                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 1761

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

       A bill (S. 1761) to clarify the liability of Government 
     contractors assisting in rescue, recovery, repair, and 
     reconstruction work in the Gulf Coast Region of the United 
     States affected by Hurricane Katrina or other major 
     disasters.

order to place the bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule
