                      APPENDIX TO STANDING RULES OF THE SENATE

            ____________________________________________________________
                [Note.--S. Res. 445, 108-2, a resolution to eliminate 
            certain restrictions on service of a Senator on the Senate 
            Select Committee on Intelligence, passed the Senate Oct. 9, 
            2004. The resolution made several changes to the 
            jurisdiction, treatment and name of Senate Committees. 
            However, the provisions of S. Res. 445 did not modify the 
            Standing Rules of the Senate and therefore could not be 
            included in this document except as an appendix. The 
            effective date for the provisions of the resolution was the 
            convening of the 109th Congress. Titles I, III and V of S. 
            Res. 445 are printed in this appendix.
