SCHEDULE
Mr. REID. Mr. President, following leader remarks, the Senate will
resume consideration of the farm bill. The filing deadline for second-
degree amendments is 9:45 a.m. today.
At 10 a.m., there will be three rollcall votes; first, a cloture vote
on the farm bill, then a cloture vote on the motion to proceed to S.
1003, the Republican student loan bill, and, finally, a cloture vote on
the motion to proceed on S. 953, which is the Democratic student loan
bill.
Senator Lautenberg will lie in repose in the Senate Chamber this
afternoon. Senators will gather at 2:15 p.m. in the Ohio Clock corridor
to go to the floor and pay their respects.
I wish to briefly say I truly appreciate, as we all do, the Sergeant
at Arms Terry Gainer and his whole staff for making this so very
pleasant--at least as pleasant as a funeral can be. It was truly a
celebration.
Because of the Jewish tradition, this had to be jammed in with not a
lot of time, so we were under tremendous
[[Page S3970]]
pressure. I appreciate the work which allowed us to get this done.
I appreciate what Secretary Hagel, Ash Carter at the Pentagon, the
Assistant Secretary of the Senate, Sheila Dwyer, and her entire staff
in the Secretary's Office have done to make this whole situation as
pleasant as it has been.
Order of Procedure
I now ask unanimous consent that when the Senate resumes
consideration of the farm bill this morning, the time until 10 a.m. be
equally divided and controlled between the two leaders or their
designees.
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so
ordered.
Mr. REID. Following the vote on the motion to invoke cloture on S.
953, I ask unanimous consent that the time until 11:45 a.m. be equally
divided and controlled between the two leaders or their designees, with
Senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each; further,
that I be recognized at 11:45 a.m. today.
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so
