Topics to be covered in the Special Order include: Brief timeline and overview of Fast and Furious events, a tribute to Border Patrol Officer Brian Terry, calls for accountability from Department of Justice and Attorney General Eric Holder. New Time: Special order speeches (commonly called “special orders”) usually take place at the end of the day after the House has completed all legislative business. During the special order period, individual Representatives deliver speeches on topics of their choice for up to 60 minutes. Special orders provide one of the few opportunities for non-legislative debate in the House. They also give Members a chance to speak outside the time restrictions that govern legislative debate in the House and the Committee of the Whole.
