        MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 37

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I understand that Senate Joint Resolution 
37, which was introduced earlier today by Senator Jeffords, is at the 
desk, and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Frist). The clerk will read the joint 
resolution for the first time by title.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows.

       A joint resolution (S.J. Res. 37) to provide for the 
     extension of a temporary prohibition of strikes or lockout 
     and to provide for binding arbitration with respect to the 
     labor dispute between Amtrak and certain of its employees.

  Mr. LOTT. I now ask for its second reading and would object to my own 
request on behalf of the other side of the aisle.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.

                          ____________________
