                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 8

  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I understand that H.R. 8, 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 report the bill by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 8) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 
     to phaseout the estate and gift taxes over a 10-year period, 
     and for other purposes.

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