                 MEASURE PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--S. 989

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I understand there is a bill at the 
desk that is due for a second reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill by title.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 989) 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.

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, in order to place the bill on the 
calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I object to further 
proceeding.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  The bill will be placed on the calendar.
