                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 1770

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Acting in my individual capacity as a Senator 
from Kansas, I understand that S. 1770, which was introduced by Senator 
Lott and others, is at the desk. I ask for its first reading.
  The clerk will read the bill by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1770) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 
     to permanently extend the research and development credit and 
     to extend certain other expiring provisions for 30 months, 
     and for other purposes.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. I now ask for its second reading and object to 
my own request.
  Objection is heard.
