                MEASURE READ FOR THE FIRST TIME--S. 950

  Mr. ROTH. Mr. President, I understand that S. 950, introduced today 
by Senator McConnell, is at the desk. I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill for the first 
time.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 950) to provide for equal protection of the law 
     and to prohibit discrimination and preferential treatment on 
     the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in Federal 
     actions, and for other purposes.

  Mr. ROTH. 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. The bill will be read for a second time on the 
next legislative day.
