                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 2070

  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, I understand there is a bill 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 assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2070) to prevent Government shutdowns.

  Mr. DURBIN. 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 PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bill will be read for 
its second time on the next legislative day.
