                MEASURE PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--S. 1611

  Mr. GORTON. Mr. President, I understand there is a bill at the desk 
that is due for its second reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Inhofe). The clerk will read the bill for 
the second time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1611) to amend the Public Health Service Act to 
     prohibit any attempt to clone a human being using somatic 
     cell nuclear transfer and to prohibit the use of Federal 
     funds for such purposes, to provide for further review of the 
     ethical and scientific issues associated with the use of 
     somatic cell nuclear transfer in human beings, and for other 
     purposes.

  Mr. GORTON. I object to further proceedings on this matter at this 
time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bill will be 
placed on the Calendar of General Orders.

                          ____________________
