Under the Committee rules,
as amended for the 109th Congress, the Rules and the Organization
of the House subcommittee will have general responsibility for
measures or matters related to relations between the two Houses
of Congress, relations between the Congress and the Judiciary,
and internal operations of the House.
This subcommittee has the primary responsibility for the continued
examination of the committee structure and jurisdictional issues
of all House Committees.
In the past, the subcommittee has considered measures dealing
with "fast track" procedures for consideration of
trade legislation, prohibitions on unfunded mandates, the recodification
of the rules of the House, issues relating to a 21st century
Congress and the impact of technology on the process and procedures
of the House.
