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 legislative clerk read as follows: A bill (H.R. 2) to remove Federal Government obstacles to the production of more domestic energy; to ensure transport of that energy reliably to businesses, consumers, and other end users; to lower the cost of energy to consumers; to enable manufacturers and other businesses to access domestically produced energy affordably and reliably in order to create and sustain more secure and well-paying American jobs; and for other purposes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. I ask for a second reading in order to place the bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, but I object to my own request. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bill will be read for the second time on the next legislative day. ____________________
