   MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 1050, S.J. RES. 13, S.J. RES. 14

  Mr. MANCHIN. Mr. President, I understand there are three measures at 
the desk. I ask for their first reading en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the measures by title 
for the first time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1050) to modify the Foreign Intelligence 
     Surveillance Act of 1978 and to require judicial review of 
     National Security Letters and Suspicious Activity Reports to 
     prevent unreasonable searches, and for other purposes.
       A joint resolution (S.J. Res. 13) declaring that a state of 
     war exists between the Government of Libya and the Government 
     and the people of the United States, and making provision to 
     prosecute the same.
       A joint resolution (S.J. Res. 14) declaring that the 
     President has exceeded his authority under the War Powers 
     Resolution as it pertains to the ongoing military engagement 
     in Libya.

  Mr. MANCHIN. Mr. President, I now ask for their second reading and 
object to my own request en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The measures will be read 
for the second time on the next legislative day.
