                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 2137

  Mr. McCONNELL. I understand S. 2137, introduced earlier today by 
Senator Dorgan, is at the desk, and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill for the first 
time.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2137) to authorize the Secretary of Health and 
     Human Services to promulgate regulations for the 
     reimportation of prescription drugs, and for other purposes.

  Mr. McCONNELL. I ask its second reading and I object to my own 
request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard.
  The bill will be read the second time on the next legislative day.
