                MEASURE READ FOR THE FIRST TIME--S. 1788

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I understand that S. 1788, introduced 
today by Senator Faircloth, 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. 1788) to amend the National Labor Relations Act 
     and the Railway Labor Act to repeal those provisions of 
     Federal law that require employees to pay union dues or fees 
     as a condition of employment, and for other purposes.

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I now ask for its second reading, and 
since there is no Member of the minority party present, I object to my 
own request on behalf of the minority Members.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.

                          ____________________
