                          Codification

    Words ``prior to April 1, 1991'', referred to in subsec. (a), were

which amended subsec. (a) generally, to reflect the probable intent of 
Congress.
    Subsec. (b)(2), which authorized the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper 
of the Senate to appoint and fix the compensation of not more than 15 
employees to carry out the functions of the Photographic Studio and 
provided that the Secretary of the Senate make payments of compensation, 
etc., of such personnel from certain funds appropriated for the Senate, 
was omitted in view of section 61f-7 of this title which abolished all 
statutory positions in the Office of the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper 
of the Senate, with specified exceptions, effective Oct. 1, 1981, and 
authorized the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate to appoint 
and fix the compensation of such employees as appropriate.
