                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 1875

  Mr. KYL. Mr. President, I understand that S. 1875, which was 
introduced earlier today, is at the desk, and 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 (S. 1875) to amend the Employee Retirement Income 
     Security Act of 1974, the Public Health Service Act, and the 
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to extend the mental health 
     benefits parity provisions for an additional year.

  Mr. KYL. Mr. President, I now ask for its second reading and object 
to further proceedings on the matter.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bill will receive its 
second reading on the next legislative day.
