         MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 2419 AND H.R. 3221

  Mr. WHITEHOUSE. 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 report the bills by title.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 2419) to provide for the continuation of 
     agricultural programs through fiscal year 2012, and for other 
     purposes.
       A bill (H.R. 3221) moving the United States towards greater 
     energy independence and security, developing innovative new 
     technologies, reducing carbon emissions, creating green jobs, 
     protecting consumers, increasing clean renewable energy 
     production, and modernizing our energy infrastructure, and to 
     amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide tax 
     incentives for the production of renewable energy and energy 
     conservation.

  Mr. WHITEHOUSE. Mr. President, I now ask for a second reading en 
bloc, and I object to my own request en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  The bills will receive their second reading on the next legislative 
day.
