                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 2053

  Mr. BOND. Mr. President, I understand that S. 2053 introduced today 
by Senator Grassley is at the desk and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2053) to strengthen narcotics control reporting 
     requirements and to require the imposition of certain 
     sanctions on countries that fail to take effective action 
     against the production of and trafficking in illicit 
     narcotics and psychotropic drugs and other controlled 
     substances, and for other purposes.

  Mr. BOND. Mr. 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, and the bill will be read 
on the next legislative day.

                          ____________________
