               MEASURE PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--H.R. 4040

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I have a matter at the desk that is due for 
its second reading, H.R. 4040.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report the bill by 
title.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 4040) to establish consumer product safety 
     standards and other safety requirements for children's 
     products and to reauthorize and modernize the Consumer 
     Product Safety Commission.

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I object to any further proceedings on this 
legislation at this time but alert everyone we are going to try to get 
to this legislation before this work period ends. We do have a few 
things to do. It seems the best laid plans sometimes have to be delayed 
because now we have the stimulus package we have to worry about 
completing. But this is something I want to do. Senator Pryor and 
others have worked very hard. So we are going to move forward as 
quickly as we can.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard.
  The bill will be placed on the calendar.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
