  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I am told that S. 2223 is 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 (S. 2223) to provide for an increase in the Federal 
     minimum wage and to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 
     to extend increased expensing limitations and the treatment

  I ask for its second reading and object to my own request.

read for the second time on the next legislative day.
