Mr. President, I understand there are three bills at the desk. I ask for their first reading en bloc. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, the clerk will report the bills by title. The bill clerk read as follows: A bill (S. 1549) to provide tax relief for American workers and businesses, to put workers back on the job while rebuilding and modernizing America, and to provide pathways back to work for Americans looking for jobs. A bill (H.R. 2832) to extend the Generalized System of Preferences, and for other purposes. A bill (H.R. 2887) to provide an extension of Surface and Air Transportation Programs, and for other purposes.
