Mr. Howard O. Greene, Jr.

Dear Howard:
I am writing to request an interpretation of the Republican Conference Rules.
Specifically, under Rule IV, seniority for newly elected Senators dates from the Constitutional time of the convening of Congress and service prior to that time to complete an unexpired term shall not affect the seniority of a Senator. However, the rule provides two exceptions: the death of a Senator or "the inability [of his predecessor] to serve".
I am seeking election to the New Hampshire State Senate. New state Senators are to be sworn in on December 5, 1990. If I am elected, New Hampshire law will prevent me from holding my present office and the office of state Senator simultaneously. Does New Hampshire law constitute "inability to serve" for purposes of calculating my successor's seniority if I were to leave my present office to be sworn in as state Senator on December 5?

Sincerely yours,
(signature)

REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE RULES
NOVEMBER 7, 1986.

I.
At the beginning of each Congress, or within one week thereafter, a Republican Party Conference shall be held. At that Conference there should be elected the following officers:
Floor Leader
Assistant Floor Leader
Chairman of the Conference
Secretary of the Conference
Chairman of Policy Committee
Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee

Following the election of the party officers, the membership of the Policy Committee shall be chosen. The Policy Committee shall consist of 22 members. The Chairman of the Conference, the Secretary of the Conference, the Floor Leader, the Assistant Floor Leader, the Chairman of the Policy Committee, the Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (amended December 2, 1982), the President pro tem of the Senate (if a Republican), and the Chairmen (if Republicans) of the standing committees of the Senate listed in paragraph 2 of Rule XXV of the Standing Rules of the Senate shall serve as members ex officio of the Policy Committee.
Such additional members as may be necessary shall be appointed by the Floor Leader, subject to approval by the Conference. These members so appointed and confirmed shall serve for 2 years and may be reelected to serve for an additional 2 years. A member may serve for 4 consecutive years and no longer, except in an ex officio capacity, but then shall be eligible for later service on the Policy Committee only after an interval of 2 years.
In all contested elections, vote shall be by secret written ballot.
The term of office of all party officers herein provided shall extend for not more than 2 years, and shall expire at the close of each Congress.
The Floor Leader shall be an ex officio member of all committees of the Conference.

II.
The Chairman may call a Conference at any time, and shall call a Conference whenever requested to do so by the Policy Committee or in writing by five or more Senators. The Policy Committee shall meet at least once in 2 weeks, on a fixed day of the week and at a fixed hour to be determined by the Committee. It may meet at any

(1)


(page 9)
2

time on the call of its Chairman. The Committee shall permit any Senator to appear before it upon his request to present any matter in which he is interested.

III. DUTY OF PARTY OFFICERS
The Chairman of the Conference shall preside at all Conference meetings, and perform such other duties as may be assigned to him by this resolution or by the Conference.
The Secretary shall keep accurate minutes of all Conference proceedings. The minutes of the Conference and of all meetings of committees of the Conference shall be kept by the Secretary for the Minority or Majority as the case may be, which minutes shall be open to inspection by any member of the Conference. The Secretary and Secretary for the Minority or Majority as the case may be, respectively, shall notify members of all Conference and committee meetings. In the absence of the Chairman, the Secretary shall have the same powers and duties to call meetings of the Conference as the Chairman.
The Floor Leader shall perform the customary duties of the Majority or Minority Leader, as the case may be, on the floor of the Senate, and shall have full authority to deal with all questions of procedure after consulting the Republican Senators who are concerned.
The Assistant Floor Leader shall assist in securing attendance of members at Party Conferences and upon the floor of the Senate when their presence is considered necessary by the Chairman or the Floor Leader, and shall perform such other duties as the Chairman or Floor Leader may require.
The Policy Committee shall consider the legislative program in the Senate and the question whether any Party policy is involved, shall prepare and present recommendations for action by the Conference, and advise all Senators on legislative matters which they desire to present to the Policy Committee.

IV.
A Committee on Committees shall be appointed at the beginning of each Congress to prepare and recommend to the Conference the complete assignment of Republican Senators to committees listed in Rule XXV, paragraph 2 of the Standing Rules of the Senate, as well as the Committee on Rules and Administraton, and shall recommend the filling of vacancies occurring during the Congress. All other committee assignments shall be made by the Floor Leader unless otherwise specified by law. The Committee shall be appointed by the Chairman of the Conference immediately after his election subject to confirmation by the Conference.
Subsequent to the selection of committee members, the Republican members of each standing committee at the beginning of each Congress shall select from their number a chairman or ranking minority member, who need not be the member with the longest consecutive service on such committee, subject to confirmation by the Conference. But in any event the selection shall be by a majority of the Republican members of such committee.


(page 10)
3

If the Republican Conference shall fail to approve a recommendation of any such standing committee for the position of chairman or ranking minority member, the matter shall be recommitted to such committee with or without instructions.
With the exception of chairman or ranking member, rank on each committee shall be determined by length of service on the committee.
This rule shall not apply to any committee membership or chairman or ranking Minority position held prior to the 93d Congress.
Except as otherwise provided by this rule, once selected and confirmed, no member of any committee shall be deprived of his assignment or his rank on a committee except by the Conference.
In all elections pursuant to this rule, vote shall be by recorded written ballot and the result of any such ballot shall be announced to the Conference and shall be made openly available to the public.

SERVICE AS CHAIRMAN OR RANKING MINORITY MEMBER
The majority or minority leader or assistant majority or minority leader shall not serve as chairman or ranking member on any standing committee or on any joint committees the membership of which is not determined by ranking position on a standing committee; nor shall any member serve as chairman except in accordance with the Reorganization Act of 1970 or ranking minority member on more than one standing plus not more than one joint committee; the membership of which is not determined by ranking position on a standing committee; but any member thus required to relinquish a chairmanship or ranking minority member position will assume the position first in seniority following the new chairman or ranking minority member, so long as the respective leadership is held, and when such leadership position is changed the member will revert to his position on that committee, if he has not previously given up said committee or been assigned to another committee.
Provided, however, that any member who is, during the 92d Congress a ranking member of one standing committee and one joint committee may retain such positions so long as he remains a member of such joint committee.

BUMPING RIGHTS
Where a Senator has served on a committee, and has lost his membership thereon by a change of committee ratio he shall have seniority over any and all other Senators to the first vacancy on the committee from which he was removed.

LIMITATION ON COMMITTEE SERVICE
No Senator shall serve at anytime on more than one of the following committees: Committee on Appropriations, Committee on Armed Services, Committee on Finance, and Committee on Foreign Relations.
Notwithstanding the limitation contained in this subparagraph, a Senator who on the day proceeding the effective date of section 132 of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970 was a member of


(page 11)
4

more than one such committee may continue to serve as a member of each such committee of which he was a member on that day as long as his service on that committee remains continuous after that day.

ASSIGNMENTS OF NEWLY ELECTED SENATORS
The Committee on Committees is instructed to recommend to the conference assignments of newly elected Senators as follows: Each newly elected Senator shall have one choice for a committee assignment before any of the newly elected Senators may make a second choice. The order of choice in both cases shall be as follows: (1) previous service in the Senate; (2) previous service in the House; (3) previous service as a Governor of his State; (4) those Members not meeting any of the preceding criteria shall have their order of choice determined by a drawing.
(highlighted) Seniority for Senators shall date from the Constitutional time of the convening of Congress, January 3d, and appointment to fill an unexpired term prior to that time shall not affect the seniority of a Member, except in those cases where the appointment is made to fill a vacancy occasioned by the death or inability to serve of his predecessor. In such event seniority shall commence from the date of the appointment. This provision becomes effective with the 97th Congress and relates only to date of service considerations. (end highlight)

V.
A National Republican Senatorial Committee (amended December 2, 1982)1 shall be appointed at the beginning of each Congress by the Chairman of the Conference, subject to confirmation by the Conference.

VI.
No action by the Conference upon any matter pending or to be proposed in the Senate shall be binding in any way on members in casting their votes thereon.

VII.
These rules may be amended at any time by a majority vote of the Conference, providing notice of the amendment has been given at least 1 week in advance to every member of the Conference that action will be sought upon the subject covered by the amendment.

1 (Originally adopted February 18, 1944 and amended by the Conference, December 15, 1944, December 30, 1946, January 3, 1949, January 11, 1951, March 6, 1953, January 9, 1957, July 11, 1961, January 10, 1967, September 24, 1969, October 7, 1969, February 9, 1971, January 8 and 9, 1973, June 5, 1973, January 15, 1975.)

SUPPLEMENT TO REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE RULES
Previous actions of Republican Conferences and of the Committee on Committees, to be considered as precedents

WAIVER OF SENIORITY RIGHTS
"Where a Republican member of any committee has waived his right to a chairmanship of that committee because of his desire to serve as chairman of another committee, and later there is a change in Senate control, relieving said Senator of his chairmanship, he shall be restored to his position of seniority on the Committee on which he had waived his rights to the chairmanship except where such rights are voluntarily relinquished for the current Congress." (Republican Conference, January 10, 1949.)
Resolution regarding the Committee Seats of Senator Karl E. Mundt agreed to because of his long illness, the action taken in this case to be used as a possible precedent in future similar cases.
"Resolved, That the Republican Conference declare the Committee assignments of Senator Karl E. Mundt temporarily vacant and that the regular procedure for the filling of those vacancies take place.
"Upon completion of the assignments, the remaining vacancy be assigned to Senator Mundt, with the understanding of all concerned that when the Senator is able to again participate his committee positions are to be re-estabished.
"Further, that the vote on the position be secret and that the vote be announced only in the affirmative or the negative and that the ballots be destroyed.
"If the action is affirmative the Chairman appoint a committee to call on the Mundts and inform and assure them of our high regard and that the Conference will return his committee assignments upon his recovery." (Republican Conference, February 3, 1972.)

SERVICE RE TWO REPUBLICAN SENATORS FROM SAME STATE SERVING ON THE SAME COMMITTEE
"The Chairman recognized Senator Robert Taft, Jr. of Ohio who made inquiry concerning what the rule might be concerning two Republicans from the same State serving on the same committee. The Senator had a chance to take an assignment on the Committee on Armed Services but Senator William B. Saxbe of Ohio, his colleague, was already on the committee.
"The matter was briefly discussed and the Chairman suggested that the committee proceed on the existing principle which had been generally followed in the past, the two Republican Senators from the same State not be assigned to the same committee. He stated that the Chairman of the Republican Conference had previously appointed a committee to study all matters relating to seniority precedents for possible inclusion in the Conference Rules. The Chairman asked that a motion be made to proceed on the basis of existing precedents. It was made, duly seconded and agreed to." (Committee on Committees Minutes, January 11, 1973.)

Excerpts from minutes of a previous Republican Conference and a Steering Committee prior to 1973 to be used only for guidance in making committee assignments

PRECEDENTS IN SELECTION
"Senator White, as Chairman of the Committee on Committees, reported that he had sent a letter to all Senators (sitting and elect) outlining the new committee structure and requesting Senators to indicate their preference for assignments.
"General discussion followed on rules for allocating committee assignments.
"Mr. Loeffler explained the past basis for assignments as follows:
1. Seniority of service on committees.
2. Seniority of service in the Senate.
3. Attention to geographical distribution and balance.
4. No Senator to be assigned to serve on Finance and Appropriations at the same time.
5. No two Republican Senators from the same State to be on the same committee.
6. Ties determined by draw.
"To this Senator White added that in some cases distinctions had to be made by reference to other data such as the public offices held by a Senator before his election to Congress (Governor, etc.).
"No action was taken." (From the Minutes of the Steering Committee of November 14, 1946.)
* * * * * * *
Public offices referred to above have been over the years listed in the following order:
1. Previous service in the Senate.
2. Previous service in the House.
3. Previous service as Governor of his State.
When Senator Dirksen was first elected to the Senate in order to give him seniority over other Members of the House of Representatives also elected at the same time, length of service in the House was added as a factor and has been considered ever since. (J. Mark Trice.)

PREVIOUS PUBLIC SERVICE AS BASIS OF COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENT
"The Chairman recognized Senator Robertson who spoke of a printer's error in the listing of the Republican membership on the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry, whereby the name of Senator Kem was placed above that of Senator Thye. Senator Robertson stated that when the Committee on Committees acted, Senator Thye had been placed on the list above Senator Kem because the former had been the Governor of his State.
"The Chairman recognized Senator Kem who questioned the precedent which had been followed by the Committee on Committees whereby in the case of equal qualifications of Senators-elect for Committee service, consideration was given to their previous service in the Senate, previous service in the House of Representatives or previous service as Governor of State.


(page 14)

"The Chairman recognized Senator Robertson who made the following motion which was seconded and agreed to 'That the error in the listing of Republican Members on the Committee of Agriculture and Forestry be corrected.'" (Republican Conference Minutes, December 13, 1947.)

SECRETARY FOR THE MINORITY

November 9, 1990

Dear
As a result of the election, there will be changes in committee assignments when the 102nd Congress convenes on January 3, 1991. It is important that each Senator be on record expressing his or her latest preference for a change in committee assignments, if any. Hopefully, the Democrats will have any committee ratio changes worked out after their November 13th caucus. We intend to have our first Committee on Committees meeting shortly thereafter.
I would appreciate it if those Senators who wish changes in their committee assignments would advise me by letter on or before November 16, 1990. If no letter is received, we will assume no change is contemplated. As you are probably aware, the committees which are considered "exclusive" and which a Member may serve on only one are as follows: Appropriations, Armed Services, Finance and Foreign Relations.
Your prompt attention to this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
(signature)
Howard 0. Greene, Jr.
