                to--
                            (1) receive complaints and investigate
                        allegations of improper conduct which may reflect
                        upon the Senate, violations of law, violations of
                        the Senate Code of Official Conduct, and violations
                        of rules and regulations of the Senate, relating to
                        the conduct of individuals in the performance of
                        their duties as Members of the Senate, or as
                        officers or employees of the Senate, and to make
                        appropriate findings of fact and conclusions with
                        respect thereto;
                            (2) recommend to the Senate by report or
                        resolution by a majority vote of the full committee
                        disciplinary action (including, but not limited to,
                        in the case of a Member: censure, expulsion, or
                        recommendation to the appropriate party conference
                        regarding such Member's seniority or positions of
                        responsibility; and, in the case of an officer or
                        employee: suspension or dismissal) to be taken with
                        respect to such violations which the Select
                        Committee shall determine, after according to the
                        individuals concerned due notice and opportunity for
                        hearing, to have occurred;
                            (3) recommend to the Senate, by report or
                        resolution, such additional rules or regulations as
                        the Select Committee shall determine to be necessary
                        or desirable to insure proper standards of conduct
                        by Mem

                        bers of the Senate, and by officers or employees of
                        the Senate, in the performance of their duties and
                        the discharge of their responsibilities; and
                            (4) report violations by a majority vote of the
                        full committee of any law to the proper Federal and
                        State authorities.
                    (b)(1) Each sworn complaint filed with the Select
                Committee shall be in writing, shall be in such form as the
                Select Committee may prescribe by regulation, and shall be
                under oath.
                    (2) For purposes of this section, ``sworn complaint''
                means a statement of facts within the personal knowledge of
                the complainant alleging a violation of law, the Senate Code
                of Official Conduct, or any other rule or regulation of the
                Senate relating to the conduct of individuals in the
                performance of their duties as Members, officers, or
                employees of the Senate.
                    (3) Any person who knowingly and willfully swears
                falsely to a sworn complaint does so under penalty of
                perjury, and the Select Committee may refer any such case to
                the Attorney General for prosecution.
                    (4) For the purposes of this section, ``investigation''
                is a proceeding undertaken by the Select Committee after a
                finding, on the basis of an initial review, that there is
                substantial credible evidence which provides substantial
                cause for the Select Committee to conclude that a violation
                within the jurisdiction of the Select Committee has
                occurred.
                    (c)(1) No investigation of conduct of a Member or
                officer of the Senate, and no report, resolution, or
                recommendation relating thereto, may be made unless approved
                by the affirmative recorded vote of not less than four
                members of the Select Committee.
                    (2) No other resolution, report, recommendation,
                interpretative ruling, or advisory opinion may be made
                without an affirmative vote of a majority of the members of
                the Select Committee voting.
                    (d)(1) When the Select Committee receives a sworn
                complaint against a Member or officer of the Senate, it
                shall promptly conduct an initial review of that complaint.
                The initial review shall be of duration and scope necessary
                to determine whether there is substantial credible evidence
                which provides substantial cause for the Select Committee to
                conclude that a violation within the jurisdiction of the
                Select Committee has occurred.

    [[Page 119]]

                    (2) If as a result of an initial review under paragraph
                (1), the Select Committee determines by a recorded vote that
                there is not such substantial credible evidence, the Select
                Committee shall report such determination to the complainant
                and to the party charged, together with an explanation of
                the basis of such determination.
                    (3) If as a result of an initial review under paragraph
                (1), the Select Committee determines that a violation is
                inadvertent, technical, or otherwise of a de minimis nature,
                the Select Committee may attempt to correct or prevent such
                a violation by informal methods.
                    (4) If as the result of an initial review under
                paragraph (1), the Select Committee determines that there is
                such substantial credible evidence but that the violation,
                if proven, is neither of a de minimis nature nor
                sufficiently serious to justify any of the penalties
                expressly referred to in subsection (a)(2), the Select
                Committee may propose a remedy it deems appropriate. If the
                matter is thereby resolved, a summary of the Select
                Committee's conclusions and the remedy proposed shall be
                filed as a public record with the Secretary of the Senate
                and a notice of such filing shall be printed in the
                Congressional Record.
                    (5) If as the result of an initial review under
                paragraph (1), the Select Committee determines that there is
                such substantial credible evidence, the Select Committee
                shall promptly conduct an investigation if (A) the
                violation, if proven, would be sufficiently serious, in the
                judgment of the Select Committee, to warrant imposition of
                one or more of the penalties expressly referred to in
                subsection (a)(2), or (B) the violation, if proven, is less
                serious, but was not resolved pursuant to paragraph (4)
                above. Upon the conclusion of such investigation, the Select
                Committee shall report to the Senate, as soon as
                practicable, the results of such investigation together with
                its recommendations (if any) pursuant to subsection (a)(2).
                    (6) Upon the conclusion of any other investigation
                respecting the conduct of a Member or officer undertaken by
                the Select Committee, the Select Committee shall report to
                the Senate, as soon as practicable, the results of such
                investigation together with its recommendations (if any)
                pursuant to subsection (a)(2).
                    (e) When the Select Committee receives a sworn complaint
                against an employee of the Senate, it shall consider the
                complaint according to procedures it deems appro

    [[Page 120]]

                priate. If the Select Committee determines that the
                complaint is without substantial merit, it shall notify the
                complainant and the accused of its determination, together
                with an explanation of the basis of such determination.
                    (f) The Select Committee may, in its discretion, employ
                hearing examiners to hear testimony and make findings of
                fact and/or recommendations to the Select Committee
                concerning the disposition of complaints.
                    (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section,
                no initial review or investigation shall be made of any
                alleged violation of any law, the Senate Code of Official
                Conduct, rule, or regulation which was not in effect at the
                time the alleged violation occurred. No provision of the
                Senate Code of Official Conduct shall apply to or require
                disclosure of any act, relationship, or transaction which
                occurred prior to the effective date of the applicable
                provision of the Code. The Select Committee may conduct an
                initial review or investigation of any alleged violation of
                a rule or law which was in effect prior to the enactment of
                the Senate Code of Official Conduct if the alleged violation
                occurred while such rule or law was in effect and the
                violation was not a matter resolved on the merits by the
                predecessor Select Committee.
                    (h) The Select Committee shall adopt written rules
                setting forth procedures to be used in conducting
                investigations of complaints.
                    (i) The Select Committee from time to time shall
                transmit to the Senate its recommendation as to any
                legislative measures which it may consider to be necessary
                for the effective discharge of its duties.
                    Sec. 3. (a) The Select Committee is authorized to (1)
                make such expenditures; (2) hold such hearings; (3) sit and
                act at such times and places during the sessions, recesses,
                and adjournment periods of the Senate; (4) require by
                subpoena or otherwise the attendance of such witnesses and
                the production of such correspondence, books, papers, and
                documents; (5) administer such oaths; (6) take such
                testimony orally or by deposition; (7) employ and fix the
                compensation of a staff director, a counsel, an assistant
                counsel, one or more investigators, one or more hearing
                examiners, and such technical, clerical, and other
                assistants and consultants as it deems advisable; and (8) to
                procure the temporary services (not in excess of one year)
                or intermittent services of individual consultants, or
                organizations

    [[Page 121]]

                thereof, 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 rate of compensation which may be paid to a regular
                employee of the Select Committee.
                    (b)(1) The Select Committee is authorized to retain and
                compensate counsel not employed by the Senate (or by any
                department or agency of the executive branch of the
                Government) whenever the Select Committee determines that
                the retention of outside counsel is necessary or appropriate
                for any action regarding any complaint or allegation, which,
                in the determination of the Select Committee is more
                appropriately conducted by counsel not employed by the
                Government of the United States as a regular employee.
                    (2) Any investigation conducted under section 2 shall be
                conducted by outside counsel as authorized in paragraph (1),
                unless the Select Committee determines not to use outside
                counsel.
                    (c) With the prior consent of the department or agency
                concerned, the Select Committee may (1) utilize the
                services, information, and facilities of any such department
                or agency of the Government, and (2) employ on a
                reimbursable basis or otherwise the services of such
                personnel of any such department or agency as it deems
                advisable. With the consent of any other committee of the
                Senate, or any subcommittee thereof, the Select Committee
                may utilize the facilities and the services of the staff of
                such other committee or subcommittee whenever the chairman
                of the Select Committee determines that such action is
                necessary and appropriate.
                    (d) Subpoenas may be issued (1) by the Select Committee
                or (2) by the chairman and vice chairman, acting jointly.
                Any such subpoena shall be signed by the chairman or the
                vice chairman and may be served by any person designated by
                such chairman or vice chairman. The chairman of the Select
                Committee or any member thereof may administer oaths to
                witnesses.
                    (e)(1) The Select Committee shall prescribe and publish
                such regulations as it feels are necessary to implement the
                Senate Code of Official Conduct.
                    (2) The Select Committee is authorized to issue
                interpretative rulings explaining and clarifying the
                application of

    [[Page 122]]

                any law, the Code of Official Conduct, or any rule or
                regulation of the Senate within its jurisdiction.
                    (3) The Select Committee shall render an advisory
                opinion, in writing within a reasonable time, in response to
                a written request by a Member or officer of the Senate or a
                candidate for nomination for election, or election to the
                Senate, concerning the application of any law, the Senate
                Code of Official Conduct, or any rule or regulation of the
                Senate within its jurisdiction to a specific factual
                situation pertinent to the conduct or proposed conduct of
                the person seeking the advisory opinion.
                    (4) The Select Committee may in its discretion render an
                advisory opinion in writing within a reasonable time in
                response to a written request by any employee of the Senate
                concerning the application of any law, the Senate Code of
                Official Conduct, or any rule or regulation of the Senate
                within its jurisdiction to a specific factual situation
                pertinent to the conduct or proposed conduct of the person
                seeking the advisory opinion.
                    (5) Notwithstanding any provision of the Senate Code of
                Official Conduct or any rule or regulation of the Senate,
                any person who relies upon any provision or finding of an
                advisory opinion in accordance with the provisions of
                paragraphs (3) and (4) and who acts in good faith in
                accordance with the provisions and findings of such advisory
                opinion shall not, as a result of any such act, be subject
                to any sanction by the Senate.
                    (6) Any advisory opinion rendered by the Select
                Committee under paragraphs (3) and (4) may be relied upon by
                (A) any person involved in the specific transaction or
                activity with respect to which such advisory opinion is
                rendered: Provided, however, That the request for such
                advisory opinion included a complete and accurate statement
                of the specific factual situation; and (B) any person
                involved in any specific transaction or activity which is
                indistinguishable in all its material aspects from the
                transaction or activity with respect to which such advisory
                opinion is rendered.
                    (7) Any advisory opinion issued in response to a request
                under paragraph (3) or (4) shall be printed in the
                Congressional Record with appropriate deletions to assure
                the privacy of the individual concerned. The Select
                Committee shall to the extent practicable, before rendering
                an advisory opinion, provide any interested party with an
                opportunity

    [[Page 123]]

                to transmit written comments to the Select Committee with
                respect to the request for such advisory opinion. The
                advisory opinions issued by the Select Committee shall be
                compiled, indexed, reproduced, and made available on a
                periodic basis.
                    (8) A brief description of a waiver granted under
                section 102(a)(2)(B) of Title I of Ethics in Government Act
                of 1978\7\ or paragraph 1 of rule XXXV\8\ of the Standing
                Rules of the Senate shall be made available upon request in
                the Select Committee office with appropriate deletions to

                Senate the views and estimates described in section 301(c)
                of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 regarding matters
                within the jurisdiction of the select committee.
                    Sec. 5. (a) For the purposes of this resolution, the
                select committee is authorized in its discretion (1) to make
                investigations into any matter within its jurisdiction, (2)
                to make expenditures from the contingent fund of the Senate,
                (3) to employ personnel, (4) to hold hearings, (5) to sit
                and act at any time or place during the sessions, recesses,
                and adjourned periods of the Senate, (6) to require, by
                subpoena or otherwise, the attendance of witnesses and the
                production of correspondence, books, papers, and documents,
                (7) to take depositions and other testimony, (8) to procure
                the service of individual consultants or organizations
                thereof, in accordance with the provisions of section 202(i)
                of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, and (9) with
                the prior consent of the government department or agency
                concerned and the Committee on Rules and Administration, to
                use on a reimbursable basis the services of personnel of any
                such department or agency.
                    (b) The chairman of the select committee or any member
                thereof may administer oaths to witnesses.
                    (c) Subpoenas authorized by the select committee may be
                issued over the signature of the chairman, the vice chairman
                or any member of the select committee designated by the
                chairman, and may be served by any person

    [[Page 130]]

                designated by the chairman or any member signing the
                subpoenas.
                    Sec. 6. No employee of the select committee or any
                person engaged by contract or otherwise to perform services
                for or at the request of such committee shall be given
                access to any classified information by such committee
                unless such employee or person has (1) agreed in writing and
                under oath to be bound by the rules of the Senate (including
                the jurisdiction of the Select Committee on Ethics) and of
                such committee as to the security of such information during
                and after the period of his employment or contractual
                agreement with such committee; and (2) received an
                appropriate security clearance as determined by such
                committee in consultation with the Director of National
                Intelligence. The type of security clearance to be required
                in the case of any such employee or person shall, within the
                determination of such committee in consultation with the
                Director of National Intelligence, be commensurate with the
                sensitivity of the classified information to which such
                employee or person will be given access by such committee.
                    Sec. 7. The select committee shall formulate and carry
                out such rules and procedures as it deems necessary to
                prevent the disclosure, without the consent of the person or
                persons concerned, of information in the possession of such
                committee which unduly infringes upon the privacy or which
                violates the constitutional rights of such person or
                persons. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent such
                committee from publicly disclosing any such information in
                any case in which such committee determines the national
                interest in the disclosure of such information clearly
                outweighs any infringement on the privacy of any person or
                persons.
                    Sec. 8. (a) The select committee may, subject to the
                provisions of this section, disclose publicly any
                information in the possession of such committee after a
                determination by such committee that the public interest
                would be served by such disclosure. Whenever committee
                action is required to disclose any information under this
                section, the committee shall meet to vote on the matter
                within five days after any member of the committee requests
                such a vote. No member of the select committee shall
                disclose any information, the disclosure of which requires a
                committee vote, prior to a vote by the committee on the
                question of the

    [[Page 131]]

                disclosure of such information or after such vote except in
                accordance with this section.
                    (b)(1) In any case in which the select committee votes
                to disclose publicly any information which has been
                classified under established security procedures, which has
                been submitted to it by the Executive branch, and which the
                Executive branch requests be kept secret, such committee
                shall--
                            (A) first, notify the Majority Leader and
                        Minority Leader of the Senate of such vote; and
                            (B) second, consult with the Majority Leader and
                        Minority Leader before notifying the President of
                        such vote.
                    (2) The select committee may disclose publicly such
                information after the expiration of a five-day period
                following the day on which notice of such vote is
                transmitted to the Majority Leader and the Minority Leader
                and the President, unless, prior to the expiration of such
                five-day period, the President, personally in writing,
                notifies the committee that he objects to the disclosure of
                such information, provides his reasons therefore, and
                certifies that the threat to the national interest of the
                United States posed by such disclosure is of such gravity
                that it outweighs any public interest in the disclosure.
                    (3) If the President, personally, in writing, notifies
                the Majority Leader and Minority Leader of the Senate and
                the select Committee of his objections to the disclosure of
                such information as provided in paragraph (2), the Majority
                Leader and Minority Leader jointly or the select Committee,
                by majority vote, may refer the question of the disclosure
                of such information to the Senate for consideration.
                    (4) Whenever the select committee votes to refer the
                question of disclosure of any information to the Senate
                under paragraph (3), the Chairman shall not later than the
                first day on which the Senate is in session following the
                day on which the vote occurs, report the matter to the
                Senate for its consideration.
                    (5) One hour after the Senate convenes on the fourth day
                on which the Senate is in session following the day on which
                any such matter is reported to the Senate, or at such
                earlier time as the majority leader and the minority leader
                of the Senate jointly agree upon in accordance with
                paragraph 5 of rule XVII of the Standing Rules of the
                Senate, the Senate shall go into closed session and the
                matter

    [[Page 132]]

                shall be the pending business. In considering the matter in
                closed session the Senate may--
                            (A) approve the public disclosure of all or any
                        portion of the information in question, in which
                        case the committee shall publicly disclose the
                        information ordered to be disclosed,
                            (B) disapprove the public disclosure of all or
                        any portion of the information in question, in which
                        case the committee shall not publicly disclose the
                        information ordered not to be disclosed, or
                            (C) refer all or any portion of the matter back
                        to the committee, in which case the committee shall
                        make the final determination with respect to the
                        public disclosure of the information in question.
                Upon conclusion of the consideration of such matter in
                closed session, which may not extend beyond the close of the
                ninth day on which the Senate is in session following the
                day on which such matter was reported to the Senate, or the
                close of the fifth day following the day agreed upon jointly
                by the majority and minority leaders in accordance with
                paragraph 5 of rule XVII of the Standing Rules of the Senate
                (whichever the case may be), the Senate shall immediately
                vote on the disposition of such matter in open session,
                without debate, and without divulging the information with
                respect to which the vote is being taken. The Senate shall
                vote to dispose of such matter by one or more of the means
                specified in clauses (A), (B), and (C) of the second
                sentence of this paragraph. Any vote of the Senate to
                disclose any information pursuant to this paragraph shall be
                subject to the right of a Member of the Senate to move for
                reconsideration of the vote within the time and pursuant to
                the procedures specified in rule XIII of the Standing Rules
                of the Senate, and the disclosure of such information shall
                be made consistent with that right.
                    (c)(1) No information in the possession of the select
                committee relating to the lawful intelligence activities of
                any department or agency of the United States which has been
                classified under established security procedures and which
                the select committee, pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of
                this section, has determined should not be disclosed shall
                be made available to any person by a Member, officer, or
                employee of the Senate except in a closed session of the
                Senate or as provided in paragraph (2).

    [[Page 133]]

                    (2) The select committee may, under such regulations as
                the committee shall prescribe to protect the confidentiality
                of such information, make any information described in
                paragraph (1) available to any other committee or any other
                Member of the Senate. Whenever the select committee makes
                such information available, the committee shall keep a
                written record showing, in the case of any particular
                information, which committee or which Members of the Senate
                received such information. No Member of the Senate who, and
                no committee which, receives any information under this
                subsection, shall disclose such information except in a
                closed session of the Senate.
                    (d) It shall be the duty of the Select Committee on
                Ethics to investigate any unauthorized disclosure of
                intelligence information by a Member, officer or employee of
                the Senate in violation of subsection (c) and to report to
                the Senate concerning any allegation which it finds to be
                substantiated.
                    (e) Upon the request of any person who is subject to any
                such investigation, the Select Committee on Ethics shall
                release to such individual at the conclusion of its
                investigation a summary of its investigation together with
                its findings. If, at the conclusion of its investigation,
                the Select Committee on Ethics determines that there has
                been a significant breach of confidentiality or unauthorized
                disclosure by a Member, officer, or employee of the Senate,
                it shall report its findings to the Senate and recommend
                appropriate action such as censure, removal from committee
                membership, or expulsion from the Senate, in the case of a
                Member, or removal from office or employment or punishment
                for contempt, in the case of an officer or employee.
                    Sec. 9. The select committee is authorized to permit any
                personal representative of the President, designated by the
                President to serve as a liaison to such committee, to attend
                any closed meeting of such committee.
                    Sec. 10. Upon expiration of the Select Committee on
                Governmental Operations With Respect to Intelligence
                Activities, established by Senate Resolution 21, Ninety-
                fourth Congress, all records, files, documents, and other
                materials in the possession, custody, or control of such
                committee, under appropriate conditions established by it,
                shall be transferred to the select committee.
                    Sec. 11. (a) It is the sense of the Senate that the head
                of each department and agency of the United States should

    [[Page 134]]

                keep the select committee fully and currently informed with
                respect to intelligence activities, including any
                significant anticipated activities, which are the
                responsibility of or engaged in by such department or
                agency: Provided, That this does not constitute a condition
                precedent to the implementation of any such anticipated
                intelligence activity.
                    (b) It is the sense of the Senate that the head of any
                department or agency of the United States involved in any
                intelligence activities should furnish any information or
                document in the possession, custody, or control of the
                department or agency, or person paid by such department or
                agency, whenever requested by the select committee with
                respect to any matter within such committee's jurisdiction.
                    (c) It is the sense of the Senate that each department
                and agency of the United States should report immediately
                upon discovery to the select committee any and all
                intelligence activities which constitute violations of the
                constitutional rights of any person, violations of law, or
                violations of Executive orders, Presidential directives, or
                departmental or agency rules or regulations; each department
                and agency should further report to such committee what
                actions have been taken or are expected to be taken by the
                departments or agencies with respect to such violations.
                    Sec. 12. Subject to the Standing Rules of the Senate, no
                funds shall be appropriated for any fiscal year beginning

                bill or resolution, or amendment thereto, or conference
                report thereon, to, or for use of, any department or agency
                of the United States to carry out any of the following
                activities, unless such funds shall have been previously
                authorized by a bill or joint resolution passed by the
                Senate during the same or preceding fiscal year to carry out
                such activity for such fiscal year:

                with respect to the following matters, taking into

                security, and dissemination of intelligence:
                            (1) the quality of the analytical capabilities
                        of United States foreign intelligence agencies and
                        means for integrating more closely analytical

                the committee. No expenditures shall be made in connection
                with any such suit in excess of the amount of funds

                his clerical and other assistants on the payroll of the
                Senate on the date of termination of his service shall be

                    Resolved, That hereafter when any person is appointed as
                an employee of any committee of the Senate, of any Senator,
                or of any office of the Senate the committee, Senator, or
                officer having authority to make such appointment shall
                transmit the name of such person to the Federal Bureau of
                Investigation, together with a request that such committee,
                Senator, or officer be informed as to any derogatory and
                rebutting information in the possession of such agency
                concerning the loyalty and reliability for security purposes
                of such person, and in any case in which such derogatory
                information is revealed such committee, Senator, or officer
                shall make or cause to be made such further investigation as
                shall have been considered necessary to determine the
                loyalty and reliability for security purposes of such
                person.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    \22\ This resolution has not been generally implemented
                since the Federal Bureau of Investigation took the position
                that it was not authorized to divulge the information
                referred to in the resolution. However, the Bureau and the
                Department of Defense cooperate with Senate committees and
                offices which request security checks of specific employees
                when it is considered necessary by a committee chairman or
                officer of the Senate.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    Every such committee, Senator, and officer shall
                promptly transmit to the Federal Bureau of Investigation a
                list of the names of the incumbent employees of such
                committee, Senator, or officer together with a request that
                such committee, Senator, or officer be informed of any
                derogatory and rebutting information contained in the files
                of such agency concerning the loyalty and reliability for
                security purposes of such employee.

                            (3) otherwise discriminate against an individual

           106                      SENATE YOUTH PROGRAM

                Whereas the continued vitality of our Republic depends, in
                    part, on the intelligent understanding of our political
                    processes and the functioning of our National Government
                    by the citizens of the United States; and
                Whereas the durability of a constitutional democracy is
                    dependent upon alert, talented, vigorous competition for
                    political leadership; and
                Whereas individual Senators have cooperated with various
                    private and university undergraduate and graduate
                    fellowship and internship programs relating to the work
                    of Congress; and
                Whereas, in the high schools of the United States, there
                    exists among students who have been elected to student-
                    body offices in their sophomore, junior, or senior year
                    a potential reservoir of young citizens who are

    [[Page 176]]

                    experiencing their first responsibilities of service to
                    a constituency and who should be encouraged to deepen
                    their interest in and understanding of their country's
                    political processes: Now, therefore, be it

                    Resolved, That the Senate hereby expresses its
                willingness to cooperate in a nationwide competitive high
                school Senate youth program which would give several
                representative high school students from each State a short
                indoctrination into the operation of the United States
                Senate and the Federal Government generally, if such a
                program can be satisfactorily arranged and completely
                supported by private funds with no expense to the Federal
                Government.
                    Sec. 2. The Senate Committee on Rules and Administration
                shall investigate the possibility of establishing such a
                program and, if the committee determines such a program is
                possible and advisable, it shall make the necessary
                arrangements to establish the program.
                    Sec. 3. For the purpose of this resolution, the term
                ``State'' includes the Department of Defense education
                system for dependents in overseas areas.

                Whereas by S. Res. 324 of the Eighty-seventh Congress,
                    agreed to May 17, 1962, the Senate expressed its
                    willingness to cooperate in a nationwide competitive
                    Senate youth program supported by private funds, which
                    would give representative high school students from each
                    State a short indoctrination into the operation of the
                    United States Senate and the Federal Government
                    generally, and authorized the Senate Committee on Rules
                    and Administration, if it should find such a program
                    possible and advisable, to make the necessary
                    arrangements therefor; and
                Whereas the Committee on Rules and Administration, after
                    appropriate investigation, having determined such a
                    program to be not only possible but highly desirable,
                    authorized its establishment and with the support of the
                    leaders and other Members of the Senate and the
                    cooperation of certain private institutions made the
                    necessary arrangements therefor; and
                Whereas, pursuant to such arrangements, and with the
                    cooperation of and participation by the offices of every
                    Member of the Senate and the Vice President, one hundred
                    and two student leaders representing all States

    [[Page 177]]

                    of the Union and the District of Columbia were
                    privileged to spend the period from January 28, 1963,
                    through February 2, 1963, in the Nation's Capitol,
                    thereby broadening their knowledge and understanding of
                    Congress and the legislative process and stimulating
                    their appreciation of the importance of a freely elected
                    legislature in the perpetuation of our democratic system
                    of government; and
                Whereas by S. Res. 147 of the Eighty-eighth Congress, agreed
                    to May 27, 1963, another group of student leaders from
                    throughout the United States spent approximately one
                    week in the Nation's Capitol, during January 1964; and
                Whereas it is the consensus of all who participated that the
                    above two programs were unqualifiedly successful, and in
                    all respects worthy and deserving of continuance; and
                Whereas the private foundation which financed the initial
                    programs has graciously offered to support a similar
                    program during the year ahead: Now, therefore, be it
                    Resolved, That, until otherwise directed by the Senate
                the Senate youth program authorized by S. Res. 324 of the
                Eighty-seventh Congress, agreed to May 17, 1962, and
                extended by S. Res. 147, agreed to May 27, 1963, may be
                continued at the discretion of and under such conditions as
                may be determined by the Committee on Rules and
                Administration.

           117  STANDARDS OF CONDUCT FOR MEMBERS OF THE SENATE AND OFFICERS
                                 AND EMPLOYEES OF THE SENATE

                    Resolved, It is declared to be the policy of the Senate
                that--
                    (a) The ideal concept of public office, expressed by the
                words, ``A public office is a public trust'', signifies that
                the officer has been entrusted with public power by the
                people; that the officer holds this power in trust to be
                used only for their benefit and never for the benefit of
                himself or of a few; and that the officer must never conduct
                his own affairs so as to infringe on the public interest.
                All official conduct of Members of the Senate should be
                guided by this paramount concept of public office.
                    (b) These rules, as the written expression of certain
                standards of conduct, complement the body of unwritten but
                generally accepted standards that continue to apply to the
                Senate.

                directed by the Senate; and may use the same to authenticate
                copies of such papers and documents in his office as he may
                lawfully give copies of.

                                destruction, or wear and tear; and
                            (2) the flag shall not be utilized or displayed
                        for commercial purposes.
                Senators who leave the Senate may retain their flags subject
                to the preceding restrictions.

                    Sec. 2. Sense of the Senate.
                    It is the sense of the Senate that prior to making a

                        proposed installation space.
                            (4) The amount of area available for the
                        installation of permanent artwork or semi-permanent
                        artwork in the proposed installation space.
                            (5) The opinion of the Curatorial Advisory Board
                        on such affixation.
                    Sec. 3. Creation of artwork.
                    If a request to affix permanent artwork or semi-
                permanent artwork to the walls, floors, or ceilings of the
                public spaces and committee rooms of the Senate wing of the
                Capitol and the Senate office buildings meets the
                requirements of section 1, the Senate Commission on Art
                shall select the artist and shall supervise and direct the
                creation of the artwork and the application of the artwork
                to the selected surface.
                    Sec. 4. Definitions.
                    In this resolution--
                    (1) permanent artwork.--The term ``permanent artwork''
                means artwork that when applied directly to a wall, ceiling,
                or floor has become part of the fabric of the building,
                based on a consideration of relevant factors including--
                            (A) the original intent when the artwork was
                        applied;
                            (B) the method of application;
                            (C) the adaptation or essentialness of the
                        artwork to the building; and
                            (D) whether the removal of the artwork would
                        cause damage to either the artwork or the surface
                        that contains it.
                    (2) semi-permanent artwork.--The term ``semi-permanent
                artwork'' means artwork that when applied directly to the
                surface of a wall, ceiling, or floor can be removed without
                damaging the artwork or the surface to which the artwork is
                applied.

                    (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 2, the
                Secretary of the Senate may prohibit or restrict the public
                disclosure of any record so transferred, other than any

                disclosure of such record would not be in the public
                interest and so notifies the Administrator of General
                Services.
                    Sec. 4. The Secretary of the Senate shall transmit a
                copy of this resolution to the Administrator of General
