                MEASURE PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--H.R. 427

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

       A bill (H.R. 427) to amend chapter 8 of title 5, United 
     States Code, to provide that major rules of the executive 
     branch shall have no force or effect unless a joint 
     resolution of approval is enacted into law.

  Mr. McCONNELL. In order to place the bill on the calendar under the 
provisions of rule XIV, I object to further proceedings.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bill will be 
placed on the calendar.
