                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 225

  Mr. DASCHLE. I understand S. 225, introduced earlier today, is at the 
desk, and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill for the first 
time.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 225) to provide for emergency unemployment 
     compensation.

  Mr. DASCHLE. I now ask for its second reading, and I object to my 
request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard.
  The bill will receive its second reading on the next legislative day.
  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, we will have more to say about these 
matters tomorrow. As my colleagues know, this is an ongoing interest on 
the part of our caucus to move forward in providing benefits to those 
who are uninsured, especially those who are no longer eligible for 
current benefits. There are about a million of those people who are 
looking to us for help, and we will have more to say about that 
tomorrow.
