           MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 2578 AND S. 2579

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I am told that there are two 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 en bloc.
  The assistant bill clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2578) to ensure that employers cannot interfere 
     in their employees' birth control and other health care 
     decisions.
       A bill (S. 2579) to require the Secretary of State to offer 
     rewards totaling up to $5,000,000 for information on the 
     kidnapping and murder of Naftali Fraenkel, a dual United 
     States-Israeli citizen, that began on June 12, 2014.

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I now ask for a second reading on these two 
bills but object to my own request en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  The bills will be read for the second time on the next legislative 
day.
  Mr. REID. I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
