TITLE 2--THE CONGRESS
CHAPTER 4--OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES OF SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Sec. 65c. Expense allowance for Secretary of Senate, Sergeant at
Arms and Doorkeeper of Senate, and Secretaries for Senate
Majority and Minority
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, there is hereby
established an account, within the Senate, to be known as the ``Expense
Allowance for the Secretary of the Senate, Sergeant at Arms and
Doorkeeper of the Senate and Secretaries for the Majority and for the
Minority, of the Senate'' (hereinafter in this section referred to as
the ``Expense Allowance''). For each fiscal year (commencing with the
fiscal year ending September 30, 1981) there shall be available from the
Expense Allowance an expense allotment not to exceed $3,000 for each of
the above specified officers. Amounts paid from the expense allotment of
any such officer shall be paid to him only as reimbursement for actual
expenses incurred by him and upon certification and documentation by him
of such expenses. Amounts paid to any such officer pursuant to this
section shall not be reported as income and shall not be allowed as a
deduction under title 26.
(b) For the fiscal year ending September 30, 1981, and the
succeeding fiscal year, the Secretary of the Senate shall transfer, for
each such year, $8,000 to the Expense Allowance from ``Miscellaneous
Items'' in the contingent fund of the Senate. For the fiscal year ending
September 30, 1983, and for each fiscal year thereafter, there are
authorized to be appropriated to the Expense Allowance such funds as may
be necessary to carry out the provisions of subsection (a) of this
section.
(Pub. L. 97-51, Sec. 119, Oct. 1, 1981, 95 Stat. 964; Pub. L. 98-63,
title I, July 30, 1983, 97 Stat. 334; Pub. L. 99-514, Sec. 2, Oct. 22,
1986, 100 Stat. 2095.)
Amendments
1986--Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 99-514 substituted ``Internal Revenue
Code of 1986'' for ``Internal Revenue Code of 1954'', which for purposes
of codification was translated as ``title 26'' thus requiring no change
in text.
1983--Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 98-63, which directed that ``$3,000'' be
substituted for ``$2,000'' in first sentence of subsec. (a), was
executed by making the substitution in second sentence as the probable
intent of Congress.
Effective Date of 1983 Amendment
Title I of Pub. L. 98-63 provided that the amendment made by Pub. L.
98-63 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after Oct. 1, 1982.
