         MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 1881 AND H.J. RES. 61

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I understand that there is a bill and a 
joint resolution at the desk, and I ask for their first reading en 
bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the measures by title for 
the first time en bloc.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1881) to prohibit Federal funding of Planned 
     Parenthood Federation of America.
       A joint resolution (H.J. Res. 61) amending the Internal 
     Revenue Code of 1986 to exempt employees with health coverage 
     under TRICARE or the Veterans Administration from being taken 
     into account for purposes of determining the employers to 
     which the employer mandate applies under the Patient 
     Protection and Affordable Care Act.

  Mr. McCONNELL. I now ask for a second reading, and I object to my own 
request, all en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the measures will 
be read for the second time on the next legislative day.
