                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 1572

  Mr. BROWN. Mr. President, I understand that S. 1572, introduced 
earlier today by Senator DeMint, is at the desk, and 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 (S. 1572) to provide for a point of order against 
     any legislation that eliminates or reduces the ability of 
     Americans to keep their health plan or their choice of doctor 
     or that decreases the number of Americans enrolled in private 
     health insurance, while increasing the number of Americans 
     enrolled in government-managed health care.

  Mr. BROWN. Mr. President, I now ask for its second reading and object 
to my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bill will 
receive its second reading on the next legislative day.

                          ____________________
