IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the members of the caucus by vote of such membership
may add additional senators to the caucus membership or invite additional
senators to caucus meetings who in the discretion of the members of the caucus
will aid the caucus collectively or its individual members in understanding and
resolving the problems, issues, and concerns of the caucus.
