I understand that there are two bills at the desk due for a second reading. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will read the bills by title for the second time. The assistant legislative clerk read as follows: A bill (S. 2609) to restore States' sovereign rights to enforce State and local sales and use tax laws, and for other purposes. A bill (H.R. 5021) to provide an extension of Federal-aid highway, highway safety, motor carrier safety, transit, and other programs funded out of the Highway Trust Fund, and for other purposes.
