                      MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME

  Mr. BROWN. I understand that S. 1312, introduced earlier today by 
Senator DeMint and others, is at the desk, and I ask for its first 
reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill by title for the 
first time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1312) to amend the National Labor Relations Act 
     to ensure the right of employees to a secret-ballot election 
     conducted by the National Labor Relations Board.

  Mr. BROWN. I now ask for its second reading and object to my own 
request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
