               MEASURE PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--H.R. 1256

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, it is my belief that H.R. 1256 is at the 
desk and due for a second reading.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report the bill by 
title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 1256) to protect the public health by 
     providing the Food and Drug Administration with certain 
     authority to regulate tobacco products, to amend title 5, 
     United States Code, to make certain modifications in the 
     Thrift Savings Plan, the Civil Service Retirement System, and 
     the Federal Employees' Retirement System, and for other 
     purposes.

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I object to any further proceedings on this 
matter at this time.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard. Without 
objection, the bill will be placed on the calendar.
