                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 700

  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I understand S. 700 is at the desk. 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. 700) to establish a Federal interagency task 
     force for the purpose of coordinating actions to prevent the 
     outbreak of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (commonly known 
     as ``mad cow disease") and foot-and-mouth disease in the 
     United States.

  Mr. STEVENS. I now ask for its second reading and object to my own 
request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the rule, the bill will receive its 
second reading on the next legislative day.
  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, for those reading this, this is the
