                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 2173

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I understand there is a bill at the desk, 
and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill by title for the 
first time.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2173) to preserve and protect the free choice of 
     individual employees to form, join, or assist labor 
     organizations, or to refrain from such activities.

  Mr. REID. I ask for a second reading in order to place the bill on 
the calendar under rule XIV but object to my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bill will 
receive a second reading on the next legislative day.
