 CHANGES TO THE RULES FOR REGULATION OF THE SENATE WING OF THE UNITED 
                             STATES CAPITOL

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to have printed in 
the Record a committee motion of the Committee on Rules and 
Administration relating to changes to the Rules for Regulation of the 
Senate Wing of the United States Capitol.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

                                             United States Senate,


                        Committee on Rules and Administration,

                                    Washington, DC, June 18, 1998.

                 Committee on Rules and Administration


                            committee motion

       THE COMMITTEE HEREBY adopts the following changes to the 
     Rules for Regulation of the Senate Wing of the United States 
     Capitol.
       1. In recognition of the fact that these rules are also 
     applicable to the Senate Office Buildings, the name of these 
     rules is changed to read: ``Rules for Regulation of the 
     Senate Wing of the United States Capitol and Senate Office 
     Buildings.''
       2. In recognition of the fact that Rule X addresses the 
     barber shop and bathrooms and is outdated and no longer 
     needed, the text of Rule X is revoked.
       3. The following is adopted and substituted for the text of 
     Rule X:
       ``Smoking is prohibited in all public places and unassigned 
     space within the Senate Wing of the Capitol and the Senate 
     Office Buildings, with the exception of one ventilated 
     smoking area in the Senate Wing of the Capitol and each of 
     the Senate Office Buildings, as designated by the Architect 
     of the Capitol with the approval of the Chairman of the 
     Committee on Rules and Administration. Senators, Chairmen of 
     Committees in consultation with the Ranking Member, the 
     Secretary of the Senate, the Sergeant at Arms, the Architect 
     of the Capitol, the Chaplain, and heads of support 
     organizations assigned space in the Senate Wing of the 
     Capitol or the Senate Office Buildings may each establish 
     smoking policies for all office space assigned to them.''
     Wendell H. Ford,
       Ranking Member.
     John Warner,
       Chairman.
