                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 641

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, it is my understanding there is a bill at 
the desk, and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the title of the bill for 
the first time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 641) to express the sense of Congress that no 
     funds should be cut off or reduced for American troops in the 
     field which would result in undermining their safety or their 
     ability to complete their assigned missions.

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I now ask for a second reading and, in order 
to place this bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, 
object to my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bill will receive its 
second reading on the next legislative day.

                          ____________________
