  Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, before we proceed to the Wellstone 
amendment, I understand there is a bill at the desk due for its second 
reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 4680) to amend title XVIII of the Social

  Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, on behalf of the majority leader, I 
object to further proceedings on that bill at this time.
