               MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S.J. RES. 21

  Mr. FRIST. Madam President, I understand that S.J. Res. 21, 
introduced by Senator Kyl earlier today, is at the desk, and I ask for 
its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the joint resolution for 
the first time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A joint resolution (S.J. Res. 21) expressing the sense of 
     Congress that the number of years during which the death tax 
     under subtitle B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is 
     repealed should be extended, pending the permanent repeal of 
     the death tax.

  Mr. FRIST. Madam President, I now ask for its second reading and 
object to my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bill will receive its 
second reading on the next legislative day.

                          ____________________
