  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I send a bill to the desk and ask it 
be placed on the calendar, and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will read the title of the bill.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1573)) to authorize the provision of educational 
     and health care assistance to women and children of 
     Afghanistan.

  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I ask for the second reading.
