  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I understand that S. 1954, introduced today 
by Senator Hatch, is at the desk. I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1954) to establish a uniform and more efficient 
     Federal process for protecting property owners' rights 
     guaranteed by the fifth amendment.

  Mr. LOTT. I now ask for a 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.
  Mr. BRADLEY. I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
