Bill > SRes73

This resolution authorizes expenditures and operational activities for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence for a two-year period from March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2027. The resolution specifically enables the committee to make expenditures from the Senate's contingent fund, employ personnel, and use services from other government departments with prior consent. The resolution sets precise spending limits for three distinct periods: from March 1, 2025, through September 30, 2025 (with a total budget of $5,261,497), from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026 (with a budget of $9,019,709), and from October 1, 2026, through February 28, 2027 (with a budget of $3,758,212). In each period, a small portion of the budget (ranging from $7,292 to $17,500) is allocated for hiring individual consultants. The resolution also specifies that expenses will be paid from the Senate's contingent fund, with certain exceptions for routine payments like salaries, telecommunications, and postal services, and authorizes agency contributions for employee compensation across these periods. The committee's activities are governed by Senate Resolution 400 from 1976, which outlines its powers, duties, and jurisdictional scope.
