    (a) The Majority Leader and the Minority Leader, are each 
authorized to appoint and fix the compensation of not more than four 
individual consultants, on a temporary or intermittent basis, at a 
daily rate of compensation not in excess of the per diem equivalent of 
the highest gross rate of annual compensation which may be paid to 
employees of a standing committee of the Senate.
    The Secretary of the Senate is authorized to appoint and fix the 
compensation of not more than two individual consultants, on a 
temporary or intermittent basis, at a daily rate of compensation not in 
excess of the per diem equivalent of the highest gross rate of annual 
compensation which may be paid to employees of a standing committee of 
the Senate.
    The Legislative Counsel of the Senate (subject to the approval of

individuals to consultant positions under authority of this section, 
may appoint one such individual to such position at an annual rate of 
compensation rather than at a daily rate of compensation, but such 
annual rate shall not be in excess of the highest gross rate of annual 
compensation which may be paid to employees of a standing committee of 
the Senate.
