filing old business

The administration has created a list of items that have been answered but not yet filed, requesting that they be filed.
suggestion of a new rule from the chair: Anything that goes to subcommittee and sits there for 18 months, it automatically gets filed (without prejudice, so the member can refile the item) (if the item is actively being debated, it obviously does not get filed). He adds "or referred to administration"
"it is incumbent on the chair of each committee to keep moving on these items" Monfredo
Some concern from O'Connell, Monfredo on this idea
it also has been the past practice (unofficially, of course) of some previous administrations to ignore items to which it has no intention of responding...though I will add, as I did from the floor, that such is not the case with the current administration.

And that's it! Meeting next week, September 2, starts at 7pm!
