           MEASURES PLACED ON CALENDAR--S. 1232 and H.R. 2751

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I understand there are two bills at the 
desk due for a second reading.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The majority leader is correct.
  The clerk will read the titles of the bills for a second time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1232) to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and 
     Cosmetic Act with respect to the importation of prescription 
     drugs, and for other purposes.
       A bill (H.R. 2751) to accelerate motor fuel savings 
     nationwide and provide incentives to registered owners of 
     high polluting automobiles to replace such automobiles with 
     new fuel efficient and less polluting automobiles.

  Mr. REID. Madam President, one is the drug reimportation legislation 
that has been around for a number of years. We are trying to move 
forward on that legislation. Senators Dorgan, McCain, Snowe, and a 
number of people are very interested in that legislation. We are going 
to try to work it out and have this on the Senate floor on the earliest 
possible date. The other one is the so-called cash for clunkers bill.
  I object to any further proceedings with respect to these bills en 
bloc.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard. The bills will 
be placed on the calendar.
