               MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S.J. RES. 45

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, S.J. Res. 45 was introduced earlier today by 
Senators Daschle and Lott and is now at the desk. I therefore ask for 
its first reading.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report the joint 
resolution by title for the first time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A joint resolution (S.J. Res. 45) to authorize the use of 
     United States Armed Forces against Iraq.

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I now ask for its second reading but object 
to my own request on behalf of the minority.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection having been heard, the 
joint resolution will receive its second reading on the next 
legislative day.
