     names to the Senate: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate Commission on Art (referred to in

     appropriate paintings of Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg and 
     Senator Robert F. Wagner and place such paintings in the 2 
     unfilled spaces on the south wall of the Senate reception 
     room.
       Sec. 2. (a) The paintings shall be rendered in oil on

     Taft now displayed in the Senate reception room.
       (b) The paintings may be procured through purchase, 
     acceptance as a gift of appropriate existing paintings, or 
     through the execution of appropriate paintings by a qualified 
     artist or artists to be selected and contracted by the 
     Commission.
       Sec. 3. The expenses of the Commission in carrying out this 
     resolution shall be paid out of the contingent fund of the 
     Senate on vouchers signed by the Secretary of the Senate and 
     approved by the Committee on Rules and Administration.
