                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 1805

  Mr. McCONNELL. I understand S. 1805, which was introduced earlier 
today, is at the desk. I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1805) to prohibit civil liability actions from 
     being brought or continued against manufacturers, 
     distributors, dealers, or importers of firearms or ammunition 
     for damages resulting from the misuse of their products by 
     others.

  Mr. McCONNELL. I now ask for its second reading and object to further 
proceedings on the matter.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bill will be read the 
second time on the next legislative day.

                          ____________________
