No Taxpayer Funds for Congressional First Class Flights Act

Regulations necessary to carry out this Act shall be prescribed by—

(1) the Committee on House Administration of the House of Representatives, with respect to Representatives in, and Delegates and the Resident Commissioner to, the Congress; and

(2) the Committee on Rules and Administration of the Senate, with respect to Senators.
