                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 1490

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I send a bill to the desk and ask for 
its first reading.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will read the bill by 
title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1490) to eliminate price support programs for 
     tobacco and provide assistance to quota holders and tobacco 
     producers and tobacco-dependent communities, and for other 
     purposes.

  Mr. McCONNELL. I now ask for its second reading and object to further 
proceedings on the matter.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard. The bill will 
receive its second reading on the next legislative day.

                          ____________________
