Codification Section was formerly classified to section 61f–1a of this title prior to editorial reclassification and renumbering as this section.

1990—Pub. L. 101–520 amended section generally. Prior to amendment, section read as follows: “For the purpose of carrying out his duties, the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate is authorized to incur official travel expenses not to exceed $250,000 during any fiscal year. With the approval of the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper, the Secretary of the Senate is authorized to advance to any designated employee under the jurisdiction of the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper such sums as may be necessary, not exceeding $1,000, to defray official travel expenses in assisting the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper in carrying out his duties. Any such employee shall, as soon as practicable, furnish to the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper a detailed voucher for such expenses incurred and make settlement with respect to any amount so advanced. For purposes of this section, official travel expenses includes travel expenses incurred in connection with training of employees only if the training has been approved by the Committee on Rules and Administration of the Senate. Payments under this section shall be made from funds included in the appropriation ‘Miscellaneous Items’ under the heading ‘Contingent Expenses of the Senate’ upon vouchers approved by the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper.” 1988—Pub. L. 100–458, which directed the substitution of “not to exceed $250,000 during any fiscal year” for “not to exceed $167,000 during any fiscal year” was executed by making the substitution for “not exceeding $167,000 during any fiscal year” as the probable intent of Congress because of absence of “not to exceed” in text. 1981—Pub. L. 97–12 substituted “$167,000” for “$92,000”. 1979—Pub. L. 96–86 substituted “$92,000” for “$25,000”. 1978—Pub. L. 95–391 substituted “$25,000” for “$10,000”.
