  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I understand there is a bill at the desk, 
and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill for the first 
time.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 2810) to amend title XVIII of the Social 
     Security Act to eliminate months in 2006 from the calculation 
     of any late enrollment penalty under the Medicare part D 
     prescription drug program and to provide for additional 
     funding for State health insurance counseling programs and 
     area agencies on aging, and for other purposes.

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent for its second
