                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, today, the Senate will resume consideration 
of S. 1541, the farm bill. Under the previous order, all Senators 
should be aware that there will be two cloture votes today beginning at 
1:30 p.m. Additional rollcall votes can be expected in order to 
complete action on the farm bill today.
  Also as a reminder, Senators have until 12 noon today to file first-
degree amendments to the pending substitute and until 1 p.m. to file 
second-degree amendments.
  Today, there will be a joint meeting of Congress at 11:45 a.m. to 
hear an address by the President of France, President Chirac. Members 
should be in the Chamber at 11:25 in order to proceed to the House of 
Representatives for the address.
  Mr. President, I would like to also this morning make some brief 
remarks with regard to the need for truth in packaging on welfare 
reform. I observe the Senator from Indiana, the chairman of the 
Agriculture Committee is here. There may be a need for the others that 
are involved in the agriculture bill to come to the floor. So, if the 
Senator will indulge me just a couple minutes, I would like to talk 
with regard to what is happening with welfare reform.
