ST A T.
"(3) After the Administrator has entered into a commitment to make a veteran a loan under this subsection, he may refer the proposed loan to the Voluntary Home Mortgage Credit Committee, in order to afford a private lender the opportunity to acquire such loan subject to guaranty as provided in paragraph (5) of subsection (d) of this section. If, before the expiration of sixty days after the loan made to the veteran by the Administrator is fully disbursed, a private lender agrees to purchase such loan, all or any part of the commitment fee paid to the Administrator with respect to such loan may be paid to such private lender when such loan is so purchased. "If a private lender has not purchased or agreed to purchase such loan before the expiration of sixty days after the loan made by the Administrator is fully disbursed, the commitment fee paid with respect to such loan shall become a part of the special deposit account referred to in subsection (c) of section 513 of this title. If a loan is not made to a veteran for the purchase of a dwelling, the commitment fee paid with respect to such dwelling shall become a part of such special deposit account. "(4) The Administrator may exempt dwellings constructed through assistance provided by this subsection from the minimum land planning and subdivision requirements prescribed pursuant to subsection (b) of section 504 of this title, and with respect to such dwellings may prescribe special minimum land planning and subdivision requirements which shall be in keeping with the general housing facilities in the locality but shall require that such dwellings meet minimum requirements of structural soundness and general acceptability. (f) The authority to make loans under this section shall expire July 25, 1960, except that if a commitment to a veteran to make such a loan was issued by the Administrator before that date the loan may be completed after that date. "{^) (1) The Administrator shall commence the processing of any application for a loan under this section upon the receipt of such application, and shall continue such processing notwithstanding the lact that the assistance of the Voluntary Home Mortgage Credit Committee has been requested by the Administrator for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not such loan can be placed with a private lender. "(2) If the assistance of such Committee has been requested by the Administrator in connection with any such application, and the Administrator is not notified by such Committee within (A) twenty working days after such assistance has been requested, or (B) twenty working days after the date of enactment of this subsection, whichever is the later, that it has been successful in enabling the applicant to place such loan with a private lender or expects to do so within ten additional working days, the Administrator shall proceed forthwith to complete any part of the processing of such application remaining unfinished, and to grant or deny the application in accordance with the provisions of this section. "(3) As used in this subsection, the term 'working days' means calendar days exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays." (b)(1) Subsection (a) of section 513 of such Act (38 U.S.C. sec. 694m) is amended (1) by striking out "June 30, 1957" and inserting "July 25, 1960", and (2) by inserting immediately before the period at the end of the second sentence thereof the following: "retaining, however, a reasonable reserve for making loans with respect to which he has entered into commitments with veterans before such last day".
