Senate Committee Expenditures Resolutions, 110th
Congress, and Funding Authorizations,
104th - 110th Congresses
Summary
All standing and select committees of the Senate, except for the Appropriations
and Ethics Committees, obtain their operating budgets pursuant to a biennial
committee funding resolution. On March 1, 2007, the Senate adopted by unanimous
consent S.Res. 89, authorizing expenditures by committees of the Senate for the
period March 1, 2007, through February 28, 2009.
On February 14, 2007, the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration held
a hearing on Senate committee expense resolutions. Under a year-long continuing
resolution setting Senate expenditures for FY2007, committee spending levels were
generally set at FY2006 levels plus a small increase to provide cost of living
adjustments (COLA) to staff salaries. Most Senate committees submitted requests
that fell within guidelines established by the Committee on Rules and Administration
that would allow the panel to mark up and report a resolution that fell within the
limitations of available resources for Senate committee activity. The panel heard
statements from the chairman and ranking member of the Select Committee on
Intelligence, and the ranking members of the Committees on Foreign Relations and
Finance, whose budget requests were higher than the established guidelines. Each
Senator offered a statement in support of their larger budgets due to anticipated
increases in workloads for their panels in the next two years. Areas accounting for
the increases included increased oversight, expansion of other committee activities,
or the need to add or retain appropriately qualified staff.
On January 12, 2007, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Minority
Leader Mitch McConnell signed a joint leadership letter stating that committee
budgets would be apportioned to reflect the membership ratio of the Senate, with up
to an additional 10% to be allocated to committee chairs for administrative expenses,
as determined by the Rules Committee. The joint leadership letter noted that no
committee budget may be allocated to reduce the Republican staff salary baseline
below that of FY2006, if that money is available.
The Senate Committee on Rules and Administration has jurisdiction over
committee funding resolutions and issues regulations governing committee funding
and staff. Committee funding and staff are also regulated by Senate rules, as well as
by statute. The funds authorized by resolution are appropriated in legislative branch
appropriations acts.
This report, which will be updated as events warrant, provides committee
funding requests and authorizations for Senate committees in the 104th-110th
Congresses.

110th Congress Committee Funding Actions
All standing and select committees of the Senate, except for the Appropriations
and Ethics Committees, obtain their operating budgets pursuant to a biennial
committee funding resolution.
On March 1, 2007, the Senate adopted by unanimous consent S.Res. 89,
authorizing expenditures by committees of the Senate for the periods March 1, 2007,
through September 30, 2007; October 1, 2007, through September 30, 2008; and
October 1, 2008, through February 28, 2009.
On February 14, 2007, the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration held
a hearing on Senate committee expense resolutions. Senator Dianne Feinstein, who
chairs the panel, noted that under a year-long continuing resolution setting Senate
expenditures, FY2007 spending levels were generally set at FY2006 levels plus a
small increase to provide cost of living adjustments (COLA) to staff salaries. The
chairwoman noted that for committee expenses, the panel expected to mark up and
report a resolution setting committee expense levels through February 28, 2009, at
100% of FY2006-authorized levels for FY2007-FY2009, plus a COLA payable in
January of calendar years 2007-2009. Senator Feinstein noted that in preparing their
biennial funding requests, all but three Senate committees submitted requests that fell
within guidelines established by the Committee on Rules and Administration that
would allow the panel to mark up and report a resolution that fell within the
limitations of available resources for Senate committee activity.1
The committee then heard statements from the chairman and ranking member
of the Select Committee on Intelligence, and the ranking members of the Committees
on Foreign Relations and Finance. The budget requests of those panels were higher
than the guidelines established by the Rules and Administration Committee. Each
Senator offered a statement in support of their larger budgets due to anticipated
increases in workloads for their panels in the next two years. Areas accounting for
the increases included increased oversight, expansion of other committee activities,
or the need to add or retain appropriately qualified staff. When the Committee on
Rules and Administration met on February 28 to mark up and report a funding
resolution, the additional funding requests made by the three panels were not

included. Senator Feinstein indicated that requests for additional funds could be met
through a reserve fund or legislative branch appropriations, if sufficient funds were
available.2
On January 12, 2007, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Minority
Leader Mitch McConnell signed a joint leadership letter stating that committee
budgets, including joint and special committees, would be apportioned to reflect the
membership ratio of the Senate, with up to an additional 10% to be allocated to
committee chairs for administrative expenses, as determined “by the Rules
Committee, with the total administrative expenses allocation for all Committees not
to exceed historic levels.” Additional administrative expenses are to be expended by
a committee chair after consultation with the committee’s ranking member. The joint
leadership letter noted that funds for committee expenses are to be “available to
chairs consistent with the Senate rules and practices of the 109th Congress,” and that
“no committee budget may be allocated to reduce the Republican staff salary baseline
below that of fiscal year 2006, if that money is available.”3
Table 1 provides Senate committee funding requests and authorizations for
Senate committees in the 110th Congress.
Senate Committee Funding Rules
The Senate biennial committee funding process applies to all Senate committees
except Appropriations4 and Ethics,5 which have permanent authorizations for their
staff and operating expenses. The Senate Committee on Rules and Administration
has jurisdiction over committee funding resolutions and issues regulations governing
committee funding and staff. Committee funding and staff are also regulated by
Senate rules, especially Rule XXVI, paragraph 9, and Rule XXVII, as well as by
statute. The funds authorized and allocated by resolution are appropriated in
legislative branch appropriations acts.
Under Senate Rule XXVI, clause 9, each Senate committee (except
Appropriations and Ethics) is required to report a funding resolution providing for
its expenses for March 1 of that year through February 28 of the following year by
January 31 of the first session in which a new Congress convenes. The rule also
allows the Committee on Rules and Administration to mandate a process by which
funds may be authorized for a two-year period. The Senate took several steps in
1999 to move to a biennial funding process that more clearly reflects a fiscal year

orientation. In the funding resolution agreed to in at the beginning of each subsequent
Congress, the aggregate authorization for each committee is apportioned among three
calendar periods — from March 1 to September 30 of the first year of a Congress,
from October 1 to September 30 of the following year, and from October 1 to the
following February 28. This permits the Senate to identify more precisely the
amounts authorized for each fiscal year and the subsequent appropriations required.
Each committee supports its request by submitting supplementary materials,
including those specified by the Rules and Administration Committee. In recent
Congresses, that panel has advised committees on the permissible increase, or
required decreases, it hopes to impose on Senate committees, compared to the
funding level in the previous Congress. Committees requesting funds in excess of
these guidelines have been asked to include a justification in their budget
submissions.6
The Rules and Administration Committee may then hold hearings at which
committee chairs, ranking minority members, and other Senators may testify. In
recent congresses, however, the committee has held hearings only on certain requests,
or has not held hearings. The Rules and Administration Committee chair will
normally introduce an omnibus resolution incorporating the amounts requested by
each of the Senate committees in their individual resolutions. The Rules and
Administration Committee will then usually meet to mark up the resolution and, after
final approval by the committee, report it to the Senate and issue an accompanying
written report. On occasions where both parties have been in agreement on the
funding resolution, it has been discharged by unanimous consent from the committee
without a formal markup or written report. In the 105th-109th Congresses, the Senate
has agreed to the funding resolution by unanimous consent with little, if any, floor
discussion.
If a committee requires additional funds after the omnibus resolution has been
agreed to, funds may be requested essentially in the same way as they were for its
two-year budget. The Senate has minimized the need for supplemental funding,
however, by allowing committees to use unspent funds from one period specified in
the omnibus resolution during the next funding period. Since the 106th Congress, the
omnibus funding resolution has also contained a special reserve from which
unexpected funding needs by any Senate committee could be met, upon the request
of its chair and ranking member, and the approval of the chair and ranking member
of the Rules and Administration Committee.
Senate Rule XXVII requires that each committee’s staff reflect the ratio of
majority and minority committee members and that the minority receive “fair
consideration” in the appointment of staff. A majority of the minority party members
of a committee may request at least one-third of the personnel funds for hiring
minority staff. This ratio is calculated after excluding funds for staff who perform
administrative and clerical functions for the committee as a whole, if any, as agreed
to by the chair and ranking minority member. Committee staff may be supplemented

such restrictions as the Committee on Rules and Administration may impose.
