                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 3516

  Mr. TILLIS. 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. 3516) to authorize the Secretary of Veterans 
     Affairs to conduct a best-practices peer review of each 
     medical center of the Department of Veterans Affairs to 
     evaluate the efficacy of health care delivered at each such 
     medical center.

  Mr. TILLIS. I now 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 the second time on the next legislative day.

                          ____________________
