                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 2318

  Mr. DURBIN. I understand there is a bill at the desk, and I ask for 
its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, the clerk will report the 
bill by title for the first time.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2318) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 
     to repeal the individual alternative minimum tax and to 
     permanently extend the reductions in income tax rates, and 
     for other purposes.

  Mr. DURBIN. Madam President, I now ask for a second reading, and in 
order to place the bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule 
XIV, I object to my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bill will be read for 
the second time on the next legislative day.

                          ____________________
