                 MEASURE READ FOR THE FIRST TIME--S. 41

  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I understand that S. 41 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 bill clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 41) to make it a violation of a right secured by 
     the Constitution and laws of the United States to perform an 
     abortion with the knowledge that the abortion is being 
     performed solely because of the fetus.

  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I now ask for its second reading, and 
I object to my own request.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard.
  The bill will be read the second time on the next legislative day.
