Ms. Pelosi submitted the following resolution; which was laid on the
table

RESOLUTION

Relating to a question of the privileges of the House.

Whereas during a meeting of the Committee on Ways and Means on July 18, 2003,
for the consideration of the bill H.R. 1776, the chairman of the
Committee on Ways and Means offered an amendment in the nature of a
substitute;
Whereas during the reading of that amendment the chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee directed majority staff of the committee to ask the United
States Capitol Police to remove minority-party members of the committee
from a room of the committee during the meeting, causing the United
States Capitol Police thereupon to confront the minority-party members
of the committee; and
Whereas pending a unanimous consent request to dispense with the reading of that
amendment the chairman deliberately and improperly refused to recognize
a legitimate and timely objection by a member of the committee: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives disapproves of the
manner in which Representative Thomas summoned the United States
Capitol Police to evict minority party members of the Committee on Ways
and Means from the committee library, as well as the manner in which he
conducted the markup of legislation in the Committee on Ways and Means
on July 18, 2003, and finds that the bill considered at that markup was
not validly ordered reported to the House, and calls for the police
report to be placed in the Congressional Record.
