                MEASURE PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--S. 4447

  Ms. ERNST. Madam President, I understand there is a bill at the desk 
that is due for a second reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct.
  The clerk will read the bill by title for the second time.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 4447) to allow women greater access to safe and 
     effective oral contraceptive drugs intended for routine use, 
     and to direct the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     conduct a study on Federal funding of contraceptive methods.

  Ms. ERNST. In order to place the bill on the calendar under the 
provisions of rule XIV, I would object to further proceeding.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bill will be 
placed on the calendar.
  The junior Senator from Iowa.
