Rule VI House of Representatives

The sixth of the current rules of the House of Representatives deals with Official Reporters (1) and the Galleries set aside for the News Media (2, 3). The Standing Committee of Correspondents for the Press Gallery, and the Executive Committee of Correspondents for the Periodical Press Gallery. The House Radio-TV Gallery caters for the broadcast media. There is a useful resource for members of the press - which is available here.

The Official Reporters, according to the House Clerk, transcribe House proceedings verbatim for publication in the Congressional Record and provides stenographic support to committees for all hearings, meetings, and mark-up sessions.
