          FEDERAL EMPLOYEES HEALTH BENEFITS PROGRAM AMENDMENT

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
Governmental


Affairs Committee be discharged from further consideration of H.R. 
2842, and the Senate then proceed to its immediate consideration.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The clerk 
will report the bill by title.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 2842) to amend chapter 89 of title 5, United 
     States Code, concerning the Federal Employees Health Benefits 
     (FEHB) Program, to enable the Federal Government to enroll an 
     employee and his or her family in the FEHB Program when a 
     State court orders the employee to provide health insurance 
     coverage for a child of the employee but the employee fails 
     to provide the coverage.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill.
  Mr. LOTT. I ask unanimous consent that the bill be read a third time 
and passed, the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table, and that 
any statements relating to the bill be printed in the Record.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The bill (H.R. 2842) was read the third time and passed.
