Mr. President, I have been told that H.R. 5623 has been received from the House and is now at the desk. I ask for its first reading. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct. The clerk will report the bill by title for the first time. The assistant legislative clerk read as follows: A bill (H.R. 5623) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to extend the homebuyer tax credit for the purchase of a principal residence before October 1, 2010, in the case of a written binding contract, entered into with respect to such principal residence before May 1, 2010, and for other purposes.
