do recommend to their respective Houses as follows:

That the Senate recede from its disagreement to the amendment of the House to agree to the same with an amendment as follows: In lieu of the matter proposed to be inserted by the House amendment insert the following: That (a) subsection (c) of section 4 of the Small Business Act is amended to read as follows:

All

"(c) There is hereby established in the Treasury a revolving fund, referred to in this section as 'the fund', for the Administration's use in financing the functions performed under sections 7(a), 7(b), and 8(a) and under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, including the payment of administrative expenses in connection with such functions. repayments of loans and debentures, payments of interest, and other receipts arising out of transactions financed from the fund shall be paid into the fund. As capital thereof, appropriations not to exceed $1,666,000,000 are hereby authorized to be made to the fund, which appropriations shall remain available until expended. Not to exceed an aggregate of $1,325,000,000 shall be outstanding at any one time for the purposes enumerated in the following sections of this Act: 7(a) (relating to regular business loans), 7(b) (relating to disaster loans), and 8(a) (relating to prime contract authority): Provided, That the Administration shall report promptly to the Committees on Appropriations and the Committees on Banking and Currency of the Senate and House of Representatives whenever (1) the aggregate amount outstanding for the purposes enumerated in sections 7(a) and 8(a) exceeds $1,222,000,000, or (2) the aggregate amount outstanding for the purpose enumerated in section 7(b) exceeds $103,000,000. Not to exceed an aggregate of $341,000,000 shall be outstanding from the fund at any one time for the exercise of the functions of the Administration under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958. The Administration shall pay into miscellaneous receipts of the Treasury, following the close of each fiscal year, interest on the outstanding cash disbursements from the fund, at rates determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, taking into consideration the current average yields on outstanding interestbearing marketable public debt obligations of the United States of comparable maturities as calculated for the month of June preceding such fiscal year."

(b) It is the sense of the Congress that the regular business loan program of the Small Business Administration should be reviewed by the Congress at least once every two years. It is further the sense of the Congress that the Small Business Administration should submit its estimated needs for additional authorization for such program to the Congress at least one year in advance of the date on which such authorization is to be provided, in order to assure an orderly and recurring review of such program and to avoid emergency appeals for additional authorization. Compliance by the Small

Business Administration with the foregoing policy will enable the Congress hereafter to provide additional authorization for such program on a two-year basis.

Sec. 2. (a) The Small Business Administration is empowered to make loans (either directly or in cooperation with banks or other lenders through agreements to participate on an immediate or deferred basis) to assist any firm to adjust to changed economic conditions resulting from increased competition from imported articles, but only if (1) an adjustment proposal of such firm has been certified by the Secretary of Commerce pursuant to the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, (2) the Secretary has referred such proposal to the Administration under that Act and the loan would provide part or all of the financial assistance to carry out such proposal, and (3) the Secretary's certification is in force at the time the Administration makes the loan.

(b) The Small Business Administration's authority to make loans under this section shall be in addition to and separate from its authority to make loans under the Small Business Act. With respect to loans made under this section the Administration shall apply the provisions of sections 314, 315, 316, 318, 319, and 320 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 as though such loans had been made under section 314 of that Act.

(c) There are hereby authorized to be appropriated, without fiscal year limitation, such sums as may be necessary to carry out this section.

(d) This section shall take effect on such date (on or after the enactment of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962) as the President may specify in a proclamation duly published in the Federal Register but in no case later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of such Act. And the House agree to the same. WILLIAM PROXMIRE,
