        76         CONSULTANTS FOR THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS

                Resolved, That within the limit of funds appropriated 
            for expenses of inquiries and investigations for the 
            Committee 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.
