                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 2578

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I understand that S. 2578, introduced 
earlier today by Senator Daschle, is at the desk. I ask for its first 
reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the title of the bill for 
the first time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2578) to amend title 31 of the United States 
     Code to increase the public debt limit.

  Mr. REID. I now ask for its second reading and object to my own 
request on behalf of the Republicans.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bill will 
receive its second reading on the next legislative day.
