     MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME EN BLOC--H.R. 2930 AND H.R. 2940

  Mr. MERKLEY. I understand there are two bills at the desk, and I ask 
for their first reading en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bills will be read for the first time by 
title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 2930) to amend the securities laws to provide 
     for registration exemptions for certain crowdfunded 
     securities, and for other purposes.
       A bill (H.R. 2940) to direct the Securities and Exchange 
     Commission to eliminate the prohibition against general 
     solicitation as a requirement for a certain exemption under 
     Regulation D.

  Mr. MERKLEY. I ask for a second reading en bloc, and I object to my 
own request en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, there will be a 
second reading on the next legislative day.

                          ____________________
