      ORDERS FOR MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5 AND TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1996

  Mrs. KASSEBAUM. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the 
Senate completes its business today it stand in recess until the hour 
of 10 a.m. on Monday, February 5, for a pro forma session only, and 
that the Senate immediately stand in adjournment until 12 noon on 
Tuesday, February 6, 1996; that following the prayer, the Journal of 
proceedings be deemed approved to date, the time for the two leaders be 
reserved for their use later in the day, and there then be a period for 
morning business until the hour of 12:30 p.m., with Senators permitted 
to speak for up to 5 minutes each.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.


                              Cloture Vote

  Mrs. KASSEBAUM. I ask unanimous consent that the pending cloture vote 
be postponed to occur on Tuesday, February 6, with the time to be 
determined by the majority leader after consultation with the 
Democratic leader, and that first-degree and second-degree amendments 
be allowed to be filed until 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, notwithstanding 
rule XXII.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mrs. KASSEBAUM. It is the hope of this Senator, and I know others, 
that negotiations will continue with respect to a compromise amendment 
to the farm bill.

  However, if no agreement can be reached, then the cloture vote on the 
Craig-Leahy substitute would occur on Tuesday. In the event an 
agreement can be reached, votes can be expected with respect to the 
farm bill on Tuesday.
