                 MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 4181

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I understand that H.R. 4181 is at the desk, 
and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 4181) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 
     1986 to permanently extend the marriage penalty relief 
     provided under the Economic Growth and Tax Relief 
     Reconciliation Act of 2001.

  Mr. FRIST. I now ask for its second reading and, in order to place 
the bill on the calendar under rule XIV, object to further proceedings 
on this matter.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The measure will remain at 
the desk and receive its second reading on the next legislative day.

                          ____________________
