         MEASURES PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--S. 1963 AND H.R. 3617

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I understand there are two bills at the 
desk due for a second reading.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report the bills by 
title for a second time.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1963) to amend title 38, United States Code, to 
     provide assistance to caregivers of veterans, to improve the 
     provision of health care veterans, and for other purposes.
       A bill (H.R. 3617) to provide an extension of Federal-aid 
     highway, highway safety, motor carrier safety, transit, and 
     other programs funded out of the Highway Trust Fund pending 
     enactment of a multiyear law reauthorizing such programs.

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I object to any further proceedings with 
respect to these matters en bloc.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard.
  The bills will be placed on the calendar.
