     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON PAY FOR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS 
                   IF THE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ON THE BUDGET AND 
                   APPROPRIATIONS ARE NOT COMPLETED IN A TIMELY 
                   MANNER.

       It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) both Houses of Congress should approve a concurrent 
     resolution on the budget and all the regular appropriations 
     bills before October 1 of each fiscal year;
       (2) if a concurrent resolution on the budget and all the 
     regular appropriations bills are not approved by October 1 of 
     each fiscal year, no funds should be appropriated or 
     otherwise be made available from the Treasury of the United 
     States for the pay of any Member of Congress during any 
     period after October 1 that a concurrent resolution on the 
     budget and all the regular appropriations bills are not 
     completed; and
       (3) no retroactive pay should be provided to any Member of 
     Congress for any period for which pay is not made available 
     as described in paragraph (2).
                                 ______
