                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 2538

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, S. 2538, introduced today by Senators 
Kennedy and others, is at the desk. I ask for its first reading.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2538) to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 
     1938 to provide for an increase in the Federal minimum wage.

  Mr. REID. I ask for its second reading but object to my own request 
on behalf of the Republican side.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bill will remain at 
the desk.
