                  MEASURE PLACED ON CALENDAR--S. 1572

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I am told that S. 1572 is due for a second 
reading and is now at the desk.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The majority leader is correct.
  The clerk will read the bill for the second time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1572) to provide for a point of order against 
     any legislation that eliminates or reduces the ability of 
     Americans to keep their health plan or their choice of doctor 
     or that decreases the number of Americans enrolled in private 
     health insurance, while increasing the number of Americans 
     enrolled in government-managed health care.

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I object to further proceedings with respect 
to this legislation.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard. The bill will 
be placed on the calendar.
