HOUSE AND SENATE PROCEEDINGS

This section contains the daily opening of each house, followed by "morning business" (Senate) or "one minute speeches" (House). (The Record follows the order of business on the Floor- one minutes postponed in the morning will appear in the Record at the time they are given.) These are usually followed by debate on bills or resolutions. This section also contains record or voice votes on amendments, passage, or tabling of measures considered on the Floor. The House and Senate portions of the Record also contain lists of measures reported out of committees and lists of measures introduced, their original sponsors and the committee(s) to which the measure has been referred. Both the House and Senate sections also contain: lists of appointees to conference committees; messages from one House to the other; Presidential messages; executive communications and petitions and memorials.
