RULES OF ORDER. 26. JOINT COMMITTEES OF THE TWO HOUSES (z). 81 A committee of one house is occasionally appointed to join with a committee of the other house, and is called a "joint committee." When such committee is desired by the commons, they appoint a committee of a certain number of mem- bers to join with a committee of the senate. A mes- sage is sent to the senate acquainting them therewith, and requesting the senate "to appoint an equal num- ber of senators to be joined with the members of this house."
