or
subcommittee, one member thereof may conduct public hearings other than
taking sworn testimony.
Rule 6.--Proxy voting shall be allowed on all measures and matters
before the committee or a subcommittee if the absent member has been
informed of the matter on which he is being recorded and has
affirmatively requested that he be so recorded. While proxies may be
voted on a motion to report a measure or matter from the committee, such
a motion shall also require the concurrence of a majority of the members
who are actually present at the time such action is taken.
The committee may poll any matters of committee business as a matter
of unanimous consent; provided that every member is polled and every
poll consists of the following two questions:
(1) Do you agree or disagree to poll the proposal; and
(2) Do you favor or oppose the proposal.
Rule 7.--There shall be prepared and kept a complete transcript or
electronic recording adequate to fully record the proceedings of each
committee or subcommittee meeting or conference whether or not such
meetings or any part thereof is closed pursuant to the specific
provisions of subsections (b) and (d) of rule 26.5 of the Standing Rules
of the Senate, unless a majority of said members vote to forgo such a
record. Such records shall contain the vote cast by each member of the
committee or subcommittee on any question on which a ``yea and nay''
vote is demanded, and shall be available for inspection by any committee
member. The clerk of the committee, or the clerk's designee, shall have
the responsibility to make appropriate arrangements to implement this
rule.
Rule 8.--The committee and each subcommittee shall undertake,
consistent with the provisions of rule XXVI, paragraph 4, of the
Standing Rules of the Senate, to issue public announcement of any
hearing it intends to hold at least one week prior to the commencement
of such hearing.
Rule 9.--The committee or a subcommittee shall require all witnesses
heard before it to file written statements of their proposed testimony
at least 24 hours before a hearing, unless the chairman and the ranking
minority member determine that there is good cause for failure to so
file, and to limit their oral presentation to brief summaries of their
arguments. The presiding officer at any hearing is authorized to limit
the time of each witness appearing before the committee or a
subcommittee. The committee or a subcommittee shall, as far as
practicable, utilize testimony previously taken on bills and measures
similar to those before it for consideration.
Rule 10.--Should a subcommittee fail to report back to the full
committee on any measure within a reasonable time, the chairman may
withdraw the measure from such subcommittee and report that fact to the
full committee for further disposition.
Rule 11.--No subcommittee may schedule a meeting or hearing at a
time designated for a hearing or meeting of the full committee. No more
than one subcommittee executive meeting may be held at the same time.
Rule 12.--It shall be the duty of the chairman in accordance with
section 133(c) of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, as
amended, to report or cause to be reported to the Senate, any measure or
recommendation approved by the committee and to take or cause to be
taken, necessary steps to bring the matter to a vote in the Senate.
Rule 13.--Whenever a meeting of the committee or subcommittee is
closed pursuant to the provisions of subsection (b) or (d) of rule 26.5
of the Standing Rules of the Senate, no person other than members of the
committee, members of the staff of the committee, and designated
assistants to members of the committee shall be permitted to attend such
closed session, except by special dispensation of the committee or
subcommittee or the chairman thereof.
Rule 14.--The chairman of the committee or a subcommittee shall be
empowered to adjourn any meeting of the committee or a subcommittee if a
quorum is not present within fifteen minutes of the time schedule for
such meeting.
Rule 15.--Whenever a bill or joint resolution repealing or amending
any statute or part thereof shall be before the committee or a
subcommittee for final consideration, the clerk shall place before each
member of the committee or subcommittee a print of the statute or the
part or section thereof to be amended or replaced showing by stricken-
through type, the part or parts to be omitted and in italics, the matter
proposed to be added, if a member makes a timely request for such print.
Rule 16.--An appropriate opportunity shall be given the minority to
examine the proposed text of committee reports prior to their filing or
publication. In the event there are supplemental, minority, or
additional views, an appropriate opportunity shall be given the majority
to examine the proposed text prior to filing or publication. Unless the
chairman and ranking minority member agree on a shorter period of time,
the minority shall have no fewer than three business days to prepare
supplemental, minority or additional views for inclusion in a committee
report from the time the majority makes the proposed text of the
committee report available to the minority.
Rule 17.--(a) The committee, or any subcommittee, may issue
subpoenas, or hold hearings to take sworn testimony or hear subpoenaed
witnesses, only if such investigative activity has been authorized by
majority vote of the committee.
(b) For the purpose of holding a hearing to take sworn testimony or
hear subpoenaed witnesses, three members of the committee or
subcommittee shall constitute a quorum: provided, with the concurrence
of the chairman and ranking minority member of the committee or
subcommittee, a single member may hear subpoenaed witnesses or take
sworn testimony.
(c) The committee may, by a majority vote, delegate the authority to
issue subpoenas to the chairman of the committee or a subcommittee, or
to any member designated by such chairman. Prior to the issuance of each
subpoena, the ranking minority member of the committee or subcommittee,
and any other member so requesting, shall be notified regarding the
identity of the person to whom it will be issued and the nature of the
information sought and its relationship to the authorized investigative
activity, except where the chairman of the committee or subcommittee, in
consultation with the ranking minority member, determines that such
notice would unduly impede the investigation. All information obtained
pursuant to such investigative activity shall be made available as
promptly as possible to each member of the committee requesting same, or
to any assistant to a member of the committee designated by such member
in writing, but the use of any such information is subject to
restrictions imposed by the rules of the Senate. Such information, to
the extent that it is relevant to the investigation shall, if requested
by a member, be summarized in writing as soon as practicable. Upon the
request of any member, the chairman of the committee or subcommittee
shall call an executive session to discuss such investigative activity
or the issuance of any subpoena in connection therewith.
(d) Any witness summoned to testify at a hearing, or any witness
giving sworn testimony, may be accompanied by counsel of his own
choosing who shall be permitted, while the witness is testifying, to
advise him of his legal rights.
(e) No confidential testimony taken or confidential material
presented in an executive hearing, or any report of the proceedings of
such an executive hearing, shall be made public, either in whole or in
part or by way of summary, unless authorized by a majority of the
members of the committee or subcommittee.
Rule 18.--Presidential nominees shall submit a statement of their
background and financial interests, including the financial interests of
their spouse and children living in their household, on a form approved
by the committee which shall be sworn to as to its completeness and
accuracy. The committee form shall be in two parts--
(I) information relating to employment, education and background
of the nominee relating to the position to which the individual is
nominated, and which is to be made public; and,
(II) information relating to financial and other background of
the nominee, to be made public when the committee determines that
such information bears directly on the nominee's qualifications to
hold the position to which the individual is nominated.
Information relating to background and financial interests (parts I
and II) shall not be required of (a) candidates for appointment and
promotion in the Public Health Service Corps; and (b) nominees for less
than full-time appointments to councils, commissions or boards when the
committee determines that some or all of the information is not relevant
to the nature of the position. Information relating to other background
and financial interests (part II) shall not be required of any nominee
when the committee determines that it is not relevant to the nature of
the position.
Committee action on a nomination, including hearings or meetings to
consider a motion to recommend confirmation, shall not be initiated
until at least five days after the nominee submits the form required by
this rule unless the chairman, with the concurrence of the ranking
minority member, waives this waiting period.
Rule 19.--Subject to statutory requirements imposed on the committee
with respect to procedure, the rules of the committee may be changed,
modified, amended or suspended at any time; provided, not less than a
majority of the entire membership so determine at a regular meeting with
due notice, or at a meeting specifically called for that purpose.
Rule 20.--When the ratio of members on the committee is even, the
term ``majority'' as used in the committee's rules and guidelines shall
refer to the party of the chairman for purposes of party identification.
Numerical requirements for quorums, votes and the like shall be
unaffected.
Rule 21.--First degree amendments must be filed with the chairman at
least 24 hours before an executive session. The chairman shall promptly
distribute all filed amendments to the members of the committee. The
chairman may modify the filing requirements to meet special
circumstances with the concurrence of the ranking minority member.
Rule 22.--In addition to the foregoing, the proceedings of the
committee shall be governed by the Standing Rules of the Senate and the
provisions of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, as amended.
[Excerpts from the Standing Rules of the Senate]

RULE XXVI
COMMITTEE PROCEDURE
1. Each standing committee, including any subcommittee of any such
committee, is authorized to hold such hearings, to sit and act at such
times and places during the sessions, recesses, and adjourned periods of
the Senate, to require by subpoena or otherwise the attendance of such
witnesses and the production of such correspondence, books, papers, and
documents, to take such testimony and to make such expenditures out of
the contingent fund of the Senate as may be authorized by resolutions of
the Senate. Each such committee may make investigations into any matter
within its jurisdiction, may report such hearings as may be had by it,
and may employ stenographic assistance at a cost not exceeding the
amount prescribed by the Committee on Rules and Administration.\2\ The
expenses of the committee shall be paid from the contingent fund of the
Senate upon vouchers approved by the chairman.
5. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the rules, when the
Senate is in session, no committee of the Senate or any subcommittee
thereof may meet, without special leave, after the conclusion of the
first two hours after the meeting of the Senate commenced and in no case
after two o'clock postmeridian unless consent therefor has been obtained
from the majority leader and the minority leader (or in the event of the
absence of either of such leaders, from his designee). The prohibition
contained in the preceding sentence shall not apply to the Committee on
Appropriations or the Committee on the Budget. The majority leader or
his designee shall announce to the Senate whenever consent has been
given under this subparagraph and shall state the time and place of such
meeting. The right to make such announcement of consent shall have the
same priority as the filing of a cloture motion.
(b) Each meeting of a committee, or any subcommittee thereof,
including meetings to conduct hearings, shall be open to the public,
except that a meeting or series of meetings by a committee or a
subcommittee thereof on the same subject for a period of no more than
fourteen calendar days may be closed to the public on a motion made and
seconded to go into closed session to discuss only whether the matters
enumerated in clauses (1) through (6) would require the meeting to be
closed, followed immediately by a record vote in open session by a
majority of the members of the committee or subcommittee when it is
determined that the matters to be discussed or the testimony to be taken
at such meeting or meetings--
(1) will disclose matters necessary to be kept secret in the
interests of national defense or the confidential conduct of the
foreign relations of the United States;
(2) will relate solely to matters of committee staff personnel
or internal staff management or procedure;
(3) will tend to charge an individual with crime or
misconduct, to disgrace or injure the professional standing of an
individual, or otherwise to expose an individual to public contempt
or obloquy or will represent a clearly unwarranted invasion of the
privacy of an individual;
(4) will disclose the identity of any informer or law
enforcement agent or will disclose any information relating to the
investigation or prosecution of a criminal offense that is required
to be kept secret in the interests of effective law enforcement;
(5) will disclose information relating to the trade secrets of
financial or commercial information pertaining specifically to a
given person if--
(A) an Act of Congress requires the information to be kept
confidential by Government officers and employees; or
(B) the information has been obtained by the Government on a
confidential basis, other than through an application by such person for
a specific Government financial or other benefit, and is required to be
kept secret in order to prevent undue injury to the competitive position
of such person; or
(6) may divulge matters required to be kept confidential under
other provisions of law or Government regulations.
(c) Whenever any hearing conducted by any such committee or
subcommittee is open to the public, that hearing may be broadcast by

to the public, or any demonstration of approval or disapproval is
indulged in by any person in attendance of any such meeting, it shall be
the duty of the Chair to enforce order on his own initiative and without
any point of order being made by a Senator. When the Chair finds it
necessary to maintain order, he shall have the power to clear the room,
and the committee may act in closed session for so long as there is
doubt of the assurance of order.
(e) Each committee shall prepare and keep a complete transcript or
electronic recording adequate to fully record the proceeding of each
meeting or conference whether or not such meeting or any part thereof is
closed under this paragraph, unless a majority of its members vote to
forgo such a record.
GUIDELINES OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON HEALTH, EDUCATION, LABOR, AND
PENSIONS
WITH RESPECT TO HEARINGS, MARKUP SESSIONS, AND RELATED MATTERS
Hearings
Section 133A(a) of the Legislative Reorganization Act requires each
committee of the Senate to publicly announce the date, place, and
subject matter of any hearing at least one week prior to the
commencement of such hearing.
The spirit of this requirement is to assure adequate notice to the
public and other Members of the Senate as to the time and subject matter
of proposed hearings. In the spirit of section 133A(a) and in order to
assure that members of the committee are themselves fully informed and
involved in the development of hearings:
1. Public notice of the date, place, and subject matter of
each committee or subcommittee hearing should be inserted in the
Congressional Record seven days prior to the commencement of such
hearing.
2. At least seven days prior to public notice of each
committee or subcommittee hearing, the majority should provide
notice to the minority of the time, place and specific subject
matter of such hearing.
3. At least three days prior to the date of such hearing, the
committee or subcommittee should provide to each member a list of
witnesses who have been or are proposed to be invited to appear.
4. The committee and its subcommittee should, to the maximum
feasible extent, enforce the provisions of rule 9 of the committee
rules as it relates to the submission of written statements of
witnesses twenty-four hours in advance of a hearing. Witnesses will
be urged to submit testimony even earlier whenever possible. When
statements are received in advance of a hearing, the committee or
subcommittee (as appropriate) should distribute copies of such
statements to each of its members. Witness testimony may be
submitted and distributed electronically.
Executive Sessions for the Purpose of Marking Up Bills
In order to expedite the process of marking up bills and to assist
each member of the committee so that there may be full and fair
consideration of each bill which the committee or a subcommittee is
marking up the following procedures should be followed:
1. Seven days prior to the proposed date for an executive session
for the purpose of marking up bills the committee or subcommittee (as
appropriate) should provide written notice to each of its members as to
the time, place, and specific subject matter of such session, including
an agenda listing each bill or other matters to be considered and
including:
(a) a copy of each bill, joint resolution, or other
legislative matter (or committee print thereof) to be considered at
such executive session; and
(b) a copy of a summary of the provisions of each bill, joint
resolution, or other legislative matter to be considered at such
executive session including, whenever possible, an explanation of
changes to existing law proposed to be made.
2. Insofar as practical, prior to the scheduled date for an
executive session for the purpose of marking up bills, the committee or
a subcommittee (as appropriate) should provide each member with a copy
of the printed record or a summary of any hearings conducted by the
committee or a subcommittee with respect to each bill, joint resolution,
or other legislative matter to be considered at such executive session.
