conditions as apply to reimbursement of the expense under this section.
(j) Advances from Senate contingent fund for travel expenses for official business trips;

commencement of such trip and in accordance with applicable regulations of the Senate Committee
on Rules and Administration, obtain from any moneys in the contingent fund of the Senate which are
available to him for purposes specified in subsection (a)(6) of this section, such advance sum as he
shall certify (and be accountable for), to the Secretary of the Senate, to be necessary to defray some
or all of the expenses to be incurred on such trip which expenses are reimbursable under the
preceding provisions of this section. The receipt by any Senator for any sum so advanced to him or
his order out of the contingent fund of the Senate by the Secretary of the Senate shall be taken and
passed by the accounting officers of the Government as a full and sufficient voucher; but it shall be
the duty of such Senator (or employee of his office, as the case may be), as soon as practicable, to
furnish to the Secretary of the Senate a detailed voucher of the expenses incurred for the travel with
respect to which the sum was so advanced, and make settlement with respect to such sum.
