  SA 222. Mr. PAUL submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
him to the bill S. 2226, to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 
2024 for military activities of the Department of Defense, for military 
construction, and for defense activities of the Department of Energy, 
to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for 
other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       At the appropriate place in title XII, insert the 
     following:

     SEC. __. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENT THAT 
                   CONGRESS DECLARE WAR BEFORE THE UNITED STATES 
                   ENGAGES IN WAR.

       It is the sense of Congress that Article 5 of the North 
     Atlantic Treaty does not supersede the constitutional 
     requirement that Congress declare war before the United 
     States engages in war.
                                 ______
