                 MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 1997

  Mr. NICKLES. Madam President, I understand that H.R. 1997, the House 
Unborn Victims of Violence Act, is at the desk, and I ask for its first 
reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 1997) to amend title 18, United States Code, 
     and the Uniform Code of Military Justice to protect unborn 
     children from assault and murder, and for other purposes.

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

                          ____________________
