  Mr. REID. Madam President, I understand that H.R. 980 has been 
received from the House and is at the desk. I ask for its first 
reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill by title for 
the first time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 980) to provide collective bargaining rights 
     for public safety officers employed by States or their
