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

  Mr. ALEXANDER. Mr. President, I understand that H.R. 8 is at the desk 
and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 8) to make the repeal of the estate tax 
     permanent.

  Mr. ALEXANDER. I now ask for its second reading and object to further 
proceeding on this matter.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard. The bill will remain 
at the desk.
