                    Military Justice Improvement Act

  Mr. GRASSLEY. According to the Pentagon's estimation, a young woman 
in the military has a one-in-eight chance of being sexually assaulted. 
Unfortunately, many cases are never prosecuted.
  This is completely unacceptable. We must do more to prevent assaults 
and ensure that survivors get justice. The men and women who have 
volunteered to place their lives on the line deserve better.
  The Military Justice Improvement Act would help ensure impartial 
justice and send the message that sexual assault in the military will 
not be tolerated.
  I yield the floor.
  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. McCONNELL. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
order for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
