                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 209

  Mr. BLUMENTHAL. Mr. President, I understand that there is a bill 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 legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 209) to require a full audit of the Board of 
     Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal 
     Reserve banks by the Comptroller General of the United 
     States, and for other purposes.

  Mr. BLUMENTHAL. I now ask for a second reading, but in order to place 
the bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I 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.

                          ____________________
