                 MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 7259

  Mr. McCONNELL. 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 title of the bill for 
the first time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 7259) to allow acceleration certificates 
     awarded under the Patents for Humanity Program to be 
     transferable.

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, 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 
receive a second reading on the next legislative day.
