                       PRESIDENTIAL COIN PROGRAM

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to have printed 
in the Record my letter dated October 17, 2011, to the minority leader 
regarding S. 1385.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:


                                                  U.S. Senate,

                                 Washington, DC, October 17, 2011.
     Hon. Mitch McConnell,
     Minority Leader, U.S. Senate,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Leader McConnell: I respectfully request that the 
     Senate not enter into any unanimous consent agreement 
     pertaining to S. 1385, a bill to terminate the $1 
     presidential coin program. I have concerns about the impact 
     of this bill, including whether taxpayers will benefit from 
     ending the $1 presidential coin program.
       Thank you.
           Sincerely,
                                              Charles E. Grassley,
     United States Senator.
