           MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 3813 and S. 3815

  Mr. KAUFMAN. Mr. President, I understand that there are two bills at 
the desk and I ask for their first reading en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bills by title.
  The assistant editor of the Daily Digest read as follows:

       A bill (S. 3813) to amend the Public Utility Regulatory 
     Policies Act of 1978 to establish a Federal renewable 
     electricity standard, and for other purposes.
       A bill (S. 3815) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 
     to reduce oil consumption and improve energy security, and 
     for other purposes.

  Mr. KAUFMAN. I now ask for a second reading en bloc and I object to 
my own request en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the resolutions 
will be read on the next legislative day.
  Mr. KAUFMAN. I yield the floor and suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant editor of the Daily Digest proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. FRANKEN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
