                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 1441

  Mr. NICKLES. Madam President, I understand that S. 1441, introduced 
today by Senator Helms, is at the desk, and I ask for its first 
reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill for the first 
time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1441) to authorize appropriations for the 
     Department of State for fiscal years 1996 through 1999 and to 
     abolish the United States Information Agency, the United 
     States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, and the Agency 
     for International Development, and for other purposes.

  Mr. NICKLES. Madam President, I now ask for its second reading, and I 
object to my own request on behalf of Senators on the Democratic side 
of the aisle.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bill will be read for 
the second time on the next legislative day.
