                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 1726

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, before the Chair rules on my consent 
request, I am told we missed one bill due for its first reading. I ask 
the clerk to report that bill.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill by title.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1726) to repeal the imposition of withholding on 
     certain payments made to vendors by government entities.

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask for a second reading and, in order to 
place the bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, object 
to my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  The bill will be read for the second time on the next legislative 
day.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I made a request, and it is my understanding 
the Chair has approved that. Is that true?
