Abstract:
On June 20, 1995, the House of Representatives passed a resolution (H.Res. 168) by a 271 to 146 vote to create an expedited procedure to repeal or correct laws, rules, and regulations that are, as Rules Chairman Gerald Solomon stated, "obsolete, ludicrous, duplicative, burdensome, or costly."1 The Resolution amended the House rulebook by repealing the Consent Calendar and replacing it with a new Corrections Calendar.
