       Resolved,

     SECTION 1. SPECIAL CONSIDERATION FOR DISASTER ASSISTANCE.

       It is the sense of the Senate that livestock producers who 
     do not qualify for emergency livestock feed assistance for 
     the 1996 crop year, but have incurred feed losses in 1996 
     due to drought, flooding, or other natural disasters, 
     should receive special consideration for assistance from 
     commodities or the sale of commodities currently available 
     in the disaster reserve established under section 813 of 
     the Agricultural Act of 1970 (7 U.S.C. 1427a). A livestock 
     producer should be eligible to receive the assistance 
     during the period beginning May 1, 1996, and ending not 
     sooner than August 31, 1996.
