The Committee on Rules may meet the week of November 18th to provide for floor consideration of H.R. 4278.

Please note that staff must be on the House network, either physically or remotely via virtual private network (VPN), in order to access the online submission form.

Additionally, Members should consult with the Office of the Parliamentarian and the Committee on the Budget to be certain their amendments comply with the rules of the House and the Congressional Budget Act.
