            MEASURES PLACED ON CALENDAR--S. 3098 and S. 3101

  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, I understand there are two bills at the 
desk due for a second reading.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will state the bills by 
title for the second time.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 3098) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 
     to extend certain expiring provisions, and for other 
     purposes.
       A bill (S. 3101) to amend Title 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. DURBIN. Mr. President, I 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.
