                MEASURE READ FOR THE FIRST TIME--S. 2118

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I understand there is a bill at the desk due 
for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill by title for the 
first time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2118) to remove unelected, unaccountable 
     bureaucrats from seniors' personal health decisions by 
     repealing the Independent Payment Advisory Board.

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I now ask for a second reading and, in order 
to place the bill on the calendar, object to my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bill will be read for 
the second time on the next legislative day.

                          ____________________
