                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 1751

  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I understand that S. 1751 introduced by 
Senator Grassley yesterday is at the desk and I ask for its first 
reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill by title for 
the first time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1751) to amend the procedures that apply to 
     consideration of interstate class actions to assure fairer 
     outcomes for class members and defendants, and for other 
     purposes.

  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I now ask for its second reading and I 
object to my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bill will receive its second reading on 
the next legislative day.

                          ____________________
