IF YOUR SENATOR IS NOT IN THE SENATE CHAMBER ...
At the time of your visit to the Senate Chamber there may be comparatively
few Senators on the Floor-and your own Senator may not be present. Much of
the Senate's time must be devoted to items of routine business which have been
thoroughly studied and discussed in committee and therefore can be disposed of
by a small number of Senators.
The Majority and Minority Leaders (or other Senators acting for them) are
always present to guide legislation and to protect party interests. A bell system
keeps Senators not on the Floor advised of the legislative situation. Party Whips
are ready at a moment's notice to call their Colleagues to the Chamber when vital
issues are about to be decided.
Senators are among the busiest of individuals, having a multitude of responsi-
bilities requiring their personal attention. If your Senator is not on the Floor,
or in his office attending to the many problems and requests of his constituents, he
is probably engaged in a committee hearing or investigation.
To insure the efficient accomplishment of its work, the Senate has created 16
permanent standing committees. Bills, resolutions, and other matters requiring
action by the Senate normally are referred to the appropriate committee for initial
examination and subsequent report. Each Senator is a member of at least two
standing committees and also of several subcommittees. In addition, assignments
to special, select, and joint committees (or commissions) are spread among the
membership.
NOTE.-A survey of a typical Congress (84th) indicated that the Senate
had held 3,951 committee hearings and executive sessions (11,677 hours)
as contrasted with 224 sessions of the Senate (1,361 hours).

The United States Senate
Powers "All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress
of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of
Representatives."-Article I, Section 1, of the Constitution,
Composition "The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators
from each State, elected. by the people thereof, for six years; and each
Senator shall have one vote."-From the 17th Amendment to the
Constitution.
Qualifications "No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the age
of thirty years, and been nine years a citizen of the United States, and
who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that State for which
he shall be chosen."-Article I, Section 3, Paragraph 3, of the
Constitution.
The Senate Chamber
The present Senate Chamber was begun in 1851, and occupied by the Senate on Jan-
uary 4, 1859. From July 1949 to January 1951 the old roof of the Chamber, skylights,
and galleries were replaced with steel and concrete, and the whole of the interior redeco-
rated in the early Federal architectural style.
Senate All desks in the Chamber are of the style used in 1819. Each desk has
Desks an inkwell, a penholder, and a glass shaker filled with blotting sand.
The desks in the northwest and northeast corners of the Chamber are
used by the Secretaries of the Majority and the Minority, respectively.
Vice The panel behind the Vice President is constructed of Hauteville
President's cream marble, flanked by red Levanto marble columns and pilasters.
Rostrum In recesses on either side of the rostrum are the two old snuffboxes,
which are still kept filled.
The Gavel The solid ivory gavel now used by the Vice President was presented
to the Senate in 1954 by the Vice President of India as a token of his
country's friendship for the United States. The gavel formerly used
(no longer serviceable) now occupies a position of honor on the
rostrum when the Senate is in session. According to tradition, that
gavel, of ivory capped with silver, had been used in the Senate since
its first meeting, in 1789.

Statuary The 20 busts which line the upper wall of the Chamber represent all
Vice Presidents from John Adams to Thomas A. Hendricks, both
inclusive, with the exception of Henry Wilson, whose bust is located
in the Vice President's Room, in which he died.
Sculpture Over the rostrum is the motto "E Pluribus Unum" (One Out of
and Mottos Many)-the motto on our coat-of-arms; over the east entrance, the
sculpture "Patriotism" and motto "Annuit Coeptis" (God Has
Favored Our Undertakings) ; over the west entrance, the sculpture
"Courage" and motto "Novas Ordo Seclorum" (A New Order of
the Ages) ; over the south entrance, the sculpture "Wisdom" and
motto "In God We Trust"-a motto on our coinage.
Ceiling The design on the glass in the dome is that of the great seal of the
United States.
Pages Pages are appointed on recommendation of Senators and must have
completed the eighth grade of school, and be not less than 14 years
nor more than 17 years of age.
Official The official record of the Senate is the journal. Verbatim proceed-
Reporters ings are taken down by a staff of shorthand reporters, and their tran-
scripts published in the daily Congressional Record. These reporters
may generally be noted writing beside the Senator speaking.
Cloakrooms Cloakrooms for the Senators are located beneath the galleries on the
south side of the Chamber-at the east end the Republican, and at
the west end the Democratic. Behind the Vice President's rostrum
is a long room for the Senators known as the Senate Lobby, where
there are desks for writing and dictating.
Press, The seats in the center of the north gallery are reserved for accredited
Radio, TV, correspondents of daily newspapers. On either side, indicated by
Periodicals brass railing, are the front rows set aside on the east for the press,
radio, and TV correspondents, and on the west for writers for national
periodicals.
