          MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 986 AND H.R. 2157

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

       A bill (H.R. 986) to provide that certain guidance related 
     to waivers for State innovation under the Patient Protection 
     and Affordable Care Act shall have no force or effect.
       A bill (H.R. 2157) making supplemental appropriations for 
     the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and for other 
     purposes.

  Mr. McCONNELL. 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 bills will be 
read the second time on the next legislative day.
