                 MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 359

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I understand H.R. 359 has been received from 
the House. Is that true?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. That is correct.
  Mr. REID. I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill by title for 
the first time.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 359) to reduce Federal spending and the 
     deficit by terminating taxpayer financing of presidential 
     election campaigns and party conventions.

  Mr. REID. I ask for a second reading and object to my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bill will 
receive its second reading on the next legislative day.
