     of a mortgagee to originate or underwrite single family 
     mortgages if the Secretary determines that the mortgage loans

     notice, the mortgagee shall be entitled to an informal 
     conference with the official authorized to issue termination 
     notices on behalf of the Secretary (or a designee of that

     Urban Development shall maintain any rental assistance 
     payments under section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 
     1937 that are attached to any dwelling units in the property.
