On all other days of the week, the Chair may recognize Members for special-order speeches up to four hours after the conclusion of five-minute special- order speeches. Such speeches may not extend beyond the four-hour limit without the permission of the Chair, which may be granted only with advance consultation between the leaderships and notification to the House. However, at no time shall the Chair recognize for any special-order speeches beyond midnight. The Chair will first recognize Members for five-minute special-order speeches, alter- nating initially and subsequently between the parties, regardless of the date the order was granted by the House. The Chair will then recognize longer special-orders speeches. A Member recognized for a five-minute special-order speech may not be recognized for a longer special-order speech. The four-hour limitation will be divided between the majority and minority parties. Each party is entitled to reserve its first hour for respective leaderships or their designees. Recognition will alternate initially and subsequently between the parties each day. The allocation of time within each party’s two-hour period (or shorter period if pro- rated to end by midnight) is to be determined by a list submitted to the Chair by the respective leaderships. Members may not sign up with their leadership for any special-order speeches earlier than one week prior to the special-order, and additional guidelines may be established for such sign-ups by the respective leader- ships. Pursuant to clause 2(a) of rule V, the television cameras will not pan the Chamber, but a ‘‘crawl indicating morning hour or that the House has completed its legislative business and is proceeding with special-order speeches will appear on the screen. Other television camera adaptations during this period may be announced by the Chair. The continuation of this format for recognition by the Speaker is without prejudice to the Speaker’s ultimate power of recognition under clause 2 of rule XVII should circumstances so warrant. (Agreed to Jan. 3, 2001.)
