                 MEASURE READ FOR THE FIRST TIME--S. 45

  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I understand that S. 45 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. 45) to prohibit the executive branch of the 
     Federal Government from establishing an additional class of 
     individuals that is protected against discrimination in 
     Federal employment, and for other purposes.

  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.
