                   QUALITY CARE FOR LIFE ACT OF 1994

  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, I understand that S. 2205, the Quality Care 
for Life Act of 1994, introduced earlier today by Senator Hatch, is at 
the desk.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct.
  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill for the first 
time.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2205) to amend the Social Security Act and the 
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide improved access to 
     quality long-term care services, to obtain cost savings 
     through provider incentives and removal of regulatory and 
     legislative barriers, to encourage greater private sector 
     participation and personal responsibility in financing such 
     services, and for other purposes.

  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, I now ask for its second reading and, Mr. 
President, on behalf of the Republican leader, I object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bill will then be read 
on the next legislative day.
  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
