                 MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 2175

  Mr. REID. Madam President, it is my understanding that H.R. 2175, 
which has been received from the House, is now at the desk. Therefore, 
I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the title of the bill for 
the first time.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 2175) to protect infants who are born alive.

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask for its second reading and object to 
my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bill will receive its 
second reading on the next legislative day.
