               MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S.J. RES. 26

  Ms. SNOWE. Mr. President, I understand that S.J. Res. 26, introduced 
earlier by Senator Smith of New Hampshire, is at the desk, and I ask 
that it be read the first time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A joint resolution (S.J. Res. 26) expressing the sense of 
     Congress with respect to the court-martial conviction of the 
     late Rear Admiral Charles Butler McVay, III, and calling upon 
     the President to award a Presidential Unit Citation to the 
     final crew of the U.S.S. Indianapolis.

  Ms. SNOWE. Mr. President, I now ask for its second reading and object 
to my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  The joint resolution will be read for the second time on the next 
legislative day.
