REF: law(s) re congressional salaries

[Joyce Conklin <jconkli@SMCOE.K12.CA.US>]

In the back of my overloaded memory, I thought that if Congress voted
themselves a salary increase, that it could not take effect until AFTER
the next general election. (Rationale -- if the public didn't like the
pay raise they could vote out the person who voted for it -- doesn't do a
lot about not having the pay raise take effect, tho!)

Now for my question: I can't find anything that confirms my memory --
I've tried Google and Infind search engines using ["congressional
salaries" + law] -- also looked at LOC using the same search terms. Even
called the congressman's office and they didn't know (ooops!)

So... is there a different place I should look? Are there different
search terms I should use?
