            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.
