CHAPTER 4--OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES OF SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
 
Sec. 61f-1a. Travel expenses of Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper 
        of Senate
        
    For the purpose of carrying out his duties, the Sergeant at Arms and 
Doorkeeper of the Senate is authorized to incur official travel expenses 
during each fiscal year not to exceed the sums made available for such 
purpose under appropriations Acts. With the approval of the Sergeant at 
Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate and in accordance with such 
regulations as may be promulgated by the Senate Committee on Rules and 
Administration, the Secretary of the Senate is authorized to advance to 
the Sergeant at Arms or to any designated employee under the 
jurisdiction of the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper, such sums as may be 
necessary to defray official travel expenses incurred in carrying out 
the duties of the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper. The receipt of any 
such sum so advanced to the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper or to any 
designated employee shall be taken and passed by the accounting officers 
of the Government as a full and sufficient voucher; but it shall be the 
duty of the traveler, as soon as practicable, to furnish to the 
Secretary of the Senate a detailed voucher of the expenses incurred for 
the travel with respect to which the sum was so advanced, and make 
settlement with respect to such sum. Payments under this section shall 
be made from funds included in the appropriations account, within the 
contingent fund of the Senate, for the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper 
of the Senate, upon vouchers approved by the Sergeant at Arms and 
Doorkeeper.

                               Amendments

    1990--Pub. L. 101-520 amended section generally. Prior to amendment, 
section read as follows: ``For the purpose of carrying out his duties, 
the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate is authorized to incur 
official travel expenses not to exceed $250,000 during any fiscal year. 
With the approval of the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper, the Secretary 
of the Senate is authorized to advance to any designated employee under 
the jurisdiction of the 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 includes travel 
expenses incurred in connection with training of employees only if the 
training has been approved by the Committee on Rules and Administration 
of the Senate. Payments under this section shall be made from funds 
included in the appropriation `Miscellaneous Items' under the heading 
`Contingent Expenses of the Senate' upon vouchers approved by the 
Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper.''
    1988--Pub. L. 100-458, which directed the substitution of ``not to 
exceed $250,000 during any fiscal year'' for ``not to exceed $167,000 
during any fiscal year'' was executed by making the substitution for 
``not exceeding $167,000 during any fiscal year'' as the probable intent 
of Congress because of absence of ``not to exceed'' in text.
    1981--Pub. L. 97-12 substituted ``$167,000'' for ``$92,000''.
    1979--Pub. L. 96-86 substituted ``$92,000'' for ``$25,000''.
    1978--Pub. L. 95-391 substituted ``$25,000'' for ``$10,000''.
