                   MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 11

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I understand there is a bill at the 
desk, and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will read the bill by title for 
the first time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 11) to provide for an exception to a limitation 
     against appointment of persons as Secretary of Defense within 
     seven years of relief from active duty as a regular 
     commissioned officer of the Armed Forces.

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that in order 
to place the bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I 
object to my own request.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection has been heard.
  The bill will be read for the second time on the next legislative 
day.
  Mr. McCONNELL. I would just state to everyone that we are about to go 
out of session so there will be plenty of time for congratulations.
