                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 2

  Mr. REID. 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. 2) to remove Federal Government obstacles to 
     the production of more domestic energy; to ensure transport 
     of that energy reliably to businesses, consumers, and other 
     end users; to lower the cost of energy to consumers; to 
     enable manufacturers and other businesses to access 
     domestically produced energy affordably and reliably in order 
     to create and sustain more secure and well-paying American 
     jobs; and for other purposes.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. I ask for a second reading in order to place 
the bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, but 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.
