                MEASURE READ FOR THE FIRST TIME--S. 1824

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I understand that there is a bill at the 
desk, and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill by title for the 
first time.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1824) to amend the Safe Drinking Water Act to 
     exempt certain lead pipes, fittings, fixtures, solder, and 
     flux that contain brass.

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask for a second reading, and in order 
to place the bill on the calendar under rule XIV, I object to my own 
request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bill will be 
read for the second time on the next legislative day.
  Mr. REID. I note the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
