ƐƚŚŝƐLJĞĂƌ͛ƐŚŽƐƚ͕ƚŚĞ^ĞŶĂƚĞWƌĞƐŝĚĞŶƚhas  asked  that  conference  committee  chairs  avoid  meeting  
during  pre-­‐scheduled  Floor  sessions  or  standing  committee  meetings.    I  would  ask  House  Members  to  
respect  that  request.    Members  should  anticipate  the  House  recessing  from  scheduled  Floor  session  
each  day  this  week  from  12:15  p.m.  until  1:15  p.m.  to  allow  time  for  conference  meetings.    Conference  
committee  members  should  also  anticipate  morning  and  evening  meetings  outside  of  our  scheduled  
Floor  session.
