at least one member from each party.
  5.3 Reporting.--A majority of the membership of the committee shall

the public, provided that every member is polled and every poll consists 
of the following two questions:

  (2) Do you favor or oppose the proposal.
  If any member requests, any matter to be polled shall be held for 
meeting rather than being polled. The chief clerk of the committee shall 
keep a record of all polls.
