                ____________________________________________________________
                    [Note.--S. Res. 445, 108-2, a resolution to eliminate
                certain restrictions on service of a Senator on the Senate
                Select Committee on Intelligence, passed the Senate Oct. 9,
                2004. The resolution made several changes to the
                jurisdiction, treatment and name of Senate Committees.
                However, the provisions of S. Res. 445 did not modify the
                Standing Rules of the Senate and therefore could not be
                included in this document except as an appendix. The
                effective date for the provisions of the resolution was the
                convening of the 109th Congress. Titles I, III and V of S.
                Res. 445 are printed in this appendix.
                    S. Res. 28, 112-1, a resolution to establish as a
                standing order of the Senate that a Senator publicly
                disclose a notice of intent to objecting to any measure or
                matter, passed the Senate Jan. 27, 2011. S. Res. 29, 112-1,
                a resolution to permit the waiving of the reading of an
                amendment if the text and adequate notice are provided,
                passed the Senate Jan. 27, 2011. S. Res. 15, 113-1, a
                resolution to improve procedures for the consideration of
                legislation and nominations in the Senate, passed the Senate
                Jan. 24, 2013. These resolutions made changes to Senate
                procedure but did not modify the Standing Rules of the
                Senate and therefore could not be included in this document
                except as an appendix. S. Res. 28, S. Res 29 and S. Res. 15
                are printed in this appendix.

                            (1), if adopted, shall be considered original
                            text for purpose of further amendment.
                                (6) No points of order shall be waived by

                            that ruling, but instead shall remain pending
                            and shall require 60 votes in the affirmative to
                            be agreed to.
