                MEASURE PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--S. 2652

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

       A bill (S. 2652) to amend title XVIII of the Social 
     Security Act to deliver a meaningful benefit and lower 
     prescription drug prices under the Medicare program.

  Mr. FRIST. I object to further proceedings on the measure at this 
time in order to place the bill on the calendar under the provisions of 
rule XIV.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bill will be placed on 
the calendar.
