                 MEASURE READ FOR FIRST TIME--H.R. 927

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I inquire of the chair if H.R. 927 has 
arrived from the House of Representatives.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. It has arrived.
  Mr. DOLE. Therefore, I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 927) to seek international sanctions against 
     the Castro government in Cuba, to plan for support of a 
     transition government leading to a democratically elected 
     government in Cuba, and for other purposes.

  Mr. DOLE. I now ask for its second reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, as a pro forma matter, I voice an 
objection at this time since there is no other Senator on the floor to 
raise that objection. I do so pro forma to protect the record, not 
because I would not like personally to see us proceed.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  Mr. DOLE. I thank my colleague from Pennsylvania. Senator Daschle 
would have objected and appreciates you doing that for him.
  Mr. DOLE. As I understand, the bill remains at the desk?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bill will be read a second time on the 
next legislative day.
  Mr. SPECTER addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Pennsylvania.
