              UDALL FOUNDATION REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2023

  Mr. KELLY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the immediate consideration of S. 1311, a bill to 
reauthorize the Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Trust Fund, which 
was introduced earlier today.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill by title.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1311) to reauthorize the Morris K. Udall and 
     Stewart L. Udall Trust Fund, and for other purposes.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill.
  Mr. KELLY. I further ask that the bill be considered read three times 
and passed and that the motion to reconsider be considered made and 
laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The bill (S. 1311) was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading, 
was read the third time, and passed as follows:

                                S. 1311

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

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Udall Foundation 
     Reauthorization Act of 2023''.

     SEC. 2. REAUTHORIZATION OF THE UDALL FOUNDATION TRUST FUND.

       Section 13 of the Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall 
     Foundation Act (20 U.S.C. 5609) is amended--
       (1) in subsection (a), by striking ``2023'' and inserting 
     ``2028'';
       (2) in subsection (b), in the matter preceding paragraph 
     (1), by striking ``2023'' and inserting ``2028''; and
       (3) in subsection (c), by striking ``5-fiscal year period'' 
     and all that follows through the period at the end and 
     inserting ``5-fiscal year period beginning with fiscal year 
     2024.''.

  Mr. KELLY. Mr. President, this legislation would reauthorize a 
Federal foundation, the Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation 
Act, which was established to honor the legacy of two great Arizonans: 
Morris and Stewart Udall.
  The Udall Foundation honors the legacy of the Udalls by awarding 
scholarships, fellowships, and internships for study related to the 
environment and for American Indians and Alaska Natives to study 
healthcare and Tribal public policy. The foundation also supports the 
Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy and the Native Nations 
Institute to conduct research on environmental policy, American Indian 
and Alaska Native healthcare issues, Tribal policy, and training.
  My predecessor, Senator John McCain, was a longtime supporter of

the foundation and its work, and the foundation has honored Senate 
McCain's legacy through the John S. McCain III National Center for 
Environmental Conflict Resolution.
  This legislation does not increase authorization levels for the 
foundation. It simply extends current levels through the end of fiscal 
year 2028 to allow the foundation to continue its important work.
  I yield the floor.
