            MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 895 and S. 896

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I understand there are two bills at the 
desk, and I ask for their first reading, en bloc.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report the bills by 
title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 895) to prevent mortgage foreclosures and 
     enhance mortgage credit availability.
       A bill (S. 896) to prevent mortgage foreclosures and 
     enhance mortgage credit availability.

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I now ask for a second reading en bloc, and 
I object to my own request en bloc.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard. The bills will 
be read for the second time on the next legislative day.
