A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to extend the Indian employment credit and the depreciation rules for property used predominantly within an Indian reservation.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of S. 2216, a bill to extend the Indian Employment Credit Depreciation Rules for property within an Indian reservation, and that the bill be read a third time and passed. I further ask that the bill then be held at the desk until the House companion arrives and that all after the enacting clause be stricken, the text of the Senate-passed bill be inserted, and the House bill, as amended, be read a third time and passed.

Again, this is one of those I just referred to on the floor of this body.

No. Same problem.

Mr. President, I understand that there are two bills at the desk, and I ask for their first reading en bloc.

I now ask for a second reading, and in order to place the bills on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I object to my requests en bloc.

Reserving the right to object, once again, I would ask my friend from Oklahoma if he would amend his consent request along the lines I earlier suggested.

Objection.

Mr. President, there are two bills at the desk due for a second reading.

I object to any further proceedings with respect to these bills en bloc.
