                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 729

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I understand that S. 729, introduced 
earlier today by Senator Schumer, is at the desk, and I ask for its 
first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill by title for the 
first time.
  The senior assistant bill clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 729) to prohibit the use of funds to Federal 
     agencies to establish a panel, task force, advisory 
     committee, or other effort to challenge the scientific 
     consensus on climate change, and for other purposes.

  Mr. McCONNELL. I now 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.

                          ____________________
