                           1684, AND S. 1688

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I understand there are five bills at the 
desk, and I ask for their first reading en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 1681) to provide for reimbursement of 
     communities for purchases of supplies distributed to Katrina 
     Survivors.
       A bill (S. 1682) to provide for reimbursement for business 
     revenue lost as a result of the facility being used as 
     emergency shelter for Katrina Survivors.
       A bill (S. 1683) to provide relief for students affected by 
     Hurricane Katrina.
       A bill (S. 1684) to clarify which expenses relating to 
     emergency shelters for Katrina Survivors are eligible for 
     Federal reimbursement.
       A bill (S. 1688) to provide for 100 percent Federal 
     financial assistance under the Medicaid and State children's 
     health insurance programs for States providing medical or 
     child health assistance to survivors of Hurricane Katrina, to 
     provide for an accommodation of the special needs of such 
     survivors under the Medicare program, and for other purposes.

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I now ask for a second reading and, in 
order to place the bills on the calendar under the provisions of rule 
XIV, I object to my own requests en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bills will have their 
second reading on the next legislative day.
