         MEASURES PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--S. 3186 AND H.R. 6331

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, it is my understanding there are two bills 
now at the desk due for a second reading.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report the bills by 
title for the second time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 3186) to provide funding for the Low-Income Home 
     Energy Assistance Program.
       A bill (H.R. 6331) to amend titles XVIII and XIX of the 
     Social Security Act to extend expiring provisions under the 
     Medicare Program, to improve beneficiary access to preventive 
     and mental health services, to enhance low-income benefit 
     programs, and to maintain access to care in rural areas, 
     including pharmacy access, and for other purposes.

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I would object to any further proceedings 
with respect to these bills en bloc.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard. The bills will 
be placed on the calendar.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
