                PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICING REDUCTION ACT

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, it is no longer business as usual in 
America, so let's end business as usual in Washington.
  We are experiencing a deadly pandemic. The United States is firing on 
all cylinders to fight it and to find a vaccine, but it does us no good 
if Americans can't even afford the vaccine or related treatments. Even 
before the coronavirus outbreak reached our shores, President Trump 
called upon Congress to deliver a bill to his desk that lowered drug 
prices for Americans. He mentioned that in his State of the Union 
message. The Prescription Drug Pricing Reduction Act does just that. It 
is time for Congress to support the American people.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
