  SA 2450. Mr. PAUL submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
him to the bill H.R. 22, to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to 
exempt employees with health coverage under TRICARE or the Veterans 
Administration from being taken into account for purposes of 
determining the employers to which the employer mandate applies under 
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; which was ordered to 
lie on the table; as follows:

     leadership organization.
       (b) Exception.--The prohibition under subsection (a) shall
