                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 2

  Mr. WHITEHOUSE. Mr. President, I understand that H.R. 2 is at the 
desk, and I ask for its first reading.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report the bill by 
title.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 2) to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 
     1938 to provide for an increase in the Federal minimum wage.

  Mr. WHITEHOUSE. I now ask for a second reading, and I object to my 
own request.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The objection is heard.
  The bill will be read the second time on the next legislative day.

                          ____________________
