                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 607

  Mr. SANTORUM. Mr. President, I understand that S. 607 introduced 
earlier today by Senators Ensign and Gregg, and others, is at the desk, 
and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill by title for the 
first time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 607) to improve patient access to health care 
     services and provide improved medical care by reducing the 
     excessive burden the liability system places on the health 
     care delivery system.

  Mr. SANTORUM. Mr. President, I ask for its second reading and object 
to the second reading on this matter.
