  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I understand there is a bill at the 
desk that is due for its second reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill for a second time 
by title.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2823) to provide for the adjustment of status of 
     certain foreign agricultural workers, to amend the 
     Immigration and Nationality Act to reform the H-2A worker 
     program under that Act, to provide a stable, legal 
     agricultural workforce, to extend basic legal protections and 
     better working conditions to more workers, and for other 
     purposes.

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I object to further proceedings on the 
measure at this time in order to place the bill on the calendar under 
the provisions of rule XIV.
