        the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate.
            (3) Discharge.--If the committee to which a resolution 
        described in paragraph (1) is referred has not reported such 
        resolution (or an identical resolution) by the end of the 20-
        day period beginning on the date on which the President 
        transmits the report to the Congress under subsection (b)(5), 
        such committee shall be, at the end of such period, discharged 
        from further consideration of such resolution, and such 
        resolution shall be placed on the appropriate calendar of the 
        House involved.
            (4) Consideration.--
                    (A) In general.--On or after the third day after 
                the date on which the committee to which such a 
                resolution is referred has reported, or has been 
                discharged (under paragraph (3)) from further 
                consideration of, such a resolution, it is in order 
                (even though a previous motion to the same effect has 
                been disagreed to) for any Member of the respective 
                House to move to proceed to the consideration of the 
                resolution (but only on the day after the calendar day 
                on which such Member announces to the House concerned 
                the Member's intention to do so). All points of order 
                against the resolution (and against consideration of 
                the resolution) are waived. The motion is highly 
                privileged in the House of Representatives and is 
                privileged in the Senate and is not debatable. The 
                motion is not subject to amendment, or to a motion to 
                postpone, or to a motion to proceed to the 
                consideration of other business. A motion to reconsider 
                the vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed 
                to shall not be in order. If a motion to proceed to the 
                consideration of the resolution is agreed to, the 
                respective House shall immediately proceed to 
                consideration of the joint resolution without 
                intervening motion, order, or other business, and the 
                resolution shall remain the unfinished business of the 
                respective House until disposed of.
                    (B) Debate.--Debate on the resolution, and on all 
                debatable motions and appeals in connection therewith, 
                shall be limited to not more than 2 hours, which shall 
                be divided equally between those favoring and those 
                opposing the resolution. An amendment to the resolution 
                is not in order. A motion further to limit debate is in 
                order and not debatable. A motion to postpone, or a 
                motion to proceed to the consideration of other 
                business, or a motion to recommit the resolution is not 
                in order. A motion to reconsider the vote by which the 
                resolution is agreed to or disagreed to is not in 
                order.
                    (C) Quorum call.--Immediately following the 
                conclusion of the debate on a resolution described in 
                paragraph (1) and a single quorum call at the 
                conclusion of the debate if requested in accordance 
                with the rules of the appropriate House, the vote on 
                final passage of the resolution shall occur.
                    (D) Appeals from decision of chair.--Appeals from 
                the decisions of the Chair relating to the application 
                of the rules of the Senate or the House of 
                Representatives, as the case may be, to the procedure 
                relating to a resolution described in paragraph (1) 
                shall be decided without debate.
            (5) Consideration by other house.--
                    (A) If, before the passage by one House of a 
                resolution of that House described in paragraph (1), 
                that House receives from the other House a resolution 
                described in paragraph (1), then the following 
                procedures shall apply:
                            (i) The resolution of the other House shall 
                        not be referred to a committee and may not be 
                        considered in the House receiving it except in 
                        the case of final passage as provided in clause 
                        (ii)(II).
                            (ii) With respect to a resolution described 
                        in paragraph (1) of the House receiving the 
                        resolution--
                                    (I) the procedure in that House 
                                shall be the same as if no resolution 
                                had been received from the other House; 
                                but
                                    (II) the vote on final passage 
                                shall be on the resolution of the other 
                                House.
                    (B) Consideration after disposition by other 
                house.--Upon disposition of the resolution received 
                from the other House, it shall no longer be in order to 
                consider the resolution that originated in the 
                receiving House.
            (6) Rules of the senate and house.--This subsection is 
        enacted by Congress--
                    (A) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the 
                Senate and House of Representatives, respectively, and 
                as such it is deemed a part of the rules of each House, 
                respectively, but applicable only with respect to the 
                procedure to be followed in that House in the case of a 
                resolution described in paragraph (1), and it 
                supersedes other rules only to the extent that it is 
                inconsistent with such rules; and
                    (B) with full recognition of the constitutional 
                right of either House to change the rules (so far as 
                relating to the procedure of that House) at any time, 
                in the same manner, and to the same extent as in the

SEC. 532. STUDY OF TERMINATION OF HELIUM SUBSIDY.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) the United States Government's helium recovery program 
        was instituted in 1925, when helium conservation was deemed to 
        be a matter of national security and no private sector helium 
        recovery industry existed;
            (2) today, as compared to 1925, there is little likelihood 
        that the United States will have to field a fleet of blimps on 
        an emergency basis;
            (3) private sources of helium are more than adequate for 
        serving existing and foreseeable future national needs;
            (4) since 1925, there has been a dramatic increase in 
        private industry's involvement in helium recovery, as a result 
        of the free market discovery of numerous commercial uses for 
        helium;
            (5) currently, private industry accounts for 90 percent of 
        all helium extraction and consumption;
            (6) the Government's helium recovery program currently owes 
        the Department of the Treasury $1,400,000,000 and loses an 
        additional $120,000,000 yearly on interest alone, and there is 
        no prospect for repayment of this debt without significant 
        reform; and
            (7) with combined public and private helium reserves 
        considerably in excess of foreseeable national helium needs, 
        there is no longer any need for the Federal Government to own 
        and operate a helium refining and marketing program.
    (b) Study.--(1) The Secretary of the Interior, in consultation with 
private industry, shall conduct a study to determine how best to--
            (A) sell or otherwise dispose of, at the best possible 
        terms available to the United States, all facilities, 
        equipment, and other real or personal property, or rights 
        thereto, held by the United States in connection with 
        activities carried out under the Helium Act, unless such 
        facilities, equipment, or other real or personal property, or 
        rights thereto, are required for other Federal purposes;
            (B) sell or otherwise dispose of, at the best possible 
        terms available to the United States, the helium reserves held 
        by the United States other than amounts required for the 
        specific immediate needs of the Federal Government, in a manner 
        consistent with the orderly conduct of commercial helium 
        markets; and
            (C) ensure the full repayment of loans made under section 
        12 of the Helium Act.
    (2) The Secretary of the Interior shall transmit to the Congress 
within one year after the date of enactment of this Act a report 
containing the results of the study conducted under paragraph (1).

from projects that--
            (1) are not continuations of ongoing work under contract;
            (2) are not economically justified, or environmentally 
        beneficial in a manner commensurate with costs;
            (3) are not environmentally acceptable;
            (4) are not in compliance with standard cost sharing;
            (5) do not have available the necessary non-Federal

to be derived from projects that--
            (1) are not continuations of ongoing work under contract;
            (2) in the case of new projects, are inconsistent with the 
        priorities of the Secretary of the Interior;
            (3) are not environmentally beneficial in a manner 
        commensurate with costs; or
            (4) do not have available the necessary non-Federal cost 
        sharing.

SEC. 582. REFORM OF HUD MULTIFAMILY PROPERTY DISPOSITION.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) the portfolio of multifamily housing project mortgages 
        insured by the FHA is severely troubled and at risk of default, 
        requiring the Secretary to increase loss reserves from 
        $5,500,000,000 in 1991 to $11,900,000,000 in 1992 to cover 
        estimated future losses;
            (2) the inventory of multifamily housing projects owned by 
        the Secretary has more than tripled since 1989, and, by the end 
        of 1993, may exceed 75,000 units;
            (3) the cost to the Federal Government of owning and 
        maintaining multifamily housing projects escalated to 
        approximately $250,000,000 in fiscal year 1992;
            (4) the inventory of multifamily housing projects subject 
        to mortgages held by the Secretary has increased dramatically, 
        to more than 2,400 mortgages, and approximately half of these 
        mortgages, with over 230,000 units, are delinquent;
            (5) the inventory of insured and formerly insured 
        multifamily housing projects is rapidly deteriorating, 
        endangering tenants and neighborhoods;
            (6) over 5 million families today have a critical need for 
        housing that is affordable and habitable; and
            (7) the current statutory framework governing the 
        disposition of multifamily housing projects effectively impedes 
        the Government's ability to dispose of properties, protect 
        tenants, and ensure that projects are maintained over time.
    (b) Management and Disposition of Multifamily Housing Projects.--
Section 203 of the Housing and Community Development Amendments of 1978 
(12 U.S.C. 1701z-11) is amended to read as follows:

``SEC. 203. MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSITION OF MULTIFAMILY HOUSING PROJECTS.

    ``(a) Goals.--The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (in 
this section referred to as the `Secretary') shall manage or dispose of

are subject to a mortgage held by the Secretary in a manner that--
            ``(1) is consistent with the National Housing Act and this 
        section;
            ``(2) will protect the financial interests of the Federal 
        Government; and
            ``(3) will, in the least costly fashion among reasonable 
        available alternatives, further the goals of--
                    ``(A) preserving housing so that it can remain 
                available to and affordable by low-income persons;
                    ``(B) preserving and revitalizing residential 
                neighborhoods;
                    ``(C) maintaining existing housing stock in a 
                decent, safe, and sanitary condition;
                    ``(D) minimizing the involuntary displacement of 
                tenants;
                    ``(E) maintaining housing for the purpose of 
                providing rental housing, cooperative housing, and 
                homeownership opportunities for low-income persons; and
                    ``(F) minimizing the need to demolish multifamily 
                housing projects.
The Secretary, in determining the manner in which a project is to be 
managed or disposed of, may balance competing goals relating to 
individual projects in a manner that will further the purposes of this

                such interest.

                expiration of the 45-day period referred to in

        affordability restrictions or otherwise restructuring the 
        transaction in a manner that enhances the long-term

        in exchange for the extension of low-income affordability

        Secretary and the unit of general local government or

        identify tenants who will be displaced, and shall notify all 
        such tenants of their pending displacement and of any 
        relocation assistance which may be available. In the case of a
