Description: Rhodes (R-AZ) motion to recommit the resolution to strip the House Administration Committee of its unilateral power to alter members' perquisites to the Rules Committee with instructions to rescind the committee's authority effective June 23, 1976. The effect of the motion was to restrict the Committee's corruptive power to allocate financial resources to other members without House approval. Such power has led to scandalous activities as represented by the Wayne Hays-Elizabeth Ray affair.
