Ms. LUMMIS. 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 bills by title for the first time.
The senior assistant executive clerk read as follows:
A bill (S. 5438) to ratify and approve all authorizations,
permits, verifications, extensions, biological opinions,
incidental take statements, and any other approvals or orders
issued pursuant to Federal law necessary for the
establishment and administration of the Coastal Plain oil and
gas leasing program, and for other purposes.
A bill (H.R. 9576) to establish the National Fraud
Enforcement Division of the Department of Justice.
Ms. LUMMIS. 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 receive their second reading on the next legislative day.
