                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.
