                        (1) the committees of the Senate, including 
                    joint committees and special committees, for the 
                    117th Congress shall be composed equally of members 
                    of both parties, to be appointed at a later time by 
                    the two Leaders;
                        (2) the budgets and office space for such 
                    committees, and all other subgroups, shall likewise 
                    be equal, with up to an additional 10 percent to be 
                    allocated for administrative expenses to be 
                    determined by the Committee on Rules and 
                    Administration, with the total administrative 
                    expenses allocation for all committees not to exceed 
                    historic levels; and
                        (3) the Chairman of a full committee may

            ratio of the parties in the Senate, and the provisions of 
            this resolution shall have no further effect, except that 
            the members who were first appointed by the two Leaders to 
            such committees in the 117th Congress, pursuant to the 
            authority in this resolution, shall no longer be members of 
            the committees, and the committee chairmanships shall be 
            held by the party which has attained a majority of the whole 
            number of Senators.

                        (1) If a committee has not reported out a 
                    measure or matter because of a tie vote, then--

                            transmit a notice of a tie vote to the 
                            Secretary of the Senate and such notice 
                            shall be printed in the Record; and
                                (B) after such notice of a tie vote has 
                            been transmitted, the Majority Leader or the 
                            Minority Leader may, only after consultation 
                            with the Chairman and Ranking Member of the 
                            committee, make a motion to discharge such 
                            measure or matter, and time for debate on 
                            such motion shall be limited to 4 hours, to 
                            be equally divided between the two Leaders 
                            or their designees, with no other motions, 
                            points of order, or amendments in order: 
                            Provided, That following the use or yielding 
                            back of time, the Senate vote on the motion 
                            to discharge, without any intervening 
                            action, motion, or debate, and if agreed to, 
                            the measure or matter be placed immediately 
                            on the appropriate Calendar.
                        (2) Notwithstanding the provisions of rule XXII 
                    of the Standing Rules of the Senate, to ensure that 
                    any cloture motion shall be offered for the purpose 
                    of bringing to a close debate, in no case shall it 
                    be in order for any cloture motion to be presented 
                    on an amendable item during its first 12 hours of 
                    Senate debate: Provided, That all other provisions 
                    of rule XXII remain in status quo.
                Sec. 4. It is the sense of the Senate that both Leaders 
            shall seek to attain an equal balance of the interests of 
            the two parties when scheduling and debating legislative and 
            executive business generally, and in keeping with the 
            present Senate precedents, a motion to proceed to any 
            Legislative or Executive Calendar item shall continue to be 
            considered the prerogative of the Majority Leader, although 
            the Standing Rules of the Senate do not prohibit the right 
            of the Republican Leader, or any other Senator, to move to 
            proceed to any item.

            investigation, another Member of the Senate shall, subject 
            to the provisions of subsection (d), be appointed to serve 
            as a member of the Select Committee solely for purposes of 
            such initial review or investigation and the determinations 
            and recommendations of the Select Committee with respect 
            thereto. Any Member of the Senate appointed for such 
            purposes shall be of the same party as the Member who is 
            ineligible or disqualifies himself.
                Sec. 2. (a) It shall be the duty of the Select Committee 
            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 Members 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.

[[Page 120]]

                (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.
                (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.

[[Page 121]]

                (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 appropriate. 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

[[Page 122]]

            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 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.

[[Page 123]]

                (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 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

[[Page 124]]

            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 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.

        79      SELECT COMMITTEE ON ETHICS--ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITY

            alterations to the same in the form of amendments.
                (c) Nothing in this resolution shall be construed as 
            prohibiting or otherwise restricting the authority of any

            of any department or agency of the Government relevant to a 
            matter otherwise within the jurisdiction of such committee.
                Sec. 4. (a) The select committee, for the purposes of 
            accountability to the Senate, shall make regular and 
            periodic, but not less than quarterly, reports to the Senate 
            on the nature and extent of the intelligence activities of 
            the various departments and agencies of the United States.

            Senate or such other committee or committees. In making such 
            report, the select committee shall proceed in a manner 
            consistent with section 8(c)(2) to protect national

            the public at the

[[Page 131]]

            discretion of the select committee. Nothing herein shall be 
            construed as requiring the public disclosure in such reports 
            of the names of individuals engaged in intelligence 
            activities for the United States or the divulging of 
            intelligence methods employed or the sources of information

            authorized to be appropriated for intelligence activities.

            committee shall submit to the Committee on the Budget of the 
            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 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

[[Page 132]]

            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 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

[[Page 133]]

                        (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 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

[[Page 134]]

                        (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).
                (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

[[Page 135]]

            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 
            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

[[Page 136]]

            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 
            after September 30, 1976, with the exception of a continuing 
            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:

                    Agency and the Director of the Central Intelligence 
                    Agency.

[[Page 137]]

                        (1) the quality of the analytical capabilities 
                    of United States foreign intelligence agencies and 
                    means for integrating more closely analytical 
                    intelligence and policy formulation;
                        (2) the extent and nature of the authority of 
                    the departments and agencies of the Executive branch 
                    to engage in intelligence activities and the 
                    desirability of developing charters for each 
                    intelligence agency or department;
                        (3) the organization of intelligence activities 
                    in the Executive branch to maximize the

                    informed of such activities;
                        (5) the desirability of changing any law, Senate 
                    rule or procedure, or any Executive order, rule, or 
                    regulation to improve the protection of intelligence 
                    secrets and provide for disclosure of information 
                    for which there is no compelling reason for secrecy;

                    committee of the Senate on intelligence activities;
                        (7) the desirability of establishing a joint 
                    committee of the Senate and the House of 
                    Representatives on intelligence activities in lieu 
                    of having separate committees in each House of 
                    Congress, or of establishing procedures under which 
                    separate committees on intelligence activities of 
                    the two Houses of Congress would receive joint 
                    briefings from the intelligence agencies and 
                    coordinate their policies with respect to the 
                    safeguarding of sensitive intelligence information;
                        (8) the authorization of funds for the 
                    intelligence activities of the Government and 
                    whether disclosure of any of the amounts of such 
                    funds is in the public interest; and
                        (9) the development of a uniform set of 
                    definitions for terms to be used in policies or 
                    guidelines which may be adopted by the executive or 
                    legislative branches to govern, clarify, and 
                    strengthen the operation of intelligence activities.
                (b) The select committee may, in its discretion, omit 
            from the special study required by this section any matter 
            it

                (c) The designated employee shall meet all the 
            requirements of relevant statutes, Senate rules, and

            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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                \19\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.

       105               EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES\20\

            Whereas the Senate supports the principle that each 
                individual is entitled to the equal protection of the

                to the Constitution of the United States; and

                or Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: Now,

            the Senate shall, with respect to employment by the Senate 
            or any office thereof--

                    conditions, or privileges of employment,
            on the basis of such individual's race, color, religion, 
            sex, national origin or state of handicap.
                (b) Each Member, officer, and employee of the Senate 
            shall encourage the hiring of women and members of minority

       109                      SENATE YOUTH PROGRAM

            Whereas the continued vitality of our Republic depends, in 
                part, on the intelligent understanding of our political

[[Page 181]]

                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 
                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

[[Page 182]]

                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 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.

            documentation for the purpose of reimbursing interns in the

       121  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

[[Page 192]]

            but generally accepted standards that continue to apply to 
            the Senate.

            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.
