              POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER AWARENESS DAY

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, on one final matter, Saturday, June 27, 
is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Awareness Day.
  Sadly, post-traumatic stress disorder is an affliction that touches 
too many of our veterans. Raising awareness of PTSD and combatting the 
myths and misinformation that surround it are incredibly important. 
There are effective treatments for PTSD, and all of us can do a few 
simple things in honor of PTSD Awareness Day.
  First, we can learn more about PTSD by getting the facts on the 
condition and its treatment. We can also reach out to somebody who 
might have PTSD or be at risk, particularly among the veterans 
community. And, finally, we can pass along what we learned to others to 
continue to raise awareness.
  So I hope Americans will take action on this PTSD Awareness Day to 
shed some light on an often misunderstood condition and hopefully to 
reach out to someone in need.
  Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Tillis). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  The Senator from Arizona.
