            82                            RULE III

                                  USE OF THE SENATE CHAMBER

                    In order to secure and protect the Senate Chamber and
                its furniture and furnishings, the language contained in
                paragraph numbered one of rule XXXIII of the Standing Rules
                of the Senate, which reads ``The Senate Chamber shall not be
                granted for any other purpose than for the use of the
                Senate,'' shall be interpreted to mean that when the Senate
                is not sitting in session or otherwise using the Chamber for
                some function of the Senate, no Senator shall seat any
                person or persons in chairs of Senators others than the
                chair assigned to him (other persons shall not seat anyone
                in a chair of a Senator); and lectures, talks, or speeches
                shall not be given at such times to groups on the floor by
                Senators or others except for the purpose of explaining the
                Chamber.
