CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Since 1989, this Committee has adopted a biennial funding au-
thorization for committees of the Senate. This policy has received
strong support from the committee chairmen and ranking mem-
bers.
Beginning in the 106th Congress, the biennial funding period
was divided into 3 segments: the 7-month period 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.
As a result of the federal elections in November, 2004, the Sen-
ate in the 109th Congress is comprised of 55 Republican Members,
44 Democratic Members and 1 Independent. On January 6, 2005,
the Senate Joint Leadership in a colloquy on the Senate floor an-
nounced the funding and allocation assumptions for the biennial
committee funding of the 109th Congress.
