Mr. WYDEN. Mr. President, when the Senate considers the reconciliation bill, S. 2, it is my intention to make the following motions to the bill:
A motion to commit the bill S. 2 to the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate with instructions to report the same back to the Senate in 3 days, not counting any day on which the Senate is not in session, with changes that--
(1) are within the jurisdiction of such committee; and
(2) would require--
(A) the Department of Justice to evaluate confidential drug pricing agreements entered into by any Federal department, agency, or office with any pharmaceutical manufacturer; and
(B) that the provision of law commonly referred to as the ``Freedom of Information Act'' be amended in a manner that would require the public release of all such agreements, while protecting proprietary pricing information.
