                  UNANIMOUS-CONSENT AGREEMENT--S. 1541

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I have a unanimous-consent agreement now 
that has been reviewed and agreed to by the distinguished minority 
leader. I will proceed with their concurrence.
  I ask unanimous consent that it be in order for the majority leader, 
or his designee, during the session of the Senate on Wednesday, January 
31, to turn to the consideration of calendar No. 330, S. 1541, the farm 
bill, and once a cloture motion has been filed on the bill on 
Wednesday, that the cloture vote occur on Thursday, February 1, 
notwithstanding the provisions of rule XXII, at a time to be determined 
by the majority leader, after consultation with the Democratic leader, 
and that the mandatory quorum under rule XXII be waived.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. I further ask unanimous consent that, during the session of 
the Senate on Wednesday, January 31, it be in order for Senator Dorgan 
to offer an amendment to S. 1541, and once that amendment has been 
offered and a cloture motion has been filed, the cloture vote also 
occur on Thursday, February 1, at a time to be determined by the 
majority leader, after consultation with the Democratic leader, 
notwithstanding rule XXII, and that the mandatory quorum under rule 
XXII be waived.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. I further ask that if Senator Leahy or designee offers an 
amendment following the offering of the Dorgan amendment to S. 1541 and 
cloture is filed on that amendment, the same terms as provided above 
apply, with that cloture vote occurring in sequence following the 
cloture vote on S. 1541.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. Finally, I ask unanimous consent that during the pendency 
of S. 1541, the farm bill, it be in order for the majority leader, 
after concurrence with the Democratic leader, to modify the text of S. 
1541.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
