records, or any other materials at a hearing of the committee or a
subcommittee or in connection with the conduct of an investigation
authorized in accordance with paragraph 8.1. The Chairman may subpoena
attendance or production without the approval of the ranking minority
member when the Chairman has not received notification from the ranking
minority member of disapproval of the subpoena within 72 hours,
excluding Saturdays and Sundays, of being notified of the subpoena. If a
subpoena is disapproved by the ranking minority member as provided in
this paragraph the subpoena may be authorized by vote of the members of

member of the committee designated by the Chairman.

to criminal or civil enforcement proceedings for a witness' failure to
appear unless the deposition notice was accompanied by a committee
subpoena.
8.4 Procedure for Taking Depositions.--Witnesses shall be examined
upon oath administered by an individual authorized by local law to
administer oaths. The Chairman will rule, by telephone or otherwise, on
any objection by a witness. The transcript of a deposition shall be
filed with the committee clerk.
RULE 9--AMENDING THE RULES
These rules shall become effective upon publication in the
Congressional Record. These rules may be modified, amended, or repealed
by the committee, provided that all members are present or provide
proxies or if a notice in writing of the proposed changes has been given
to each member at least 48 hours prior to the meeting at which action
thereon is to be taken. The changes shall become effective immediately
upon publication of the changed rule or rules in the Congressional
Record, or immediately upon approval of the changes if so resolved by
the committee as long as any witnesses who may be affected by the change
in rules are provided with them.
