                 MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 1689

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I understand that there is a bill at the 
desk, and I ask for its first reading.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will read the bill by 
title for the first time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 1689) to require the Secretary of Homeland 
     Security to designate Haiti for temporary protected status.

  Mr. SCHUMER. 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 ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard.
  The bill will receive its second reading on the next legislative day.
  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
