                 MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 2709

  Mr. LOTT. I understand H.R. 2709 has arrived from the House, and I 
ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows.

       A bill (H.R. 2709) to impose certain sanctions on foreign 
     persons who transfer items contributing to Iran's efforts to 
     acquire, develop, or produce ballistic missiles, and to 
     implement the obligations of the United States under the 
     Chemical Weapons Convention.

  Mr. LOTT. I would now ask for its second reading, and I object to my 
own request on behalf of the other side of the aisle.
