              PELL GRANT HURRICANE AND DISASTER RELIEF ACT

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the immediate consideration of H.R. 3169, which was received 
from the House.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 3169) to provide the Secretary of Education 
     with waiver authority for students who are eligible for Pell 
     Grants who are adversely affected by a natural disaster.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, 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. 3169) was read the third time and passed.
  Mr. FRIST. Again, Mr. President, this is one of several bills we are 
addressing tonight that reflect the Senate's response to those who have 
been adversely affected by this disaster. The bill we passed was 
specifically related to Pell grants, giving the Secretary of Education 
the waiver authority for students who are eligible for Pell grants, 
those students who have been adversely affected.
