2 U.S.C. § 2049: Loans for Senate Restaurants

Summary

Allows the Architect of the Capitol, with approval from the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, to borrow money from the Senate’s contingent fund account called “Miscellaneous Items” when needed to run the Senate Restaurants under the joint resolution approved July 6, 1961, and related Senate resolutions. The Committee decides how much and for how long. The Secretary of the Senate makes the loan after the Committee Chairman approves a voucher. Repayments must go back into the same “Miscellaneous Items” account, be recorded for the fiscal year the loan was made, and be available again for the same purposes.
