  Mr. REID. Mr. President, S. 1751 is at the desk. It is my 
understanding it is due for a second reading.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will read the bill for 
the second time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1751) to prohibit the Federal Government from 
     awarding contracts, grants, or other agreements to, providing 
     any other Federal funds to, or engaging in activities that 
     promote the Association of Community Organizations for Reform 
     Now or any other entity which has been indicted for or 
     convicted of violations of laws governing election 
     administration or campaign financing.

  Mr. REID. I object to any further proceedings with respect to the 
bill at this time.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection having been 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 legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. McCONNELL. 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for the quorum call be rescinded.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.
