Mr. President, very quickly, that was the last vote today. It appears we will have no votes tomorrow. But Senator Stabenow and Senator Roberts are working very diligently to come up with an agreement on the farm bill. We are going to have a vote Monday evening. We have not decided exactly what that will be on. We have a number of different alternatives. But we hope we can have common sense prevail and be able to come up with an agreement, if for no other reason than to recognize the hard work of the two managers of this bill. It is so important we get this done. There are issues we are going to vote on, one of which Senator Kerry will talk about. There are relevant amendments. We have a lot of them. We will agree to vote on those. We are trying to work out also the nonrelevant amendments, and we are not there yet. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Massachusetts. Aponte Nomination
