                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 964

  Mr. BOND. Mr. President, I understand S. 964, introduced earlier 
today by Senators Kennedy, Akaka, and others, is at the desk. I ask for 
its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 964) to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 
     1938 to provide for an increase in the Federal minimum wage.

  Mr. BOND. I now ask for its second reading and object to my own 
request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bill will be read for 
the second time on the next legislative day.
