account for over 21,000,000 jobs and approximately
16 percent, or over $41,000,000,000,000, of the

victed and still incarcerated are former President
General Olusegun Obasanjo, the only military leader
in Nigeria to return power to democratic civilian
rule, General Shehu Musa Yar-Adua, deputy to the
President in Abaasanjo’s Administration, and later,
human rights activist Beko Ransome-Kuti.
(4) The people of Nigeria and the international
community had been led to believe that the presi-
dential election held in Nigeria on June 12, 1993,
would result in a return to full democratic civilian
rule in Nigeria.
(5) General Ibrahim Babangida, the head of Ni-
geria’s military government at the time of the June
12, 1993, election interrupted the release of the elec-
tion results on June 23, 1993, and later annulled
the election, thereby preventing a return to civilian
rule.
(6) The election process indicated that voters in
Nigeria—a country with a population of approxi-
mately 90,000,000 persons comprising 250 ethnic
groups and spread across 357,000 square miles—
were expressing a spirit of national unity that tran-

DEBT.—Credit shall not be provided toward the

aggregate amount of project debt that is not 
reasonable, as determined in accordance with 
prudent underwriting standards established by 
the Director, in proportion to project income, as 
documented in accordance with the standards 
established under this subsection. 
‘‘(B) TREATMENT OF SECURITIES.—In the 
case of any purchase by an enterprise of a secu-
rity, or an interest in a security, that is backed 
by mortgages that finance units that would oth-
erwise qualify for credit toward the achievement 
of the multifamily special affordable housing 
goal if financed directly by the enterprise, if the 
Director determines that such purchase may be 
counted toward the achievement of the goal 
under this section, the Director shall require 
the enterprise to apply the same standard as 
set forth in subparagraph (A) with respect to 
mortgage purchases to the mortgages backing

nanced by such mortgages are eligible for credit 
toward the achievement of the housing goal. 
‘‘(C) RENT
LEVELS.—In measuring the 
performance of each enterprise in meeting the 
goal established under this section, rent levels 
for units shall be calculated by using the great-
er of the rent levels at the time the loan is pur-
chased or the rent levels under the pro forma 
operating income statement on which the un-
derwriting for the loan was based. 
‘‘(D) CARRYOVER.—If the Director pro-
vides credit toward the achievement of the mul-
tifamily special affordable housing goal under 
this section, for any year, for any mortgage 
purchase by an enterprise, but determines at 
any time thereafter that, because of failure to 
comply with the standards established under 
subparagraphs (A) and (B), such purchase does 
not qualify for such credit or does not qualify 
for such credit to the extent previously pro-
vided, the Director shall increase the multi-
family special housing goal for such enterprise 
for the current or ensuing year otherwise appli-
cable to the extent of such nonqualification.’’.

JANUARY 4, 1995
Mr. JABOBS introduced the following bill; which was referred to the

To qualify Martin University of Indianapolis, Indiana, for
participation in the program under part B of title III
of the Higher Education Act of 1965.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) Martin University stands firmly in the lib-
eral arts tradition while providing access to a college
degree to those who previously found higher edu-
cation financially an unattainable goal.
(2) The university places special emphasis on
adult, minority, and low-income students. 90 percent
of its enrollment is African-American, the average
age is 40, and 70 percent receive financial aid. 85
percent are the first from their families to attend
college.
(3) Martin University holds its students to high
academic standards and makes available mentors,
preenrollment programs and other special-assistance
features.
(4) Martin University offers undergraduate bac-
calaureate degrees and master’s degrees specifically
designed to assist low-income, minority, and adult-
aged persons. The philosophy of Martin University is
that higher education needs to be made available to
all who can benefit. As an extension of its focus on
a unique target population, the University serves the
community in addition to the degree program
through other programs for low-income, minority,
and adult-aged persons.
(5) Martin University is an important part of
the conscience of the Hoosier Community, providing
opportunities for people from various backgrounds to
come together, learn about one another, and learn
skills for gainful employment. All this is done with
excellence.
(6) Martin University is accredited by the
North Central Association of Colleges and Schools,
and is an Equal Opportunity Educational Institution
affiliated with the National Association for Equal
Opportunity in Higher Education.
(7) Martin University has all the qualifications
traditionally required for designation of Historically
Black Colleges and Universities except for the arbi-
trary date of origin required by existing law, and yet
Martin University has existed for nearly a quarter of
a century.
SEC. 2. ELIGIBILITY FOR PROGRAM.
