       MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME EN BLOC--H.R. 1 and H.R. 1617

  Mr. SULLIVAN. Mr. President, I understand 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 titles of the bills 
for the first time.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 1) to expand Americans' access to the ballot 
     box, reduce the influence of big money in politics, and 
     strengthen ethics rules for public servants, and for other 
     purposes.
       A bill (H.R. 1617) to direct the Director of National 
     Intelligence to submit intelligence assessments of the 
     intentions of the political leadership of the Russian 
     Federation, and for other purposes.

  Mr. SULLIVAN. I now ask for their second reading, and in order to 
place the bills on the calendar, I object to my own request, all en 
bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection has been heard.
  The bills will be read for the second time on the next legislative 
day.
