               MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S.J. RES. 13

  Mr. JEFFORDS. Mr. President, I understand that S.J. Res. 13, which 
was introduced earlier by Senator Abraham and others, is at the desk, 
and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the resolution for the 
first time.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

       A joint resolution (S.J. Res. 13) proposing an amendment to 
     the Constitution of the United States to protect Social 
     Security.

  Mr. JEFFORDS. 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.
