SENATE RESOLUTION 82--TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT TIME FOR LEGISLATION TO BE 
                                  READ

  Mr. PAUL submitted the following resolution; which was referred to 
the Committee on Rules and Administration

                               S. Res. 82

       Resolved, That (a) it shall not be in order for the Senate 
     to consider any bill, resolution, message, conference report, 
     amendment, treaty, or any other measure or matter until 1 
     session day has passed since introduction for every 20 pages 
     included in the measure or matter in the usual form plus 1 
     session day for any number of remaining pages less than 20 in 
     the usual form.
       (b)(1) Any Senator may raise a point of order that any 
     bill, resolution, message, conference report, amendment, 
     treaty, or any other measure or matter is not in order under 
     subsection (a). No motion to table the point of order shall 
     be in order.
       (2) Any Senator may move to waive a point of order raised 
     under paragraph (1) by an affirmative yea and nay vote of 
     two-thirds of the Senators duly chosen and sworn. All motions 
     to waive under this subparagraph shall be debatable 
     collectively for not to exceed 3 hours equally divided 
     between the Senator raising the point for order and the 
     Senator moving to waive the point of order or their 
     designees. A motion to waive the point of order shall not be 
     amendable.
       (3) This resolution is enacted pursuant to the power 
     granted to each House of Congress to determine the Rules of 
     its Proceedings in clause 2 of section 5 of Article I of the 
     Constitution of the United States.
