          MEASURES PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--S. 2704 AND S. 2714

  Mr. FRIST. I understand there are two bills at the desk which are due 
for a second reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bills for a second 
time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2704) to amend title XIX and XXI of the Social 
     Security Act to provide States with the option to cover 
     certain legal immigrants under the Medicaid and State 
     children's health insurance programs.
       A bill (S. 2714) to amend part D of title XVIII of the 
     Social Security Act, as added by the Medicare Prescription 
     Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, to provide 
     for negotiation of fair prices for Medicare prescription 
     drugs.

  Mr. FRIST. I object to further proceedings on the measures en bloc at 
this time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bills will be placed on the calendar.
