         MEASURES PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--S. 2451 AND H.R. 1479

  Mr. FRIST. I understand there are two bills at the desk due for a 
second reading, and I ask unanimous consent that the bills be given a 
second reading en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The clerk 
will read the bills by title for the second time.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2451) to amend the Agricultural Marketing Act of 
     1946 to restore the application date for country of origin 
     labeling.
       A bill (H.R. 1479) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 
     1986 to provide for the disposition of unused health benefits 
     in cafeteria plans and flexible spending arrangements, 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, 
     and to amend title I of the Employee Retirement Income 
     Security Act of 1974 to improve access and choice for 
     entrepreneurs with small businesses with respect to medical 
     care for their employees.

  Mr. FRIST. I object to further proceedings on the measures en bloc at 
this time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bills will be placed 
on the calendar.
