Lets the Architect of the Capitol borrow money from the Senate’s contingent fund for "Miscellaneous Items" to run the Senate Restaurants under the joint resolution approved July 6, 1961. The Senate Committee on Rules and Administration must approve any loan. The Committee sets how much and how long.
