               MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S.J. RES. 29

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I understand that there is a joint 
resolution at the desk, and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the joint resolution by 
title for the first time.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A joint resolution (S.J. Res. 29) to authorize the use of 
     United States Armed Forces against the Islamic State of Iraq 
     and the Levant and its associated forces.

  Mr. McCONNELL. I now ask for a second reading and, in order to place 
the joint resolution on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, 
I object to my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the joint 
resolution will be read for the second time on the next legislative 
day.
