                  MEASURE PLACED ON CALENDAR--S. 1530

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I understand there are two bills due for a 
second reading. I ask that the title of the first bill be read.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1530) to resolve ongoing tobacco litigation, to 
     reform the civil justice system responsible for adjudicating 
     tort claims against companies that manufacture tobacco 
     products, and establish a national tobacco policy for the 
     United States that will decrease youth tobacco use and reduce 
     the marketing of tobacco products to young Americans.

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I object to further consideration of this 
matter at this time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bill will be placed on the calendar.
