         MEASURES PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--H.R. 2728 AND S. 2448

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I understand there are two bills at the 
desk due for their second reading. I ask unanimous consent that the 
bills be given their second reading, en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, the clerk will read the 
titles of the bills for the second time, en bloc.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 2728) to amend the Occupational Safety and 
     Health Act of 1970 to provide for adjudicative flexibility 
     with regard to an employer filing of a notice of contest 
     following the issuance of a citation by the Occupational 
     Safety and Health Administration; to provide for greater 
     efficiency at the Occupational Safety and Health Review 
     Commission; to provide for an independent review of citations 
     issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration; 
     to provide for the award of attorney's fees and costs to very 
     small employers when they prevail in litigation prompted by 
     the issuance of citations by the Occupational Safety and 
     Health Administration; and to amend the Paperwork Reduction 
     Act and titles 5 and 31, United States Code, to reform 
     Federal paperwork and regulatory processes.
       A bill (S. 2448) to coordinate rights under the Uniformed 
     Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 with 
     other Federal laws.

  Mr. FRIST. I object to further proceedings on the measures, en bloc, 
at this time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the rule, the bills are placed on the 
calendar.
