                 MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 3971

  Mr. REID. I believe that H.R. 3971, which was recently received from 
the House, is at the desk. I now ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill by title for the 
first time.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 3971) to provide for independent investigation 
     of Forest Service firefighter deaths that are caused by 
     wildfire entrapment or burnover.

  Mr. REID. I now ask for its second reading but object to my own 
request on behalf of a number of my colleagues.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bill will remain at 
the desk.
