MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: S. Res. 586--A Resolution Reorganizing the
Committee System of the Senate
1. S. Res. 586 was submitted on 15 October 1976 by Senators ?
Stevenson (D., Ill . ) and Brock (R., Tenn.), with 11 cosponsors.
According to a memorandum prepared by W. Clark McFadden, of the
Senate Armed Services Committee, a number of Senators intend that S. Res.
586 be taken up as the first order of business in the 95th Congress.
According to a staffer on the Senate Rules and Administration Committee,
Senator Stevenson is expected to resubmit the Resolution on 4 January;
hearings already have been scheduled by the Rules Committee for 5 and
7 January.
2. Whether or not the Resolution goes anywhere, and regardless
of changes that may be made to it, there are several interesting aspects
of the Resolution that are or may be relevant to this Officeis activities
and responsibilities vis-a-vis congressional committees. (A copy of the
Resolution is attached.),
a. The Senaterwould be required to decide, before the end
of the 95th. Congress, whether S. Res. 400 and the Select Committee
on Intelligence established thereunder should remain in force. The -
new Committee on Governmental Affairs would report to the Senate
by 1 July 1978 "a resolution concerning the disposition of the jurisdic-
tion and functions of the Select Committee on Intelligence." If the
Senate thus decides that intelligence oversight is best handled by
some means other than that currently employed, the present
'Select Committee would be dissolved early in 1979: The jurisdiction
of the Select Committee is unchanged by S. Res., 586.
b. According to the Report of the Temporary Select
Committee to Study the Senate Committee System (chaired by
Senator Stevenson and co-chaired by Senator Brock), that
Committee would assign to the Foreign Relations Committee
comprehensive policy oversight for national security"; the
Armed Services Committee would be given the same mandate for
"the common defense."

c. The Committee on Armed Services also would
gain jurisdiction over national security aspects of atomic
energy, and joint jurisdiction with Foreign Relations over
foreign military sales. According to Clark McFadden,
for the first time Foreign Relations would gain explicit,
though not exclusive, jurisdiction over foreign military
_ _
assistance.
d. The Foreign Relations Committee also would be
required to study and review "matters relating to the national
security policy of the United States, and report thereon from
time to time."
? e. The new Committee on Governmental Affairs would gain
jurisdiction over matters now not within the purview of Government
Operations, including civil service, Federal buildings, and all
. "Government information including freedom of information."
_
f. The jurisdiction of the Appropriations Committee would
be essentially as now. The Temporary Select Committee rejected
proposals to return the appropriations function to the proper
standing committees.
g. Overall, the numbr of standing committees would be
reduced to 14, with one select committee; there would be no
joint committees. Senators would be limited to serving on two
standing committees, one additional committee assignment,
five subcommittee assignments, one committee chairmanship,
and one subcomMittee chairmanship on each committee. Further,
in appointin.g Senators to committee positions, consideration
will be given to the legislator's present seniority and assignments.
h.: The Secretary of the Senate would maintain a computerized
schedule of all committee and subcommittee activities.
i. New scheduling rules would restrict the times at which
committee meetings could occur; roll call votes normally would not
-be in order before 2: 00 p-.m.; ancLcertain questions as to committee
jurisdiction would be subject to a ?oint of order.
