                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 1751

  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, I understand that there is a bill at the 
desk, and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the title of the bill.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1751) to prohibit the Federal Government from 
     awarding contracts, grants, or other agreements to, providing 
     any other Federal funds to, or engaging in activities that 
     promote the Association of Community Organizations for Reform 
     Now or any other entity which has been indicted for or 
     convicted of violations of laws governing election 
     administration or campaign financing.

  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, I now ask for a second reading and, in 
order to place the bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule 
XIV, I object to my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, it is my understanding the bill will be 
read for the second time on the next legislative day.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct.
