    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The House will agree with us that it used to be very untidy when we went on recess and the Speaker was forced to recall the House for Bills to be read the First Time and we again adjourn for recess, or when a communication is made that a nomination had been made by the President and the matter was referred to the Committee and then the House adjourned again because when the House reconvened during recess, it could only deal with the matter that caused it to be reconvened. In order to save time and allow those processes to continue even when the House is on recess, we are giving the Speaker authority to communicate those Messages directly to the relevant committees. They will deal with public hearing and participation on Bills, Presidential appointments if any, Communication from the Senate, the Division of Revenue Act (DORA) and CARA Bills. When we come back, the public hearing stage would have been concluded and the Committee would have prepared a report and we immediately resume. This is something we have recently adopted and I think it makes a lot of sense. I urge the House to agree with us."
