                 MEASURE READ FOR THE FIRST TIME--S. 43

  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I understand that S. 43 is at the 
desk, and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill for the first 
time.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 43) to prohibit the provision of Federal funds 
     to any State or local educational agency that denies or 
     prevents participation in constitutional prayer in schools.

  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I now ask for its second reading, and 
I object to my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard.
  The bill will be read the second time on the next legislative day.
