         79.12         CONSULTANTS FOR THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS

                    Resolved, That within the limit of funds appropriated
                for expenses of inquiries and investigations for the
                Committee on Appropriations, the committee may expend such
                sums as it deems appropriate and necessary for the
                procurement of the services of individual consultants or
                organizations. Such services in the case of individuals or
                organizations may be procured by contract as independent
                contractors, or in the case of individuals by employment at
                daily rates of compensation not in excess of the per diem
                equivalent of the highest gross rate of compensation which
                may be paid to a regular employee of the committee. Such
                contracts may be made in the same manner and subject to the
                same conditions with respect to advertising as required of
                other standing committees of the Senate under section
                202(i)(2) of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, as
                amended.
