                 MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 218

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I understand that H.R. 218 is at the desk, 
and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 218) to amend title 18 United States Code, to 
     exempt qualified current and former law enforcement officers 
     from State laws prohibiting the carrying of concealed 
     handguns.

  Mr. FRIST. I now ask for its second reading in order to place the 
bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV and object to 
further proceedings on this matter.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  The bill will be read a second time on the next legislative day.

                          ____________________
