                    MEASURES PLACED ON THE CALENDAR

  Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, I understand that there are two bills at 
the desk due for their second reading.
  I ask that they be read consecutively.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bills by title.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1770) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 
     to permanently extend the research and development credit and 
     to extend certain other expiring provisions for 30 months, 
     and for other purposes.
       A bill (S. 1771) to provide stability in the United States 
     agriculture sector and to promote adequate availability of 
     food and medicine for humanitarian assistance abroad by 
     requiring congressional approval before the imposition of any 
     unilateral agricultural or medical sanction against a foreign 
     country or foreign entity.

  Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, on behalf of the leader, I object to 
further proceeding on the bills at this time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the rule, the bills will be placed on 
the calendar.
