           MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 1084 AND S. 1085

  Mr. ALLEN. Mr. President, I understand there are two bills at the 
desk. I ask for their first reading en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, the clerk will report the 
bills by title.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1084) to eliminate child poverty, and for other 
     purposes.
       A bill (S. 1085) to provide for paid sick leave to ensure 
     that Americans can address their own health needs and the 
     health needs of their families.

  Mr. ALLEN. I now ask for a second reading, and in order to place the 
bills on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I object to my 
own request, all en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bills will have their 
second reading on the next legislative day.
