          MEASURES PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--S. 3296 AND S. 3297

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I understand there are two bills at the 
desk due for a second reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bills by title for the 
second time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 3296) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 
     to provide an exemption to the individual mandate to maintain 
     health coverage for individuals residing in counties with 
     fewer than 2 health insurance issuers offering plans on an 
     Exchange.
       A bill (S. 3297) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 
     to provide an exemption to the individual mandate to maintain 
     health coverage for certain individuals whose premium has 
     increased by more than 10 percent, and for other purposes.

  Mr. McCONNELL. In order to place the bills on the calendar under the 
provisions of rule XIV, I object to further proceedings en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bills will be 
placed on the calendar.
