                   AMENDING THE NATIONAL HOUSING ACT

  Mr. GRAMS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Banking 
Committee be discharged from further consideration of H.R. 5193 and the 
Senate then proceed to its immediate consideration.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The clerk 
will report the bill by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 5193) to amend the National Housing Act to 
     temporarily extend the applicability of the downpayment 
     simplification provisions for the FHA single family housing 
     mortgage insurance program.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill.
  Mr. GRAMS. I ask unanimous consent that the bill be read a third time 
and passed, the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table, and that 
any statements relating to the bill be printed in the Record.
