         MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 1, S. 2, S. 5, S. 113

  Mr. REID. Madam President, it is my understanding there are four 
bills at the desk. I ask for their first reading, en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the four bills, en bloc, 
for the first time.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1) to provide greater transparency in the 
     legislative process.
       A bill (S. 2) to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 
     to provide for an increase in Federal minimum wage.
       A bill (S. 5) to amend the Public Health Service Act to 
     provide for human embryonic stem cell research.
       A bill (S. 113) to make appropriations for military 
     construction and family housing projects for the Department 
     of Defense for fiscal year 2007.

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask for a second reading in order to 
place the bills on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, and 
having done that, I object to my own requests en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard.
  The bills will receive their second reading on the next legislative 
day.
