                 MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 1797

  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. President, I understand that there is a bill at the 
desk. I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the title of the bill for 
the first time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 1797) to provide for equitable compensation to 
     the Spokane Tribe of Indians of the Spokane Reservation for 
     the use of tribal land for the production of hydropower by 
     the Grand Coulee Dam, and for other purposes.

  Mr. SESSIONS. I now ask for its second reading, and in order to place 
the bill on the calendar under rule XIV, I object to my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bill will 
receive its second reading on the next legislative day.

                          ____________________
