        MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 478, S. 482, H.R. 1105

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I have been led to believe there are three 
bills at the desk. If that is the case, 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 (S. 478) to amend the National Labor Relations Act 
     to ensure the right of employees to a secret-ballot election 
     conducted by the National Labor Relations Board.
       A bill (S. 482) to require Senate candidates to file 
     designations, statements, and reports in electronic form.
       A bill (H.R. 1105) making omnibus appropriations for the 
     fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, and for other 
     purposes.

  Mr. REID. I now ask for a second reading en bloc on these matters, 
but I also object at the same time to my own request, en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bills will 
receive their second reading on the next legislative day.
