                       MEASURE PLACED ON CALENDAR

  Mr. ALLARD. I understand there is a joint resolution at the desk due 
for its second reading.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will read the measure for the 
second time.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A joint resolution (S.J. Res. 26) expressing the sense of 
     the 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.

  Mr. ALLARD. I object to further proceedings on this matter at this 
time.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The measure will be placed on the 
calendar.
  Mr. ALLARD. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Allard). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
