                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 1960

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I understand there is a bill at the desk. I 
ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1960) to protect the health and safety of all 
     athletes, to promote the integrity of professional sports by 
     establishing minimum standards for the testing of steroids 
     and other performance-enhancing substances and methods by 
     professional sports leagues, and for other purposes.

  Mr. FRIST. I ask for its second reading and, in order to place the 
bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I object to my 
own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  The bill will be read a second time on the next legislative day.
