 Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1102) to establish the 
 National Affordable Housing Trust Fund in the Treasury of the United 
States to provide for the development, rehabilitation, and preservation 
    of decent, safe, and affordable housing for low-income families.

    Resolved, That immediately upon adoption of this resolution the 
Speaker shall declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of the bill 
(H.R. 1102) to establish the National Affordable Housing Trust Fund in 
the Treasury of the United States to provide for the development, 
rehabilitation, and preservation of decent, safe, and affordable 
housing for low-income families. The first reading of the bill shall be 
dispensed with. All points of order against consideration of the bill 
are waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not 
exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Financial Services. After 
general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the 
five-minute rule. The bill shall be considered as read. The amendment 
printed in section 2 shall be considered as adopted in the House and in 
the Committee of the Whole. During consideration of the bill for 
further amendment, the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may 
accord priority in recognition on the basis of whether the Member 
offering an amendment has caused it to be printed in the portion of the 
Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 8 of rule 
XVIII. Amendments so printed shall be considered as read. At the 
conclusion of consideration of the bill for amendment the Committee 
shall rise and report the bill, as amended, to the House with such 
further amendments as may have been adopted. The previous question 
shall be considered as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to 
final passage without intervening motion except one motion to recommit 
with or without instructions.
    Sec. 2. The amendment referred to in the first section of this 
resolution is as follows:
    Amend section 292(b) of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable 
Housing Act, as proposed to be added by section 2 of H.R. 1102, to read 
as follows:
    ``(b) Funding.--There are authorized to be appropriated for 
providing assistance under this subtitle such sums as may be necessary 
for fiscal year 2004 and each fiscal year thereafter.''.
    Sec. 3. If the Committee of the Whole rises and reports that it has 
come to no resolution on the bill, then on the next legislative day the 
House shall, immediately after the third daily order of business under 
clause 1 of rule XIV, resolve into the Committee of the Whole for 
further consideration of the bill.
