WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, January 6) -- When the full Senate meets to try President Bill Clinton on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice, tickets for observers will be distributed through individual Senate offices.

The Senate Radio and Television Gallery says there will be a total of 596 tickets to the impeachment trial, set to begin Thursday morning.

Each senator will receive four tickets, one for the family gallery and three public seats.

Twenty-two tickets are reserved for diplomats, 20 for the White House and 20 for the House of Representatives. The Supreme Court will get nine tickets and 50 are reserved for regular public access.

People wishing to get the public access tickets will have to contact their senator's office and the access granted by these tickets is limited to 15 minutes on a rotating basis.

Some of the remaining 75 tickets would be distributed to members of the news media and Senate staff members.

The tickets expire daily and new tickets must be secured each day.
