                 CORRECTING THE ENROLLMENT OF H.R. 2854

  Mr. DOLE. Pursuant to a previous unanimous consent agreement, I now 
call up Senate Concurrent Resolution 49, correcting the enrollment of 
the farm conference report.

Resolution 49, a concurrent resolution to correct the enrollment of 
H.R. 2854 previously submitted by the Senator from Indiana is agreed 
to.

                            S. Con. Res. 49

       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring), That the Clerk of the House of Representatives, 
     in the enrollment of the bill (H.R. 2854) to modify the 
     operation of certain agricultural programs, shall make the 
     following corrections:
       In section 215--

         AGRICULTURAL MARKET TRANSITION ACT--CONFERENCE REPORT

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the conference report to 
accompany H.R. 2854.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       The committee on conference on the disagreeing votes of the 
     two Houses on the amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 
     2854) a bill to modify the operation of certain agricultural 
     programs, having met, after full and free conference, have 
     agreed to recommend and do recommend to their respective 
     Houses this report, signed by a majority of the conferees.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, the Senate will proceed to 
the consideration of the conference report.
  (The conference report is printed in the House proceedings of the 
Record of March 25, 1996.)
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Debate on the conference report is limited to 
6 hours; 2 hours under the control of the Senator from Indiana, Senator 
Lugar; 1 hour under the control of the Senator from Vermont, Senator 
Leahy; and 3 hours under the control of the Democratic leader or his 
designee.
  Mr. DOLE. Madam President, I hope most, if not all, of the debate 
will be used this evening. I know the Senator from Indiana, the 
chairman of the committee, is here and prepared to debate. I know there 
are some others who may want to be heard tomorrow. But hopefully we can 
conclude action on this tomorrow morning and get it over to the House 
so they can conclude it before they take up health care; otherwise, we 
are going to have a problem getting it passed before the Easter recess.
  So there will be no further votes tonight. That has already been 
announced. I thank the chairman of the committee. I think Senator Leahy 
is also going to be here for some debate. I know the distinguished 
Democratic leader has time reserved too.
  Mr. DASCHLE addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The minority leader.
