Summary:

To a large extent, each committee has considerable flexibility in how it goes about "marking up" a measure or matter before it. For instance, during the 105th Congress, committee rules for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee stipulated that, insofar as practicable, "proceedings of the Committee will be conducted without resort to the formalities of parliamentary procedure." By comparison, other committees identify detailed procedures for their markup meetings.
