Memorandum July 10, 2008

SUBJECT: The “Clearance Process” in the Senate and Measures Approved in the 110th Congress through June 30, 2008

FROM: Elizabeth Rybicki Analyst on the Congress and the Legislative Process Government and Finance Division

This memorandum responds to multiple congressional requests for information on measures approved by the Senate in the 110th Congress.1 More specifically, it provides a list of measures that were passed or agreed to by unanimous consent with little or no debate on the Senate floor. A series of attachments to this memorandum provides output data from the Legislative Information System (LIS) for each of the categories developed for response to the congressional inquiries. As the data in the attachments make clear, the vast majority of measures passed or agreed to by the Senate so far in the 110th Congress have not received formal parliamentary debate on the floor of the Senate.

This memorandum first describes longstanding Senate practices for disposing of legislation without floor debate. It then discusses the method used to identify measures that the Senate appears to have approved through this practice. The attachments to this memorandum identify measures that were disposed of by: 1) roll call vote after floor debate on the measure; 2) voice vote after floor debate on the measure; 3) unanimous consent the same day the measure was received from the House or introduced or submitted in the Senate; 4) unanimous consent on a subsequent day with no floor debate; 5) unanimous consent on a subsequent day with at least some floor debate on the measure; and 6) unanimous consent without floor debate on the particular bill being passed, but after floor debate on a related bill, such as with a House bill passed in lieu of a Senate bill. Table 1 precedes the attachments and displays the total number of bills passed and the total number of resolutions agreed to in each of the six categories so far during of the 110th Congress.

The attachments present information for all of the types of measure used by Congress: bills (S.and H.R.); joint resolutions (S. J. Res. and H.J. Res.); concurrent resolutions (S. Con.

Res. and H. Con. Res.) and simple resolutions (S. Res. and H. Res.). Bills and joint resolutions must pass both chambers and be signed by the President to become law. Concurrent resolutions do not become law but must be agreed to by both chambers. Simple resolutions are acted upon only by their chamber of origin and do not become law.2

Clearance Process in the Senate

It is often possible for the Senate to approve a measure by unanimous consent, with few or no amendments and with virtually no discussion. Nearly every day the Senate is in session, the majority and minority leaders consult to identify bills and resolutions that have been “cleared” by the Senators in both parties. A measure is considered cleared if no Senator has responded to a party leadership request to inform leadership that he or she is opposed to passage of the measure without debate.

To clear measures for passage, party leaders contact each Senate office, relying in part on an automated telephone system known as the “hotline.” Every Senate office has a telephone line dedicated to receiving recorded messages from the Democratic and Republican Cloakrooms. Sometimes the messages, similar for both parties, state that the party leader would like unanimous consent for the Senate to call up and approve a measure.3 If a Senator is opposed to passing or agreeing to the measure in the stated time frame and without floor debate, the recorded message directs the office to contact the appropriate party cloakroom.

The telephone hotline helps leadership inform Senators of measures intended to be proposed for approval by unanimous consent. Senators also sometimes discuss measures among themselves in informal settings. Requests to put measures on the hotline often originate with committee leaders or sponsors of measures, and these Senators and their staff work to inform their colleagues of measures proposed to be cleared and, when necessary, to negotiate changes to the legislation. The nature and extent of these informal, private discussions that take place prior to inclusion of the legislation on the hotline cannot be quantified.

Once a group of measures has been cleared, the majority leader or his designee seeks recognition on the Senate floor and asks for unanimous consent to call up and pass them, either in sequence or en bloc, usually identifying the measures by their bill number as well as by their legislative calendar order number. The leader also proposes at this time any amendments on which the interested Senators may have agreed in advance. Action on these amendments also may occur by unanimous consent, often as part of the same unanimous consent request by which the measure is called up and passed. Each measure is called up and passed in a matter of minutes or less. There usually is no debate, although Senators

Beth and CRS Report 98-706, Bills and Resolutions: Examples of How Each Kind is Used, by Richard S. Beth. 3 This is not the only use of the hotline. Leadership messages might also, for example, state that unanimous consent is sought for a time agreement on a particular measure. CRS-3

sometimes briefly describe the measure and may have statements inserted in the Congressional Record.4

Method of Data Collection

Congressional staffers have asked for a list of measures that were passed or agreed to by unanimous consent with little or no debate on the Senate floor. Any such measures were almost certainly approved through the Senate clearance process, but “cleared” is not a formal parliamentary step identified in the Senate Journal or in the legislative data compiled by the Senate clerks. It was therefore necessary to determine, from the LIS, how each of the 911 measures approved so far in the 110th Congress was disposed of by the Senate and then, in some cases, to examine the Congressional Record to identify those on which at least some debate took place.

When it is time for final disposition of a measure, the Senate decides the question in one of three ways. Sometimes the Senate decides the question by roll call vote. Sometimes, instead, the Senate will decide the question of final passage by a voice vote. Most often, the Senate disposes of a measure by unanimous consent.

The LIS database identifies measures disposed of by roll call vote. Attachment 1 lists the LIS output data for the 53 measures the Senate approved by roll call vote so far in the 110th Congress. According to the LIS, the Senate has disposed of three measures by voice vote so far in the 110th Congress, identified in Attachment 2. The measures in Attachments 1 and 2 were debated on the Senate floor.

The Senate has approved 855 additional measures by unanimous consent so far in the 110th Congress. It cannot, however, be assumed that all of these measures were approved through the clearance process with little or no debate on the Senate floor. For example, sometimes, after a bill has been debated on the floor, the majority leader or a floor manager will ask unanimous consent that the bill be read a third time and passed.5

In response to congressional requests, the Congressional Research Service has attempted to distinguish between measures approved by unanimous consent with little or no floor debate and those approved after some floor discussion. The LIS database identifies measures that were approved by unanimous consent the same day they were introduced (Senate bill or joint resolution), submitted (Senate simple or concurrent resolution), or received (House bill or resolution). In these cases, one could assume that the measure did not receive lengthy debate on the floor because the measure was approved the same day it was available. Attachment 3 lists the LIS output data for the 388 measures that the Senate approved by unanimous consent, with or without amendment, on the same day they were

4 This description of the clearance process adapts passages from archived CRS Report 97-368, Senate Procedure: A Summary, January 12, 2001, by Stanley Bach, p. 16. 5 Sometimes after floor debate the chair will ask whether there is any objection to passage of the measure and, if none is heard, declare the measure passed without objection. Although this action is formally equivalent to passage by voice vote, the Legislative Information System (and therefore this memorandum) does not distinguish this form of disposition from approval by unanimous consent. For more information, see CRS Report 98-227, Voting in the Senate: Forms and Requirements, by Walter Oleszek. CRS-4 introduced, submitted, or received. The majority of these measures, 346 (89%), were simple or concurrent resolutions.

In all other cases in which the LIS indicated a measure was approved by unanimous consent (but not on the same day it was made available to the Senate) it was necessary to examine the Congressional Record at the time of the approval of the measure to determine whether any floor statement was made. Attachment 4 identifies the 381 measures the Senate has approved, with or without amendment, by unanimous consent and without any floor debate. In the overwhelming majority of these cases, it is likely that the floor action reflects a process of clearance. A little less than half of these measures,169 (44%), were simple or concurrent resolutions.

If any Senator made a statement at the time the measure was approved, even if it was an extremely brief explanation of the legislation, then the measure was listed in Attachment 5. Inclusion in this list is not necessarily an indication of lengthy debate, and in fact it is likely that some of these measures were cleared through the telephone hotline. Attachment 5 lists 77 measures as having passed by unanimous consent with at least some discussion.

It was also necessary to examine the Congressional Record at the time of passage to determine whether the measure was a House-originated bill passed by unanimous consent after floor debate on a related Senate measure. On major legislative issues, the House and the Senate typically pursue parallel consideration with the respective committees of jurisdiction usually each reporting separate bills. In these cases, it is common for one house initially to consider the bill reported by its own committee, but then ultimately pass the companion bill already received from the other chamber. If the House bill in such cases is passed by unanimous consent, it is likely because the companion Senate bill has been debated already and, further, that the next expected legislative step is creation of a conference committee. Attachment 6 identifies the nine House bills the Senate passed by unanimous consent without debate, but only after amending the House bill to strike its entire text and insert the text of a Senate-originated bill on the same subject that had previously received floor debate in its own right.
