CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Since the 101st Congress, the Rules Committee has reported out
and the Senate has agreed to an omnibus biennial committee fund-
ing authorization for the standing, special and select committees of
the Senate. This procedure has received strong support from com-
mittee chairmen and ranking members over the succeeding Con-
gresses.
Beginning in the 106th Congress, the biennial committee funding
fiscal year structure was divided into 3 segments: the 7-month pe-
riod from March 1 through September 30 of the first calendar year
of the Congress; the 12-month period from October 1 of the first
calendar year through September 30 of the second calendar year;
and, the 5-month period from October 1 of the second calendar year
through the last day of February of the third calendar year. S. Res.
89 continues this practice.
As a result of the federal elections in November, 2006, the Sen-
ate in the 110th Congress is comprised of 49 Democratic Members,
49 Republican Members and 2 Independents. On January 12, 2007,
the Senate Joint Leadership in a colloquy on the Senate floor an-
nounced an agreement on committee funding for the 110th Con-
