         MEASURES PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--H.R. 1586 and S. 651

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, it is my understanding that two bills are at 
the desk and due for a second reading.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will read the titles of 
the bills for the second time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 1586) to impose an additional tax on bonuses 
     received from certain TARP recipients.
       A bill (S. 651) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 
     to impose an excise tax on excessive bonuses paid by, and 
     received from, companies receiving emergency economic 
     assistance, to limit the amount of nonqualified deferred 
     compensation that employees of such companies may defer from 
     taxation, and for other purposes.

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I object to any further proceedings with 
respect to these bills en bloc.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard.
  The bills will be placed on the calendar.
