         MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 8, S. 3522, S. 3525

  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, I understand there are three bills at the 
desk. I ask for their first reading en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bills by title for the 
first time.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 8) to extend certain tax relief provisions 
     enacted in 2001 and 2003, and to provide for expedited 
     consideration of a bill providing for comprehensive tax 
     reform, and for other purposes.
       A bill (S. 3522) to provide for the expansion of affordable 
     refinancing of mortgages held by the Federal National 
     Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage 
     Corporation.
       A bill (S. 3525) to protect and enhance opportunities for 
     recreational hunting, fishing, and shooting, and for other 
     purposes.

  Mr. DURBIN. I now ask for a second reading en block and I object to 
my own request en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bills will be read for 
the second time on the next legislative day.
