"Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is withdrawing a hold that prevented Congress’s bipartisan chemical safety overhaul bill from moving forward in the Senate.

Paul objected to the measure on May 26, preventing Senate leaders from scheduling a vote on it before the congressional recess, which angered many of his colleagues.

He said on the Senate floor that day that he had only received the 180-page bill two days prior, and needed time to read it. His action prevented the Senate from having unanimous consent to bypass the usual procedure and move to a vote."
