          MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 582 AND H.R. 748

  Mr. McCONNELL. I understand there are two bills at the desk, and I 
ask for their first reading en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the titles of the bills 
for the first time.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 582) to provide for increases in the Federal 
     minimum wage, and for other purposes.
       A bill (H.R. 748) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 
     1986 to repeal the excise tax on high cost employer-sponsored 
     health coverage.

  Mr. McCONNELL. I now ask for a second reading, and I object to my own 
request, all en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  The bills will receive their second reading on the next legislative 
day.
