       RESOLUTION RELATIVE TO EMERGENCY LIVESTOCK FEED ASSISTANCE

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the immediate consideration of Senate Resolution 261; I 
further ask that the resolution be considered and agreed to and the 
motion to reconsider be laid upon the table, and that any statements 
relating to this resolution be printed in the Record.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The resolution (S. Res. 261) was agreed to; as follows:

                              S. Res. 261

     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 feed 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.
