               AGRICULTURAL MARKET TRANSITION ACT OF 1996

  The Senate continued with the consideration of the bill.
  Mr. DOLE. Madam President, what I am going to do here is obtain the 
consent on the farm bill so that we maybe can vote on final passage 
tomorrow at 4:45. So let me start that consent.
  Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that Senator Craig be 
recognized to modify amendment No. 3184 with permanent law provisions, 
and once that modification has been made, no amendments be in order to 
strike the permanent law modification during the pendency of S. 1541.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DOLE. Madam President, I further ask unanimous consent that all 
amendments in order to amendment No. 3184 as modified be limited to 30 
minutes, to be equally divided in the usual form, and must be relevant 
to the subject matter contained in amendment No. 3184 or farm related.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DOLE. Madam President, I further ask unanimous consent that all 
amendments be offered in the first degree and not be subject to second 
degrees and offered on an alternating basis between the parties, and 
that the majority side be limited to 5 amendments, the minority side 
limited to 10 amendments.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DASCHLE. Reserving the right to object on that, just for 
clarification, I think the leader and I would encourage, if there is 
not a Senator on one side, that we would just go ahead and--the idea 
would be to alternate. We will leave it to the managers to make that 
determination.
  Mr. DOLE. Right. That is the understanding of the chairman of the 
committee, Senator Lugar, and I think Senator Leahy. It is going to be 
a rather tight timeframe in any event. So we do not want to waste any 
time.
  Madam President, I further ask unanimous consent with respect to the 
Santorum amendment concerning peanuts that there be 15 minutes under 
the control of Senator Santorum and 30 minutes under the control of 
Senator Heflin.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DOLE. Finally, Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that 
final passage occur on S. 1541, as amended, no later than 4:45 p.m., 
Wednesday, February 7, 1996.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
