I do so in opposition to this amendment which I understand takes part of the program and makes it available into the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The problem with that is that this adds an unneeded complication to the administration and accounting of the HOME program and is unnecessary since under existing rules, if the funds are obligated on time, they will be available to homeowners during the last quarter of the year. Mr. Chairman, this causes a great deal of problems in the administration of this program, so I would urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this amendment. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
