House Dem resolution:

1) Directs the committees "to continue" their ongoing investigations.

2) Sets up 90 min rounds of questioning to be controlled by chairman and ranking member at open hearings *before* members get their 5 minutes. And staffers may ask Q's...

(more to come)
3) The GOP minority may request the appearance of certain witnesses, if they submit "detailed written justification of the relevance of the testimony."

4) Minority subpoenas MAY be granted, subject to approval by the chair, appealable to the full committee.
5) Electronic transcripts of the depositions taken thus far, "with appropriate redactions," may be made public.

6) The Intel Cmte's report may be transmitted to Judiciary and made public.
7) The resolution defers to the Rules Committee to offer procedures allowing "for the participation the of the President and his counsel" ...
8) The Judiciary Committee is authorized to make its own procedures "as it deems necessary for the fair and efficient conduct" of impeachment hearings.

(This would be in keeping with the deference given to Rodino in 1974.)
