               MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S.J. RES. 43

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I am led to believe that the Republican 
leader introduced S.J. Res. 43, and it is now at the desk. If that is 
the case, I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A joint resolution (S.J. Res. 43) proposing an amendment to 
     the Constitution of the United States to guarantee the right 
     to use and recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and 
     the national motto.

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I now ask for its second reading, but would 
object to my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
