the gentleman from florida. mr. hastings: thank you. house resolution 1537 waives the requirement of clause 6-a of rule 13 requiring a 2/3 vote to consider a rule on the same day it is reported from the rules committee. this would allow for the same day consideration of any resolution reported through the legislative day of july 23, 2010, relating to consideration or disposition of a measure addressing unemployment compensation. finally, the resolution allows the speaker to entertain motions to suspend the rules through the legislative day of july 23, 2010. the speaker or her designee shall consult with the minority leader or his designee on the designation of any matter for consideration pursuant to this section. these are not unusual procedures as some of my colleagues on the other want to argue. i want to point out in the 109th congress the republican majority reported at least 21 rules that allowed the same day consideration. in fact, five of those rules waived this requirement against any rule reported from the
