  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I understand S. 700 is at the desk. I ask 
for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 700) to establish a Federal interagency task 
     force for the purpose of coordinating actions to prevent the 
     outbreak of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (commonly known

  Mr. STEVENS. I now ask for its second reading and object to my own 
request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the rule, the bill will receive its
