officers of a failed institution from purchasing assets from the FDIC 
an extension to include not only the failed institution, but any 
affiliate of such institution, so as to comply with the applicable 
statute. The other change was to limit the prohibition against FDIC 
contractors from purchasing assets in connection with which they had 
performed services to three years, and to impose no limit if the FDIC 
service contract allowed for the purchase.
