                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) Members of Congress (or any employee of a Member of 
        Congress authorized by that Member) should not be prohibited, 
        with or without prior notice to the Architect of the Capitol, 
        the Chief Executive Officer for Visitor Services, or the 
        Capitol Guide Service, from taking guests or visitors into the 
        publicly accessible areas of the United States Capitol complex 
        during normal business hours;
            (2) nothing in this resolution shall be construed to affect 
        the authority granted to employees of Members of Congress by 
        the respective Members relating to the movement of such 
        employees through the United States Capitol complex;
            (3) at the direction of the Capitol Police Board or the 
        fire marshal, the taking of guests or visitors into the 
        publicly accessible areas of the United States Capitol complex 
        by a Member of Congress (or any employee of a Member of 
        Congress authorized by that Member) should be temporarily 
        suspended or otherwise subject to restriction for safety or 
        security reasons to the same extent as guided tours of the 
        United States Capitol complex which are led by the Architect of 
        the Capitol or the Capitol Guide Service; and
            (4) nothing in this resolution shall be interpreted to 
        contradict the Congressional staff-led tour policy that ensures 
        that tours of the Capitol are conducted by staff members who 
        have undergone mandatory life safety and historical accuracy 
        training.

            Passed the Senate December 11 (legislative day, December 
      10), 2008.

            Attest:

                                                             Secretary.
