               MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.J. RES. 20

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I understand that H.J. Res. 20 has been 
received from the House and is now at the desk, and I ask for its first 
reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the joint resolution by 
title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A joint resolution (H.J. Res. 20) making further continuing 
     appropriations for the fiscal year 2007, and for other 
     purposes.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to proceeding to the 
measure?
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, this is the continuing resolution, which is 
so important to continuing the functions of this Government, but I am 
objecting to my own request for its second reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  The bill will receive its second reading on the next legislative day.
