SENATE COMMITTEE MEETINGS 

Title IV of Senate Resolution 4, 

agreed to by the Senate on February 4, 

1977, calls for establishment of a system for a computerized schedule of all 

meetings and hearings of Senate committees, subcommittees, joint committees, and committees of conference. 

This title requires all such committees 

to notify the Office of the Senate Daily 

Digest—designated by the Rules Committee—of the time, place, and purpose 

of the meetings, when scheduled, and 

any cancellations or changes in the 

meetings as they occur. 

As an additional procedure along 

with the computerization of this information, the Office of the Senate Daily 

Digest will prepare this information for 

printing in the Extensions of Remarks 

section of the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD

on Monday and Wednesday of each 

week.
