                                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 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 
ordered.
