        MEASURES PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--S. 1, S. 21, AND S. 24

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I understand there are three bills at 
the desk due for a second reading en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bills by title for 
the second time.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1) to make improvements to certain defense and 
     security assistance provisions and to authorize the 
     appropriation of funds to Israel, to reauthorize the United 
     States-Jordan Defense Cooperation Act of 2015, and to halt 
     the wholesale slaughter of the Syrian people, and for other 
     purposes.
       A bill (S. 21) making continuing appropriations for Coast 
     Guard pay in the event an appropriations act expires prior to 
     the enactment of a new appropriations act.
       A bill (S. 24) to provide for the compensation of Federal 
     and other government employees affected by lapses in 
     appropriations.

  Mr. McCONNELL. In order to place the bills on the calendar under the 
provisions of rule XIV, I object to further proceedings en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bills will be 
placed on the calendar.
