  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I understand that the following bills are 
at the desk, having been read the first time: H.R. 3210 and S. 1748.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The majority leader is correct.
  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that it be in 
order en bloc for these two bills to receive a second reading. I would 
then object to any further consideration.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will read the title of 
the bills for a second time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 3210) to ensure the continued financial 
     capacity of insurers to provide coverage for risks from 
     terrorism.
       A bill (S. 1748) to promote the stabilization of the 
     economy by encouraging financial institutions to continue to 
     support economic development, including development in urban 
     areas, through the provision of affordable insurance coverage 
     against acts of terrorism, and for other purposes.

  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection having been heard, both 
bills will be placed on the calendar.
  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
