         MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 1569 AND H.J. RES. 77

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I understand there are two measures at the 
desk, and I ask for their first reading en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the measures by title for 
the first time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1569) to ensure the complete and timely payment 
     of the obligations of the United States Government until 
     December 31, 2014.
       A joint resolution (H.J. Res. 77) making continuing 
     appropriations for the Food and Drug Administration for 
     fiscal year 2014, and for other purposes.

  Mr. REID. I now ask for a second reading en bloc and ask that my 
objection appear in the Record on both measures.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The measures will be read 
for the second time on the next legislative day.

                          ____________________
