          83.3         TITLE II.--COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS; CHAIRMANSHIPS

                    Sec. 201. * * *
                    (f) It is the sense of the Senate that, in adopting
                rules, each committee of the Senate should include a
                provision to insure that assignment of Senators to
                subcommittees will occur in an equitable fashion; namely,
                that no member of a committee will receive assignment to a
                second subcommittee until, in order of seniority, all
                members of the committee have chosen assignments to one
                subcommittee, and no member shall receive assignment to a
                third subcommittee until, in order of seniority, all members
                have chosen assignments to two subcommittees.
