at noon the senate will begin consideration of h.j. res. 106, which is the short-term continuing resolution. at 12:15 there will be a roll call vote on the joint resolution. and just before coming here, i was told the vote in the house will be between 3 comploo 3:00 0 this afternoon. we expect to begin consideration on the omnibus bill when it is received from the house, as i've indicated, later today. mr. president, there are two bills at the desk due for second readings. the presiding officer: the clerk will read the titles of the bill for the second time. cleric s. 1917, a bill provide for additional enhancements of the sexual assault. s. 1926, a bill to delay the implementation of certain provisions of the billingert-waters flood insurance reform act of 2012 and to reform the national association of registered agents and brokers and for other purposes. mr. reid: mr. president, i would object to further proceeding to either one of these matters at this time. the presiding officer: the objection is heard. the bills will be placed on the
