                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 1889

  Mr. DOMENICI. Under rule 14, I understand that Senate bill 1889 
introduced earlier today by Senator Harkin is at the desk, and I ask 
for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill for the first 
time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1889) to reduce tobacco use by children and 
     others through an increase in the cost of tobacco products, 
     the imposition of advertising and marketing limitations, 
     assuring appropriate tobacco industry oversight, expanding 
     the availability of tobacco use cessation programs, and 
     implementing a strong public health prevention and education 
     strategy that involves the private sector, schools, States, 
     and local communities.

  Mr. DOMENICI. I now ask for its second reading and object to my own 
request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bill will remain at the desk and have its 
next reading on the next legislative day.
