                       SENATE COMMITTEE MEETINGS
  Title IV of Senate Resolution 4, agreed to by the Senate on February 
    4, 1977, calls for establishment of a system for a computerized 
      schedule of all meetings and hearings of Senate committees, 
  subcommittees, joint committees, and committees of conference. This 
 title requires all such committees to notify the Office of the Senate 
 Daily Digest--designated by the Rules Committee--of the time, place, 
 and purpose of the meetings, when scheduled, and any cancellations or 
                 changes in the meetings as they occur.

   As an additional procedure along with the computerization of this 
 information, the Office of the Senate Daily Digest will prepare this 
 information for printing in the Extensions of Remarks section of the 
       Congressional Record on Monday and Wednesday of each week.

 Meetings scheduled for Thursday, January 28, 2010 may be found in the 
                    Daily Digest of today's Record.
