                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 2416

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Madam President, I understand there is a bill at the 
desk, and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Ms. Cantwell). The clerk will report the bill 
by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2416) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 
     to repeal the alternative minimum tax on individuals and 
     replace it with an alternative tax individuals may choose.

  Mr. MENENDEZ. 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.
