This resolution outlines the specific process for announcing pairs in the House of Representatives during the 119th Congress. Under this procedure, the Clerk will be responsible for announcing these pairs immediately preceding the Chair's declaration of the vote results for either the House or the Committee of the Whole. The announcement will be based on a written list furnished to the Clerk, which must be signed by the Member making the statement. This list will then be published in the Congressional Record as part of the proceedings, appearing directly after the names of members who did not vote. Importantly, pairs will only be announced once during the same legislative day, streamlining the process.
