  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I understand there are three bills at the 
desk due for a second reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bills for the second 
time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 4096) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 
     1986 to extend to 2006 the alternative minimum tax relief 
     available in 2005 and to index such relief for inflation.
       A bill (H.R. 4388) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 
     1986 to extend certain expiring provisions, and for other 
     purposes.

  Mr. FRIST. In order to place the bills on the calendar under the 
provisions of rule XIV, I object to further proceedings en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bills will be placed 
on the calendar.
