         MEASURES PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--H.R. 4 AND H.R. 5970

  Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, I understand there are two bills at the 
desk due for a second reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bills by title for 
the second time.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 4) to provide economic security for all 
     Americans, and for other purposes.
       A bill (H.R. 5970) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 
     1986 to increase the unified credit against the estate tax to 
     an exclusion equivalent of $5,000,000, to repeal the sunset 
     provision for the estate and generation-skipping taxes, and 
     to extend expiring provisions, and for other purposes.

  Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, in order to place the bills on the 
calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I object to further 
proceedings en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  Without objection, the bills will be placed on the calendar.
