                 MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 2722

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, it is my understanding that H.R. 2722, which 
was just received from the House, is at the desk. I now ask for its 
first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 2722) to implement effective measures to stop 
     trade in conflict diamonds, and for other purposes.

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I now ask for its second reading and object 
to my own request on behalf of a number of my colleagues.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bill will be 
read the second time on the next legislative day.
