    SENATE RESOLUTION 261--RELATIVE TO THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE

  Mr. GRAMM (for himself, Mrs. Hutchison, Mr. Domenici, and Mr. 
Pressler) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and 
agreed to:

                              S. Res. 261

       Resolved,

     SECTION 1. ELIGIBILITY FOR EMERGENCY LIVESTOCK FEED 
                   ASSISTANCE.

       It is the sense of the Senate that, as part of the orderly 
     termination of the emergency livestock freed assistance 
     program established under title VI of the Agricultural Act of 
     1949 (7 U.S.C. 1471 et seq.), livestock producers who were 
     eligible for emergency livestock feed assistance for the 1995 
     crop year, but were unable to apply for the assistance for 
     the 1996 crop year, and who have suffered a qualifying loss 
     as determined by the Secretary, should be eligible to receive 
     assistance under the program through at least August 31, 
     1996.
