                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 3299

  Mr. SCHUMER. Madam President, I understand that there is a bill at 
the desk, and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill by title for the 
first time.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 3299) to prohibit the Department of Defense from 
     discharging or withholding pay or benefits from members of 
     the National Guard based on COVID-19 vaccination status.

  Mr. SCHUMER. Madam President, I now ask for a second reading, and in 
order to place the bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule 
XIV, I object to my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bill will 
receive its second reading on the next legislative day.
