Speaker of the House

Ruling Text

Prior to 1975, it was the practice to include a borrowing authority in the supply bill. Subsequently, borrowing authority has been granted by means of separate legislation. As specific notice for the borrowing provisions was lacking, these provisions, as contained in Part I of the bill, should be struck from the bill.
