                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 9

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I understand there is a bill at the desk, 
and I ask for its first reading.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report the bill by 
title for the first time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 9) to amend the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I now ask for a 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 ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard.
