                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 940

  Mr. BENNET. Mr. President, I understand that S. 940, introduced 
earlier today by Senator Menendez, is at the desk, and I ask for its 
first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill by title.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 940) to reduce the Federal budget deficit by 
     closing big oil tax loopholes, and for other purposes.

  Mr. BENNET. Mr. President, I ask for its second reading and 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.
