      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.
