        MEASURES PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--H.R. 2316 and H.R. 2317

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, it is my understanding that there are two 
bills at the desk and they are both due for a second reading.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report the bills by 
title for the second time.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 2316) to provide for more rigorous 
     requirements with respect to disclosure and enforcement of 
     lobbying laws and regulations, and for other purposes.
       A bill (H.R. 2317) to amend the Lobbying and Disclosure Act 
     of 1995 to require registered lobbyists to file quarterly 
     reports on contributions bundled for certain recipients, and 
     for other purposes.

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, in order to place these bills on the 
calendar under the provisions of standing rule XIV, I object to further 
proceedings.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard. The bills will 
be placed on the calendar under rule XIV.
  Mr. REID. I note that these are the two bills the House has 
considered dealing with ethics reform. I have had a number of meetings 
with my distinguished Republican colleague, and we are in the process 
of figuring out a way we can get to conference with the House on these 
important issues.
