    Washington, D.C.-Baltimore, Maryland consolidated metropolitan

    he considers appropriate - 
        (1)(A) adjust the rates of pay of personnel whose pay is
      disbursed by the Secretary of the Senate, and any minimum or
      maximum rate applicable to any such personnel; or
        (B) in the case of such personnel whose rates of pay are fixed
      by or pursuant to law at specific rates, adjust such rates
      (including the adjustment of such specific rates to maximum pay
      rates) and, in the case of all other personnel whose pay is
      disbursed by the Secretary of the Senate, adjust only the minimum
      or maximum rates applicable to such other personnel; and
        (2) adjust any limitation or allowance applicable to such
      personnel;

    by percentages which are equal or equivalent, insofar as
    practicable and with such exceptions as may be necessary to provide
    for appropriate pay relationships between positions, to the
    percentages of the adjustments made by the President under such
    section 5303 (and, as the case may be, section 5304 or 5304a of
    such title, as applied to employees employed in the pay locality of

      (b) The adjustments made by the President pro tempore shall be
    made in such manner as he considers advisable and shall have the

    to which rates of pay may be fixed by administrative action.
      (d) No rate of pay shall be adjusted under the provisions of this
    section to an amount in excess of the rate of basic pay for level
    III of the Executive Schedule contained in section 5314 of title 5,
    except in cases in which it is necessary to restore and maintain
    the same pay relationships that existed on December 31, 1986,
    between personnel and Senators and between positions.
      (e) Any percentage used in any statute specifically providing for
    an adjustment in rates of pay in lieu of an adjustment made under
    section 5303 of title 5 and, as the case may be, section 5304 or
    5304a of such title for any calendar year shall be treated as the
    percentage used in an adjustment made under such section 5303,
    5304, or 5304a, as applicable, for purposes of subsection (a) of
    this section.

          (A) each minimum and maximum rate of pay applicable to any
        employee or class of employees whose pay is disbursed by the
        Chief Administrative Officer (other than a maximum rate equal
        to or greater than the maximum rate then currently being paid
        under the General Schedule of section 5332 of title 5 as a
        result of such adjustment); and

      and with such variations as the Chief Administrative Officer
      considers appropriate, to the percentage of the adjustment under
      such section 5303;
        (2) shall determine, with respect to the employees and classes
      of employees within the purview of this section whose pay is
      disbursed by the Chief Administrative Officer, the respective
      amounts of pay adjustments which are equal or equivalent, insofar
      as practicable and with such exceptions and modifications as may
      be necessary to provide for appropriate pay relationships between
      positions, to corresponding increases in pay, as determined by
      the Chief Administrative Officer, made by the pay adjustment by
      the President; and
        (3) shall transmit to the appropriate pay-fixing authority
      concerned in the House of Representatives a copy of his
      determinations with respect to the pay of those employees whose
      pay is fixed and adjusted by that authority.

      (b) After consideration of the pay determinations transmitted by
    the Chief Administrative Officer, the pay-fixing authority
    concerned may adjust, notwithstanding the provisions contained in
    sections 1341, 1342, and 1349-1351 and subchapter II of chapter 15
    of title 31, the rates of pay concerned in such manner as that
    authority considers appropriate.
      (c) Nothing in this section shall impair any authority pursuant
    to which rates of pay may be fixed by administrative action.
      (d) This section shall not be deemed to authorize any adjustment
    in the rates of pay of employees whose rates of pay are disbursed
    by the Chief Administrative Officer and are fixed and adjusted from
    time to time as nearly as is consistent with the public interest in
    accordance with prevailing rates or practices, including employees
    subject to the House Wage Schedule.
      (e) No rate of pay shall be adjusted under this section to an
    amount in excess of the rate of basic pay of level V of the
    Executive Schedule contained in section 5316 of title 5.

      office decides to reduce the amount of student loan payments for
      an eligible employee, the head of the office and the employee may
      mutually agree to terminate the service agreement.
      (8) No right to continued employment
        A service agreement under this section shall not be construed
      to create a right to, promise of, or entitlement to the continued
      employment of the eligible employee.
      (9) No entitlement
        A student loan payment under this section shall not be

          (B) if the total amount is not sufficient to provide the
        maximum amount to each employing office, an amount that bears
        the same relationship to the total amount as the maximum amount
        for that employing office for that fiscal year bears to the
        total of the maximum amounts for all employing offices for that
        fiscal year.

    Sec. 61-1. Gross rate of compensation of employees paid by
      Secretary of Senate

-STATUTE-
    (a) Annual rate; certification
      (1) Whenever the rate of compensation of any employee whose
    compensation is disbursed by the Secretary of the Senate is fixed
    or adjusted on or after October 1, 1980, such rate as so fixed or
    adjusted shall be at a single whole dollar per annum gross rate and
    may not include a fractional part of a dollar.
      (2) New or changed rates of compensation (other than changes in
    rates which are made by law) of any such employee (other than an
    employee who is an elected officer of the Senate) shall be
    certified in writing to the Disbursing Office of the Senate (and,
    for purposes of this paragraph, a new rate of compensation refers
    to compensation in the case of an appointment, transfer from one
    Senate appointing authority to another, or promotion by an
    appointing authority to a position the compensation for which is
    fixed by law). In the case of an appointment or other new rate of
    compensation, the certification must be received by such office on
    or before the day the rate of new compensation is to become
    effective. In any other case, the changed rate of compensation
    shall take effect on the first day of the month in which such
    certification is received (if such certification is received within
    the first ten days of such month), on the first day of the month
    after the month in which such certification is received (if the day
    on which such certification is received is after the twenty-fifth
    day of the month in which it is received), and on the sixteenth day
    of the month in which such certification is received (if such
    certification is received after the tenth day and before the twenty-
    sixth day of such month). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
    if the certification for a changed rate of compensation for an
    employee specifies an effective date of such change, such change
    shall become effective on the date so specified, but only if the
    date so specified is the first or sixteenth day of a month and is
    after the effective date prescribed in the preceding sentence; and,
    notwithstanding such sentence and the preceding provisions of this
    sentence, any changed rate of compensation for a new employee or an
    employee transferred from one appointing authority to another shall
    take effect on the date of such employee's appointment or transfer
    (as the case may be) if such date is later than the effective date
    for such changed rate of compensation as prescribed by such
    sentence.
    (b) Conversion; increase in compensation
      The rate of compensation of each employee whose compensation is
    disbursed by the Secretary of the Senate which was fixed before
    August 1, 1967, at a basic rate with respect to which additional
    compensation is payable by law shall be converted as of such date
    to the lowest per annum gross rate which is a multiple of $180 and
    which is not less than the aggregate rate of compensation (basic
    compensation plus additional compensation provided by law) which
    such employee was receiving immediately prior to such date. Any
    increments of longevity compensation to which an employee became
    entitled prior to August 1, 1967, under section 60j(b) of this
    title shall be excluded in converting such employee's rate of
    compensation under this subsection, but such employee's rate of
    gross compensation shall be increased by $540 (which shall be
    considered to be an increase under section 60j(b) of this title)
    for each such increment.
    (c) Reference in other provisions to basic rates and additional
      compensation as reference to per annum gross rate
      In any case in which the rate of compensation of any employee or
    position, or class of employees or positions, the compensation for
    which is disbursed by the Secretary of the Senate, or any maximum
    or minimum rate with respect to any such employee, position, or
    class, is referred to in or provided by statute or Senate
    resolution, and the rate so referred to or provided is a basic rate
    with respect to which additional compensation is provided by law,
    such statutory provision or resolution shall be deemed to refer, in
    lieu of such basic rate, to the per annum gross rate which an
    employee receiving such basic rate immediately prior to August 1,
    1967, would receive (without regard to such statutory provision or
    resolution) under subsection (b) of this section on and after such
    date.
    (d) Compensation of employees in office of Senator; limitation;
      titles of positions
      (1)(A) Except as is otherwise provided in subparagraphs (B) and
    (C), the aggregate of gross compensation paid employees in the
    office of a Senator shall not exceed during each fiscal year the
    following:

      fiscal year, as determined by the latest census (provisional or
      otherwise) conducted prior to such first day by the Bureau of the
      Census within the Department of Commerce.

      If the population of any State, as determined under the preceding
    sentence, is not evenly divisible by 1,000,000, the population of

    included in the Senator's term of office, counting any fraction of
    a month as a full month.
      (B) In the case of gross compensation paid to employees in the
    office of a Senator for the period commencing January 1, 1988, and
    ending September 30, 1988, the total of -

      (but without regard to this subparagraph), exceeds (II) the
      aggregate amount of gross compensation which is paid to employees
      in the office of such Senator for that part of such fiscal year
      which precedes January 1, 1988, plus
        (iv) the amount described in section 58(b)(2)(A)(iii) of this
      title.

    In the event that the term of office of a Senator begins after the
    first month of the period which commences January 1, 1988, and ends
    September 30, 1988, or ends (except by reason of death,
    resignation, or expulsion) before the last month of such period,
    the amount computed pursuant to clause (iii) of this subparagraph
    (but before application of this sentence) shall be recalculated as
    follows: such amount, as so computed, shall be divided by 9, and
    multiplied by the number of months in such period which are
    included in the Senator's term of office, counting any fraction of
    a month as a full month.
      (C) In the case of gross compensation paid to employees in the
    office of a Senator for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1988,
    or any fiscal year thereafter, the total of -

      employees in the office of such Senator for such year, plus
        (ii) the expenses paid to or on behalf of such Senator under
      authority of section 58 of this title (as determined after
      application of subsection (b) of such section, but without regard
      to paragraph (3)(A)(ii) and (iv) thereof),

    shall not exceed the aggregate of - 
        (iii) the amount determined under subparagraph (A) for such
      year, plus
        (iv) the amount described in section 58(b)(3) of this title (as
      determined without regard to subparagraph (A)(ii) and (iv)
      thereof).

      (2) Within the limits prescribed by paragraph (1) of this
    subsection, Senators may fix the number and the rates of
    compensation of employees in their respective offices. The salary
    of an employee in a Senator's office shall not be fixed under this
    paragraph at a rate less than $2,444 or in excess of $160,659 per

    minority of the Senate), or $162,515, in case of an employee of any
    standing committee (including the majority and minority policy
    committees) of the Senate. For the purpose of this paragraph, an
    employee of a subcommittee shall be considered to be an employee of
    the full committee.

    Secretary of the Senate shall be paid gross compensation at a rate
    less than $2,444 or in excess of $160,659 unless expressly

      1990 - Pub. L. 101-520 amended section generally. Prior to

    $250,000 during any fiscal year. With the approval of the Sergeant

    Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper such sums as may be necessary, not
    exceeding $1,000, to defray official travel expenses in assisting
    the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper in carrying out his duties. Any
    such employee shall, as soon as practicable, furnish to the
    Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper a detailed voucher for such
    expenses incurred and make settlement with respect to any amount so
    advanced. For purposes of this section, official travel expenses

    to exceed $250,000 during any fiscal year" for "not to exceed
    $167,000 during any fiscal year" was executed by making the

-STATUTE-
    (1) Designation
      A Senator may designate employees in his office to assist him in
    connection with his membership on committees of the Senate. An
    employee may be designated with respect to only one committee.
    (2) Certification; professional staff privileges
      An employee designated by a Senator under this section shall be
    certified by him to the chairman and ranking minority member of the
    committee with respect to which such designation is made. Such
    employee shall be accorded all privileges of a professional staff
    member (whether permanent or investigatory) of such committee
    including access to all committee sessions and files, except that
    any such committee may restrict access to its sessions to one staff
    member per Senator at a time and require, if classified material is
    being handled or discussed, that any staff member possess the
    appropriate security clearance before being allowed access to such
    material or to discussion of it. Nothing contained in this
    paragraph shall be construed to prohibit a committee from adopting
    policies and practices with respect to the application of this

      Chairman of Senate Select Committee on Ethics of employee in
      office of that Senator to perform part-time service for
      Committee; amount reimbursable; procedure applicable

-STATUTE-
      Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, a Senator who is the
    Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Ethics
    may designate one employee employed in his Senate office to perform
    part-time service for such Committee, and such Committee shall
    reimburse such Senator for such employee's services for the
    Committee by transferring from the contingent fund of the Senate,
    upon vouchers approved by the Chairman of such Committee, to such
    Senator's Administrative, Clerical, and Legislative Assistance
    Allowance, with respect to each pay period of such employee, an
    amount which bears the same ratio to such employee's salary (but
    not more than one-half of such salary) for such period, as the
    portion of the time spent (or to be spent) by such employee in
    performing services for such Committee during such period bears to
    the total time for which such employee worked (or will work) during
    such period (as determined by the Chairman of such Committee) for
    such Committee and in such Senator's office. Any funds transferred
    under authority of the preceding sentence to a Senator's
    Administrative, Clerical, and Legislative Assistance (!1) shall be
    available for the same purposes and in like manner as funds therein
    which were not transferred thereto under such authority. For
    purposes of any law of the United States, a State, a territory, or
    a political subdivision thereof, an employee designated by a
    Senator pursuant to this section shall be considered to be an
    employee of such Senator's Senate office and not an employee of the
    Senate Select Committee on Ethics.

    preceding sentence shall be in accordance with normal business
    practice and shall be at fair market value. Receipts from disposals

    Officer of the House of Representatives.
      (2) If disposal in accordance with paragraph (1) is not feasible

    paragraph (3), a donation under this paragraph - 
        (A) shall be at no cost to the Government; and
        (B) may be made only if the used equipment has no recoverable
      value because disposal in accordance with paragraph (1), under
      the most favorable terms available to the Government, would
      result in a loss to the Government.

      (3)(A) In the case of computer-related equipment, during fiscal
    year 1998 the Chief Administrative Officer may donate directly the
    equipment to a public elementary or secondary school of the
    District of Columbia without regard to whether the donation meets
    the requirements of the second sentence of paragraph (2), except
    that the total number of workstations donated as a result of this
    paragraph may not exceed 1,000.
      (B) In this paragraph - 
        (i) the term "computer-related equipment" includes desktops,
      laptops, printers, file servers, and peripherals which are
      appropriate for use in public school education;
        (ii) the terms "public elementary school" and "public secondary
      school" have the meaning given such terms in section 7801 of
      title 20; and
        (iii) the term "workstation" includes desktops and peripherals,
      file servers and peripherals, laptops and peripherals, printers

      (4) The Committee on House Oversight of the House of
    Representatives shall have authority to prescribe regulations to

      (5) As used in this section - 
        (A) the term "State" means a State of the United States, the

    with a judicial proceeding by a court or authority responsible for
    the conduct of that proceeding, to serve -
