                      APPENDIX TO STANDING RULES OF THE SENATE

            ____________________________________________________________
                [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.
