                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 2161

  Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, I understand that S. 2161, introduced 
today by Senator Simon, is at the desk. I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2161) reauthorizing programs of the Federal 
     Aviation Administration, and for other purposes.

  Mr. McCAIN. I now ask for the 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. McCAIN. Mr. President, I know the hour is late. I certainly 
respect Senator Simon's views on this issue, and I know that Senator 
Simon feels very strongly. I also know that Senator Simon is committed 
to the entirety of the bill. However, on both sides of the aisle, there 
are objections to S. 2161 introduced by Senator Simon.
