                 MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 7024

  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. Mr. President, I understand that 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 senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 7024) to make improvements to the child tax 
     credit, to provide tax incentives to promote economic growth, 
     to provide special rules for the taxation of certain 
     residents of Taiwan with income from sources within the 
     United States, to provide tax relief with respect to certain 
     Federal disasters, to make improvements to the low-income 
     housing tax credit, and for other purposes.

  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. 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.
