Administration of the press galleries shall be vested in a Standing Committee of Cor- respondents elected by accredited members of the galleries. The Committee shall consist of five persons elected to serve for terms of two years. Provided, however, that at the election in January 1951, the three candidates receiving the highest number of votes shall serve for two years and the remaining two for one year. Thereafter, three members shall be elected in odd-numbered years and two in even-numbered years. Elections shall be held in January. The Committee shall elect its own chairman and secretary. Vacancies on the Committee shall be filled by special election to be called by the Standing Committee. 2. Persons desiring admission to the press galleries of Congress shall make application in accordance with Rule VI of the House of Representatives, subject to the direction and control of the Speaker and Rule 33 of the Senate, which rules shall be interpreted and administered by the Standing Committee of Correspondents, subject to the review and an approval by the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration. *Information is based on data furnished and edited by each respective gallery. 969 970 Congressional Directory 3. The Standing Committee of Correspondents shall limit membership in the press galleries to bone fide correspondents of repute in their profession, under such rules as the Standing Committee of Correspondents shall prescribe. 4. An applicant for press credentials through the Daily Press Galleries must establish to the satisfaction of the Standing Committee of Correspondents that he or she is a full- time, paid correspondent who requires on-site access to congressional members and staff. Correspondents must be employed by a news organization: (a) with General Publication periodicals mailing privileges under U.S. Postal Service rules, and which publishes daily; or (b) whose principal business is the daily dissemination of original news and opinion of interest to a broad segment of the public, and which has published continuously for 18 months. The applicant must reside in the Washington, D.C. area, and must not be engaged in any lobbying or paid advocacy, advertising, publicity or promotion work for any individual, political party, corporation, organization, or agency of the U.S. government, or in prosecuting any claim before Congress or any federal government department, and will not do so while a member of the Daily Press Galleries. Applicants’ publications must be editorially independent of any institution, foundation or interest group that lobbies the federal government, or that is not principally a general news organization. Failure to provide information to the Standing Committee for this determination, or misrepre- senting information, can result in the denial or revocation of credentials. 5. Members of the families of correspondents are not entitled to the privileges of the galleries. 6. The Standing Committee of Correspondents shall propose no changes in these rules except upon petition in writing signed by not less than 100 accredited members of the galleries. The above rules have been approved by the Committee on Rules and Administration. JOHN A. BOEHNER, Speaker of the House of Representatives. CHARLES E.

    Media inquiries: Véronique Rodman 202.862.4871 ([email protected]) Orders: 1.800.462.6420 or 1.717.794.3800 IN OUR HANDS: A PLAN TO REPLACE THE WELFARE STATE By Charles Murray With his new book, In Our Hands: A Plan to Replace the Welfare State, Charles Murray offers a radical solution to the problems of the entitlement system: get rid of it entirely and give $10,000 a year to every American adult. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 25, 2006 The AEI Press Charles Murray offers a plan that would eliminate all income transfer programs at the federal, state, and local levels—including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, and corporate subsidies—and would substitute an annual cash grant of $10,000 for life, beginning at age twenty-one. Murray argues that “the Plan” would end poverty, allow all Americans access to health care, and empower people to control their own lives. Murray’s book describes the financial feasibility of his ideas and their effect on retirement, health care, poverty, marriage and family, work, neighborhoods, and the larger civil society. In his seminal 1984 book Losing Ground, Murray sparked national debate by arguing that the social programs of the Great Society not only failed to help the poor and disadvan- taged, but also made things worse. Now, Murray has written a book that is, in his own words, “not a book about poverty. It’s about building a society in which people can run their own lives.” Once again, Charles Murray is ahead of his time: • Today, about 36 million people are below the poverty line.
