This period provides a rare opportunity for non-legislative debate in the House; remarks in the House are usually limited to pending legislative business. During morning hour debates, individual Members deliver speeches on topics of their choice for up to five minutes. The majority and minority leaders give the Speaker a list showing how each party's time for morning hour debates will be allocated among its Members. The chair follows this list in recognizing Members for morning hour debates. At the conclusion of morning hour debates, the House recesses until the starting time for that day's session. This report examines current House practices for morning hour debates and how these debates are used. It will be updated if rules and procedures change. 606 $aDebates and debating 615 0$aDebates and debating. 676 $a808.53 700 $aSchneider$b Judy$01361327 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910714568903321 996 $aMorning Hour Debates$93379625 997 $aUNINA
