                   HEALTH CARE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT

  Mr. FORD. Madam President, I understand that S. 2129, Health Care 
Privacy Protection Act, introduced earlier today by Senator Leahy and 
others, is at the desk.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct.
  Mr. FORD. I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2129) to amend Title 18 of the United States 
     Code to preserve personal privacy with respect to medical 
     records and health-care-related information, and for other 
     purposes.

  Mr. FORD. Madam President, I now ask for its second reading, and on 
behalf of the Republicans, I object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  The bill will receive its second reading on the next legislative day.
