  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that with respect to 
the previous consent on the appointment of conferees to H.R. 2854, the 
consent be modified to reflect the following: With respect to the

Committee on Agriculture may substitute for named Democratic members of 
the conference as needed, provided that no more than six Republicans or 
five Democratic conferees participate in the conference meetings at any 
given time; that the total number of Democratic and Republican 
conferees signing the conference report do not exceed the number so 
named as conferees.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
