  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,

  As an additional procedure along with the computerization of this

Congressional Record on Monday and Wednesday of each week.
