- ↑ Usually the chairman of the committee makes the report. Sometimes, however, the chairman is not in favor of the report of the committee, or he may not be the best one to champion the report. In such a case the committee should appoint another member, called the reporting member, to make the report.
- ↑ The committee's amendments must be written on a separate sheet regardless of whether the report is written or oral. No marks or writing should be put by the committee on any paper referred to it.
