 MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 2062, S. 2066, S. 2067, and H.R. 3865

  Mr. REID. Madam President, there are four bills at the desk and I ask 
for their first reading en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bills by title for the 
first time.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2062) to authorize Members of Congress to bring 
     an action for declaratory and injunctive relief in response 
     to a written statement by the President or any other official 
     in the executive branch directing officials of the executive 
     branch to not enforce a provision of law.
       A bill (S. 2066) to amend title 18, United States Code, to 
     prohibit the intentional discrimination of a person or 
     organization by an employee of the Internal Revenue Service.
       A bill (S. 2067) to prohibit the Department of the Treasury 
     from assigning tax statuses to organizations based on their 
     political beliefs and activities.
       An act (H.R. 3865) to prohibit the Internal Revenue Service 
     from modifying the standard for determining whether an 
     organization is operated exclusively for the promotion of 
     social welfare for purposes of section 501(c)(4) of the 
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I now ask for a second reading en bloc on 
each of these four measures, but I object to my own request en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bills will be 
read for the second time on the next legislative day.
