          MEASURES PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--S. 1786 and S. 1789

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I understand there are two bills--S. 1786 
and S. 1789--at the desk, having been read the first time. Is that 
true?
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. That is correct.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that it be in order, 
en bloc, for these two bills to receive a second reading, but I would 
then object to any further consideration on the legislation.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection to the request that the 
two bills be considered en bloc?
  Hearing no objection, it is so ordered.
  The two bills are considered, en bloc.
  Is there objection to the second reading of the two bills, en bloc?
  Hearing no objection, the two bills are read, en bloc.
  The majority whip has objected to further reading of the bills. They 
will, consequently, be placed on the general orders calendar on the 
next legislative day.
