Mr. President, I am told there are two bills at the desk. I ask for their first reading en bloc. The clerk will read the titles of the bills for the first time. The assistant legislative clerk read as follows: A bill (S. 1276) to repeal the authority to provide certain loans to the International Monetary Fund, the increase in the United States quota to the Fund, and certain other related authorities, to rescind related appropriated amounts, and for other purposes. A bill (H.R. 2021) to amend the Clear Air Act regarding air pollution from Outer Continental Shelf activities.
