to lie on the table; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:
       Sec. __.  Notwithstanding any other provision of any 
     division of this Act, no funds made available under any 
     division of this Act may be used to carry out any program of 
     the Small Business Administration that--
       (1) asks the owner of a business entity applying for 
     assistance under the program to provide the race or ethnicity 
     of that owner; and
       (2) as part of determining eligibility for assistance under 
     the program, considers whether an applicant for that 
     assistance (including the owner of a business entity applying 
     for that assistance) is socially disadvantaged.
