        MEASURES PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--H.R. 184 AND H.R. 1201

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I understand that there are two bills 
at the desk that are due for a second reading en bloc.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will read the bills by 
title for the second time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 184) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 
     1986 to repeal the excise tax on medical devices.
       A bill (H.R. 1201) to amend section 5000A of the Internal 
     Revenue Code of 1986 to provide an additional religious 
     exemption from the individual health coverage mandate, and 
     for other purposes.

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, in order to place the bills on the 
calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I object to further 
proceedings en bloc.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection having been heard, the 
bills will be placed on the calendar.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. CASEY. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. Hyde-Smith). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
