Madam President, I understand there are two bills at the desk. I ask for their first reading en bloc. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the titles of the bills for the first time. The legislative clerk read as follows: A bill (S. 3772) to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to provide more effective remedies to victims of discrimination in the payment of wages on the basis of sex, and for other purposes. A bill (S. 3773) to permanently extend the 2001 and 2003 tax relief provisions and to provide permanent AMT relief and estate tax relief, and for other purposes.
