I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 49, after line 9, insert the following: TITLE XI ADDITIONAL GENERAL PROVISION Sec. __. The amounts otherwise provided by this Act are revised by reducing the amount made available for ``Small Business Administration--Disaster Loans Program Account'' for administrative expenses to carry out the direct loan program authorized by section 7(b) of the Small Business Act (and within such amount, the amount made available for direct administrative expenses of loan making and servicing to carry out such program), and increasing the amount made available for ``Department of Veterans Affairs--National Cemetery Administration'', by $1,000,000. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 23, the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Velazquez) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from New York.
