                 MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 436

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

       A bill (H.R. 436) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 
     1986 to repeal the excise tax on medical devices.

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. 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 having been heard, the bill will be 
read for the second time on the next legislative day.
