        MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 63

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I send a joint resolution to the desk, which 
is a continuing resolution containing appropriations for Defense, 
Foreign Operations, Treasury-Postal, Labor-HHS, Interior and Commerce, 
State, Justice.
  I ask its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill for the first 
time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A joint resolution (S.J. Res. 63) making continuing 
     appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1997, 
     and for other purposes.

  Mr. LOTT. I now ask for the second reading of the joint resolution 
and, on behalf of my Democratic colleagues, I object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I believe the resolution will be set aside 
and read a second time on the next legislative day, is that correct?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct.
