                                        - 73 -                                         
               As amended, the provisions of the House bill were included              
          as Subtitle B of Title X (Revenue Provisions) of the Omnibus                 
          Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (H.R. 3545) as passed by the               
          House in October 1987.  H. Rept. 100-795, at 2.  Paragraphs (1)              
          and (4) of section 10205(c) of the House-passed H.R. 3545 are                
          identical to the language of paragraphs (1) and (4) of section               
          105(c) of H.R. 2636 set forth supra.  The description of the                 
          amendment to the definition of “personal interest” in the House              
          Budget Committee’s report (the committee report for H.R. 3545) is            
          identical to the description of the amendment in the staff                   
          pamphlet describing section 105(c)(4) of H.R. 2636 as introduced,            
          set forth supra.  H. Rept. 100-391, at 1171 (1987).  The report’s            
          description of the amendment to the definition of “investment                
          interest” adds to the description in the staff pamphlet                      
          describing section 105(c)(1) of H.R. 2636 as introduced, set                 
          forth supra.  Id. at 1170.  Below is the committee report                    
          explanation of the amendment to the definition of “investment                
          interest”; the underscored language signifies language that was              
          not included in the staff pamphlet describing section 105(c)(1)              
          of H.R. 2636 as introduced:                                                  
                              Explanation of Provisions                                
                    Investment interest.–-The bill conforms the                        
               language of the definition of investment interest to                    
               the language of a related provision that allocates                      
               interest expense to portfolio income under the passive                  
               loss rule.  Thus, under the bill, investment interest                   
               is that which is properly allocable to property held
