    MEASURES PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--H.R. 4954, H.R. 4635, H.R. 5017

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, it is my understanding there are three bills 
at the desk that have been read for the first time. They are H.R. 4954, 
H.R. 4635, and H.R. 5017.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator is correct.
  Mr. REID. I ask unanimous consent that it be in order, en bloc, for 
these bills to receive a second reading, but I object to any further 
proceedings at this time.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?
  Without objection, the clerk will read the titles of the bills.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 4954) to amend Title XVIII of the Social 
     Security Act to provide for a voluntary program for 
     prescription drug coverage under the Medicare Program, to 
     modernize and reform payments and the regulatory structure of 
     the Medicare Program, and for other purposes.
       A bill (H.R. 4635) to amend title 49, United States Code, 
     to establish a program for Federal flight deck officers, and 
     for other purposes.
       A bill (H.R. 5017) to amend the Temporary Emergency 
     Wildlife Suppression Act to facilitate the ability of the 
     Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture to 
     enter into reciprocal agreements with foreign countries for 
     the sharing of personnel to fight fires.

  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection to further proceedings 
having been heard, the bills will be placed on the calendar.
