paramount importance that the NCUA place safety and soundness as a 
cornerstone of its oversight of these credit unions.

        ``(or, as the Board may allow by regulation, shall not exceed 
        20 years)'' after ``15 years''; and
            (2) in subparagraph (A)(i), by striking ``or will be the
