    PRESERVING ABILITY OF FEDERAL HOUSING ADMINISTRATION TO INSURE 
                               MORTGAGES

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to take from the 
Speaker's table the Senate bill (S. 2712) to preserve the ability of 
the Federal Housing Administration to insure mortgages under sections 
238 and 519 of the National Housing Act, and ask for its immediate 
consideration in the House.
  The Clerk read the title of the Senate bill.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Ohio?

  There was no objection.
  The Clerk read the Senate bill, as follows:

                                S. 2712

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

     SECTION 1. AMENDMENT TO GENERAL AND SPECIAL RISK PROGRAM 
                   ACCOUNT.

       Under the heading ``Federal Housing Administration--General 
     and Special Risk Program Account'' in title II of Division G 
     of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2004 (Public Law 108-
     199), in the first proviso, strike ``$25,000,000,000'' and 
     insert ``$29,000,000,000''.

  The Senate bill was ordered to be read a third time, was read the 
third time, and passed, and a motion to reconsider was laid on the
