               MEASURE PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--H.R. 5638

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I understand there is a bill at the 
desk due for its second reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 5638) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 
     1986 to increase the unified credit against the estate tax to 
     an exclusion equivalent of $5,000,000 and to repeal the 
     sunset provision for the estate and generation-skipping 
     taxes, and for other purposes.

  Mr. McCONNELL. In order to place the bill on the calendar under the 
provisions of rule XIV, I would object to further proceeding.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard.
  The bill will be placed on the calendar.

                          ____________________
