I am told there are two bills at the desk due for a second reading. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator is correct. The clerk will report the bills by title for the second time. The legislative clerk read as follows: A bill (S. 3457) to require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish a veterans job corps, and for other purposes. A bill (H.R. 4078) to provide that no agency may take any significant regulatory action until the unemployment rate is equal to or less than 6.0 percent.

I didn't make it in life because of my athletic prowess. I didn't make it because of my good looks. I didn't make it because I'm a genius. I made it because I worked hard.
