Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives

Whereas an estimated 100 unfunded mandates are enacted

Whereas State, county, and municipal governments are facing
increased financial burdens due to the proliferation of
Federal mandates and decreasing Federal funds to pay
for these requirements; and
Whereas unfunded Federal mandates are estimated to cost
the American public more than $430,000,000,000 annu-

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OCTOBER 19, 1993
Mr. ROEMER (for himself, Ms. DUNN, Ms. SHEPHERD, Mr. ALLARD, and Mr.
FINGERHUT) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to
the Committee on Rules
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House that a schedule should
be adopted to require three consecutive 5-day work weeks
per month.
Whereas the profound uncertainty of the current scheduling
of legislative activity in the House of Representatives dis-
rupts the legislative process and the efficient workings of
the House of Representatives in ways that make changes
imperative;
Whereas taxpayer dollars are not being utilized as effectively
as they could in the administration of the duties and
scheduling of the House of Representatives;
Whereas the current schedule makes it difficult to conduct
committee hearings and meetings while the House is in
•HRES 280 IH
session, disrupting the coordination of legislative activity
and the fulfillment of Congress’ oversight responsibilities;
Whereas the current schedule often provides inadequate time
for the thoughtful consideration of the Nation’s impor-
tant business;
Whereas scheduling floor votes at the beginning and end of
the week, having recorded committee attendance and
votes, and using computer scheduling could improve com-
mittee attendance and reduce conflicts resulting from si-
multaneous committee meetings; and
Whereas a more predictable and organized schedule would
allow Members to use their time more effectively with
both their constituents and their families: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that a formal schedule should be adopted of
three consecutive 5-day work weeks for legislative business
in Washington, followed by a week in which Members may
attend to important matters in their districts.
