      MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 2264 AND H.R. 2295 EN BLOC

  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, I understand that two bills are at the 
desk. I ask for their first reading en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The clerk 
will report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2264) a bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code 
     of 1986 to extend for two years the tax-free distributions 
     from individual retirement plans for charitable purposes.
       A resolution (H.R. 2295) to amend the Public Health Service 
     Act to provide for the establishment of an Amyotrophic 
     Lateral Sclerosis Registry.

  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, 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 en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bills will be read for 
the second time on the next legislative day.
