  MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 870, S. 871, S. 872, S. 873, S. 874

  Mr. FRIST. I understand there are five bills at the desk and I ask 
for their first reading en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bills by title.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 870) to prohibit energy market manipulation.
       A bill (S. 871) to amend title 10, United States Code, to 
     ensure that the strength of the Armed Forces and the 
     protections and benefits for members of the Armed Forces and 
     their families are adequate for keeping the commitment of the 
     people of the United States to support their servicemembers, 
     and for other purposes.
       A bill (S. 872) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 
     to provide for the taxation of income of controlled foreign 
     corporations attributable to imported property.
       A bill (S. 873) to amend title XVIII of the Social Security 
     Act to deliver a meaningful benefit and lower prescription 
     drug prices under the medicare program.
       A bill (S. 874) to establish a national health program 
     administered by the Office of Personnel Management to offer 
     health benefits plans to individuals who are not Federal 
     employees, and for other purposes.

  Mr. FRIST. 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 requests, all en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bills will be 
read the second time on the next legislative day.
