               MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.J. RES. 36

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, on behalf of the Republican leadership, I 
understand the House Joint Resolution 36 is at the desk, and I ask for 
its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the resolution by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (H.J. Res. 36) proposing an amendment to the 
     Constitution of the United States authorizing the Congress to 
     prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United 
     States.

  Mr. REID. I now ask for its second reading and I object to my own 
request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard.
  The joint resolution will receive a second reading on the next day.

                          ____________________
