Prohibiting Members of the House of Representatives from bringing or displaying a flag of a foreign nation on the floor of the House, and for other purposes.

HRES 49 prohibits all House Members, Delegates, and Resident Commissioners from displaying or bringing foreign flags on the House floor during sessions. Exceptions allow lapel pins with foreign flags and flags shown as part of speeches or debates under House rules. The Sergeant-at-Arms enforces this rule, which applies to all visible foreign flags regardless of size, except for the specified exceptions. This is a procedural rule change affecting conduct on the House floor, not a policy on foreign relations.
