ratio) is amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph:

                otherwise includible (without regard to this paragraph) 
                in gross income under this section. For purposes of the 
                preceding sentence, the amount excludible from gross 
                income in any taxable year shall not exceed $20,000.

                $20,000 amount in subparagraph (A) shall be increased 
                by an amount equal to--
                            ``(i) such dollar amount, multiplied by

                        determined by substituting `calendar year 2004'

                contract' for the term `annuity contract' wherever it 
                appears.''.
            (2) Conforming amendment.--Section 101(d)(1) of such Code 
        is amended by inserting ``or paragraph (4)'' after ``to the 
        extent not excluded by the preceding sentence''.
    (e) Effective Date.--
            (1) In general.--The amendments made by this section shall 
        apply to amounts received in calendar years beginning after the 
        date of the enactment of this Act.

        contract in force on the date of the enactment of this Act that 
        does not satisfy the requirements of section 72(c)(5)(A) of the 
        Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as added by this section), or 
        requirements similar to such section 72(c)(5)(A) in the case of 
        a life insurance contract), any modification to such contract 
        (including a change in ownership) or to the payments thereunder 
        that is made to satisfy the requirements of such section (or 
        similar requirements) shall not result in the recognition of 
        any gain or loss, any amount being included in gross income, or 
        any addition to tax that otherwise might result from such 
        modification, but only if the modification is completed prior 
        to the date that is 2 years after the date of the enactment of 
        this Act.
[EX A]: Retirement Security for Life Act of 2004 - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow an exclusion from gross income for 50 percent of the amount otherwise includible in gross income as guaranteed payments from certain annuity or life insurance contracts. Limits the amount of such exclusion to $20,000 in any taxable year. Provides for an inflation adjustment of the $20,000 limitation beginning in 2006.

[EX Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Children's Health Insurance for 
Long-Term Development Act of 1996''.

SEC. 2. PURPOSE.

    The purpose of this act is to provide health insurance coverage for 
children during the Infant Neurological Risk Exposure Period (INREP). 
The INREP extends through age 3 and encompasses the period of most 
rapid neurological changes in young children. Health coverage will 
improve children's health and, through routine health supervision, 
promote parents' caregiving skills through these critical years.

SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) 86 percent of children with private health insurance 
        are under-insured with respect to well-child care;
            (2) because the human brain develops rapidly until the age 
        of 3, children need regular screenings and follow-up care to 
        detect neurological abnormalities and ensure normal 
        development;
            (3) regular pediatric visits enable physicians to provide 
        guidance on parental activities, such as reading, that 
        stimulate the brain development of infants; and
            (4) children deserve health care coverage that promotes 
        normal brain and nervous system development.

Depository Institution Community Development Investments Enhancement Act - Amends the Home Owners' Loan Act to revise requirements for community development investments by federal savings associations.

Authorizes a federal savings association to make investments, directly or indirectly, each of which is designed primarily to promote the public welfare, including the welfare of low- and moderate-income communities or families through the provision of housing, services, and jobs (community development investments).

Permits such investments to be made directly or by purchase of interests in an entity primarily engaged in making such investments.

Prohibits a federal savings association from making an investment which would subject it to unlimited liability to any person.

Requires the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision to establish: (1) the amount any savings association may invest in any one project; and (2) the aggregate amount of investment of any savings association.

Restricts the aggregate amount of investment of any savings association, subject to specified determinations made by the Director.

Prohibits the maximum aggregate amount of investments of any savings association from exceeding the same 15% of its capital stock actually paid in and unimpaired and 15% of its unimpaired surplus as imposed by this Act on national banking associations and state member banks.
