“it is my understanding we now have 2 hours equally divided to discuss the conference report. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Once the clerk reports the conference report by title, that is correct. The clerk will now report. The assistant legislative clerk read as follows: The Committee of conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 2744) making appropriations for Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2006, and for other purposes, having met, have agreed that the House recede from its disagreement to the amendment of the Senate and agree to the same with an amendment and the Senate agree to the same, signed by a majority of conferees on the part of both Houses. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senate will proceed to the consideration of the conference report. (The conference report is printed in the proceedings of the House in the Record of October 26, 2005.) The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. DeMint). The Senator from Utah is recognized.”
