  Title IV of Senate Resolution 4, agreed to by the Senate of February 
4, 1977, calls for establishment of a system for a computerized 
schedule of all meetings and hearings of Senate committees,

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

  As an additional procedure along with the computerization of this

Congressional Record on Monday and Wednesday of each week.
  Meetings scheduled for Tuesday, June 23, 2015 may be found in the
