          FARMERS HOME ADMINISTRATION IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 1994

  Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
Agriculture Committee be discharged from further consideration of S. 
1930, the Farmers Home Administration Improvement Act of 1994, and that 
the Senate then proceed to its immediate consideration; that the bill 
be deemed read a third time, passed, and the motion to reconsider laid 
upon the table.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  So the bill (S. 1930) was deemed read a third time and passed, as 
follows:

                                S. 1930

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Farmers Home Administration 
     Improvement Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 2. DELINQUENT FARMERS HOME ADMINISTRATION OBLIGATIONS.

       Section 331 of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development 
     Act (7 U.S.C. 1981) is amended by adding at the end the 
     following new subsection:
       ``(c) The Secretary may use for the prosecution or defense 
     of any claim or obligation described in subsection (b)(5) the 
     Attorney General, the General Counsel of the Department of
