                 MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 4040

  Mr. REID. There is a bill at the desk due for its first reading. It 
is the consumer product commission.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 4040) to establish consumer product safety 
     standards and other safety requirements for children's 
     products and to reauthorize and modernize the Consumer 
     Product Safety Commission.

  Mr. REID. I now ask for its 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 ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard.
  The bill will receive its second reading on the next legislative day.
  Mr. REID. I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
