                 MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 310

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I understand there is a bill at the desk, 
and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the title of the bill.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 310) to increase the penalties for violations 
     by television and radio broadcasters of the prohibitions 
     against transmission of obscene, indecent, and profane 
     material, and for other purposes.

  Mr. FRIST. I now ask for a second reading and, in order to place the 
bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I object to my 
own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bill will receive a 
second reading on the next legislative day.

                          ____________________
