     SEC. ___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION DERIVING SAVINGS 
                   FROM MEASURES THAT WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE 
                   ABILITY OF THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE TO 
                   SERVE RURAL RESIDENTS OR SENIORS.

       (a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the Senate 
     to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, 
     amendment between the Houses, or conference report that would 
     derive savings from measures that will negatively impact the 
     ability of the United States Postal Service to serve rural 
     residents or seniors, such as by eliminating the universal 
     service obligation of the Postal Service or privatizing the 
     Postal Service.
       (b) Waiver and Appeal.--Subsection (a) may be waived or 
     suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote of three-
     fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative 
     vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly 
     chosen and sworn, shall be required to sustain an appeal of 
     the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under 
     subsection (a).
                                 ______
