  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I understand there are eight bills at the 
desk. I ask for their first reading, en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the titles of the bills 
for the first time, en bloc.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

     denies women information and referrals concerning their 
     reproductive health options.

     services that help reduce unintended pregnancy, reduce the 
     number of abortions, and improve access to women's health 
     care.
       A bill (S. 845) to amend title 10, United States Code, to 
     permit retired servicemembers who have a service-connected 
     disability to receive disability compensation and either 
     retired pay or Combat-Related Special Compensation and to 
     eliminate the phase-in period with respect to such concurrent 
     receipt.
       A bill (S. 846) to provide fair wages for America's 
     workers.
       A bill (S. 847) to lower the burden of gasoline prices on 
     the economy of the United States and circumvent the efforts 
     of OPEC to reap windfall oil profits.
       A bill (S. 848) to improve education, and for other 
     purposes.

  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I now ask for a second reading and, in 
order to place the bills on the calendar under the provisions of rule 
XIV, I object to my own request, en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bills will 
receive their second reading on the next legislative day.
