              THE PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICING REDUCTION ACT

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, the virus pandemic underscores the 
very vital contribution pharmaceutical sciences make for our Nation's 
public health, our Nation's economic prosperity, and our way of life. 
It also confirms that we need a policy solution to treat soaring 
healthcare prices.
  The American people want the best medical cures at prices they can 
afford. The Prescription Drug Pricing Act is a winning solution. Let's 
get it to the President's desk without delay. It will help secure our 
American way of life in a post-pandemic world for generations to come.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
order for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
