                 MEASURE READ FOR THE FIRST TIME--S. 44

  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I understand that S. 44 is at the 
desk, and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill for the first 
time.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 44) to amend the Gun-Free Schools Act of 1994 to 
     require a local educational agency that receives funds under 
     the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to expel a 
     student determined to be in possession of an illegal drug, or 
     illegal drug paraphernalia, on school property, in addition 
     to expelling a student determined to be in possession of a 
     gun, and for other purposes.

  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I now ask for its second reading, and 
I object to my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard.
  The bill will be read the second time on the next legislative day.
