transcribers; payments from Senate contingent fund
The Secretary of the Senate is on and after June 5, 1981, authorized
to employ, by contract or otherwise, substitute reporters of debates and
expert transcribers at daily rates of compensation, or temporary
reporters of debates and expert transcribers at annual rates of
compensation; no temporary reporters of debates or expert transcribers
may be employed under authority of this provision for more than ninety

section shall be made from the contingent fund of the Senate upon
vouchers approved by the Secretary of the Senate.
(Pub. L. 89-90, July 27, 1965, 79 Stat. 266; Pub. L. 97-12, title I,
Sec. 105, June 5, 1981, 95 Stat. 61.)
Codification
``On and after June 5, 1981'' substituted in text for ``hereafter'',
which probably meant after the date of enactment of Pub. L. 97-12 rather
than the date of enactment of Pub. L. 89-90.
Amendments
1981--Pub. L. 97-12 amended section generally, substituting
``authorized to employ, by contract or otherwise, substitute reporters
of debates and expert transcribers at daily rates of compensation, or
temporary reporters of debates and expert transcribers at annual rates
of compensation; no temporary reporters of debates or expert
transcribers may be employed under authority of this provision for more
than ninety days in any fiscal year; and payments made under authority
of this section shall be made from the contingent fund of the Senate
upon vouchers approved by the Secretary of the Senate'' for ``authorized
to obtain by contract or otherwise, emergency reporters and transcribers
as may be necessary, payments therefor to be made form the contingent
fund of the Senate''.
