                      MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I understand there are two bills at the 
desk, and I ask for their first reading en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the titles of the bills 
for the first time, en bloc.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 4472) to protect children, to secure the 
     safety of judges, prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and 
     their family members, to reduce and prevent gang violence, 
     and for other purposes.
       A bill (H.R. 4911) to temporarily extend the programs under 
     the Higher Education Act of 1965, and for other purposes.

  Mr. FRIST. I ask for a second reading, and in order to place the 
bills on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I object to my 
own request, all en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bills will 
receive their second reading on the next legislative day.
  Mr. FRIST. I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the order for the 
quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
