Title: HOUSE RULES CHANGES AFFECTING FLOOR PROCEEDINGS IN THE 107TH CONGRESS
Authors: Stanley Bach, Government and Finance Division 
Abstract: On the first day of the 107th Congress, the House agreed to H.Res. 5, making six substantive changes affecting its floor proceedings. These amendments facilitate use of the Corrections Calendar and voting on amendments in Committee of the Whole. They also limit votes relating to use of exhibits on the floor, and bar motions to instruct containing argument as well as proposals to name public works after sitting members of either house. Finally, the rule providing for the House to agree to change the public debt ceiling without a separate floor vote was repealed.
