                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 224

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I understand that S. 224, introduced 
earlier today, is at the desk, and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill for the first 
time.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 224) to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 
     1938 to provide for an increase in the Federal minimum wage.

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