         MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 5447 AND H.R. 5456

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I understand there are two bills at the 
desk, and I ask for their first reading en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bills by title for the 
first time.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 5447) to provide an exception from certain 
     group health plan requirements for qualified small employer 
     health reimbursement arrangements.
       A bill (H.R. 5456) to amend parts B and E of title IV of 
     the Social Security Act to invest in funding prevention and 
     family services to help keep children safe and supported at 
     home, to ensure that children in foster care are placed in 
     the least restrictive, most family-like, and appropriate 
     settings, and for other purposes.

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I now ask for a second reading, and I 
object to my own request, all en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the titles of the 
bills will be read for the second time on the next legislative day.
