                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 953

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I understand that S. 953, introduced earlier 
today by Senator McConnell, 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 assistant bill clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 953) to authorize the conduct of certain lease 
     sales in the Outer Continental Shelf, to amend the Outer 
     Continental Shelf Lands Act to modify the requirements for 
     exploration, and for other purposes.

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

                          ____________________
