Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that notwithstanding the order that no business be conducted during today's pro forma session, it be in order to receive H.R. 5085 from the House; that the Senate proceed to its immediate consideration; that the bill be considered read a third time and passed; and that the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table, all without intervening action or debate. The VICE PRESIDENT. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. The bill (H.R. 5085), to amend section 1113 of the Social Security Act to provide authority for increased payments for temporary assistance to United States citizens returned from foreign countries, and for other purposes, was ordered to a third reading, was read the third time, and passed. ____________________
