                MEASURE PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--S. 4461

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I understand there is a bill at the 
desk due for a second reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the title of the bill for 
the second time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 4461) to provide for a period of continuing 
     appropriations in the event of a lapse in appropriations 
     under the normal appropriations process, and establish 
     procedures and consequences in the event of a failure to 
     enact appropriations.

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