         MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 1271 AND H.R. 1381

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I understand there are two bills at the 
desk, and I ask for their first reading en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the titles of the bills 
for the first time en bloc.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 1271) to establish in the Department of 
     Veterans Affairs a pilot program instituting a clinical 
     observation program for pre-med students preparing to attend 
     medical school.
       A bill (H.R. 1381) to direct the Secretary of Veterans 
     Affairs to take actions necessary to ensure that certain 
     individuals may update the burn pit registry with a 
     registered individual's cause of death, and for other 
     purposes

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I now ask for a second reading, and I 
object to my own request, all en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bills will 
receive their second reading on the next legislative day.
