                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 1499

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I understand that S. 1499, introduced 
earlier today by Senator Kerry and others, is at the desk, and I ask 
for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1499) to provide assistance to small business 
     concerns adversely impacted by the terrorist attacks 
     perpetrated against the United States on September 11, 2001, 
     and for other purposes.

  Mr. REID. I now ask for its second reading and object to my own 
request on behalf of the other side.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bill will remain at the desk.

                          ____________________
