                 MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 8987

  Mr. MERKLEY. Mr. President, I understand that there is a bill 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 legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 8987) to amend the Justice for United States 
     Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Act to authorize 
     appropriations for catch-up payments from the United States 
     Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund.

  Mr. MERKLEY. I now ask for a second reading, and in order to place 
the bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I object to 
my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bill will 
receive its second reading on the next legislative day.

                          ____________________
