GOVERNMENT INFORMATION GP 114TH CONGRESS REPORT 1st Session SENATE 114-112 AUTHORIZING EXPENDITURES BY COMMITTEES OF THE SENATE AUGUST 4, 2015.-Ordered to be printed Mr. BLUNT, from the Committee on Rules and Administration, submitted the following REPORT [To accompany S. Res. 73] The Committee on Rules and Administration, having considered an original resolution (S. Res. 73) authorizing expenditures by com- mittees of the Senate for the periods March 1, 2015 through Sep- tember 30, 2015, October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016, and October 1, 2016 through February 28, 2017, reports it favorably without amendment and recommends that the resolution pass. CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT Since the 101st Congress, the Rules Committee has favorably re- ported out and the Senate has agreed to an omnibus biennial com- mittee funding authorization for the standing, special, and select committees of the Senate. This procedure has consistently received strong support from committee chairmen and ranking members. During the 113th Congress, the Rules Committee reported two separate funding resolutions and issued expenditure guidance to address sequester and appropriations reductions. The result of these efforts was to bring committee spending into closer alignment with available appropriations. For the 114th Congress, S. Res. 73 authorizes $198,175,601 for committees, which is slightly less than the total amount authorized for the 113th Congress by S. Res. 64 and S. Res. 253. While this authorization is consistent with current and anticipated appropriations levels for the Congress, the Rules Committee will continue to monitor appropriations and will provide additional guidance to committees if necessary. Prior to the 107th Congress, most committees allocated their funding two-thirds for the majority and one-third for the minority pursuant to Rule XXVII. Beginning with the 107th Congress, bien- nial negotiations over the allocation ratios for committee funding 94-068
