        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.
