                 MEASURE PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--S. 981

  Mr. SESSIONS. I understand there is a bill at the desk that is due 
for a second reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the title of the bill for 
the second time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 981) to ensure that a Federal employee who takes 
     leave without pay in order to perform service as a member of 
     the uniformed services or member of the National Guard shall 
     continue to receive pay in an amount which, when taken 
     together with the pay and allowances such individual is 
     receiving for such service, will be no less than the basic 
     pay such individual would then be receiving if no 
     interruption in employment had occurred.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. There being no objection to further 
proceeding, the bill will be referred to the appropriate committee.

                          ____________________
