                 MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 2873

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I understand that H.R. 2873, which was 
just received from the House, is at the desk, and I now ask for its 
first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill for the first 
time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 2873) to extend and amend the program entitled 
     Promoting Safe and Stable Families under title IV-B, subpart 
     2 of the Social Security Act, and to provide new authority to 
     support programs for mentoring children of incarcerated 
     parents; to amend the Foster Care Independent Living Program 
     under title IV-E of that Act to provide for educational and 
     training vouchers for youths aging out of foster care, and 
     for other purposes.

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I now ask for its second reading and 
object to my own request on behalf of my colleagues.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bill will remain at 
the desk.
