    MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME EN BLOC--S. 289, S. 290, AND S. 291

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I am told there are three bills at the desk 
due for their first reading.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report the bills en 
bloc.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 289) to extend expiring provisions of the USA 
     PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005, the 
     Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, and 
     the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 until December 31, 2013, and 
     for other purposes.
       A bill (S. 290) to extend the sunset of certain provisions 
     of the USA PATRIOT Act, and for other purposes.
       A bill (S. 291) to repeal the sunset provisions in the USA 
     PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 and other 
     related provisions and permanently reauthorize the USA 
     PATRIOT Act.

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