                   MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 2

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I understand that S. 2, the 21st Century 
Medicare Act, is at the desk. I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill by title.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2) to amend title XVIII of the Social Security 
     Act to provide for a medicare voluntary prescription drug 
     delivery program under the medicare program, to modernize the 
     medicare program, and for other purposes.

  Mr. REID. I ask for its second reading and then would object to my 
own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection having been heard, the bill will 
receive its second reading on the next legislative day.

                          ____________________
