  Mr. SASSE. I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the 
immediate consideration of Calendar No. 604, S. 3152.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill by title.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 3152) to require the Federal Communications 
     Commission to incorporate data on maternal health outcomes 
     into its broadband health maps.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill, 
which had been reported from the Committee on Commerce, Science, and 
Transportation, with an amendment to strike all after the enacting 
clause and insert in lieu thereof the following:

                                S. 3152

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     available broadband health mapping tools of the Commission.
       (b) Consultation With CDC.--The Federal Communications
