                     SENATE CHAMBER--SENATE WING OF THE CAPITOL

      33.1      1. The Senate Chamber shall not be granted for any other 
            purpose than for the use of the Senate; no smoking shall be 
            permitted at any time on the floor of the Senate, or lighted 
            cigars, cigarettes, or pipes be brought into the Chamber.
      33.2      2. It shall be the duty of the Committee on Rules and 
            Administration to make all rules and regulations respecting 
            such parts of the Capitol, its passages and galleries, 
            including the restaurant and the Senate Office Buildings, as 
            are or may be set apart for the use of the Senate and its 
            officers, to be enforced under the direction of the

            respecting the reporters' galleries of the Senate, together 
            with the adjoining rooms and facilities, as will confine 
            their occupancy and use to bona fide reporters of newspapers 
            and periodicals, and of news or press associations for daily 
            news dissemination through radio, television, wires, and 
            cables, and similar media of transmission. These regulations 
            shall so provide for the use of such space and facilities as 
            fairly to distribute their use to all such media of news 
            dissemination.
