When a distinguished visitor comes
to address the House, the Speaker
names an escort of members—usually
the two party Floor Leaders and two
others. The guest -is met at the
center door of the House floor and is
duly escorted down the center aisle.
He ascends to the Speaker's rostrum
and stands beside the Speaker, who
introduces him. The escorts are seat­
ed on the rostrum level just below the
Speaker—but above the House floor.

The Agriculture Department appro­
priation bill is now the top item of

forest protection appropriations. The
House failed to include enough fire
protection money in the bill as sent
to the Senate. The Senate increased
the amount. As the bill now comes
back to the House for final approval,
the forfst fire protection item is al-

that used for this purpose during the
