         MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 3495 and H.R. 3685

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

       A bill (H.R. 3495) to establish a National Commission on 
     Children and Disasters, and for other purposes.
       A bill (H.R. 3685) to prohibit employment discrimination on 
     the basis of sexual orientation.

  Mr. DURBIN. I now ask for their second reading en bloc, and I object 
to my own request en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
