     photograph in the Chamber of the United States Senate.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the

  Ms. COLLINS. I ask unanimous consent that the resolution be agreed to 
and the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

       Resolved, That paragraph 1 of Rule IV of the Rules for the 
     Regulation of the Senate Wing of the United States Capitol 
     (prohibiting the taking of pictures in the Senate Chamber) be
