SENATE RESOLUTION 28--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. 28

         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 
     consideration of 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 paragraph 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.
