                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 2122

  Mr. CASEY. Mr. President, I understand 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 legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2122) to amend XVIII and XIX of the Social 
     Security Act to repeal the Medicare sustainable growth rate 
     and to improve Medicare and Medicaid payments, and for other 
     purposes.

  Mr. CASEY. I ask for a second reading and 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 having been heard, the bill will be 
read for a second time on the next legislative day.
  Mr. CASEY. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
