        rental assistance for families as the result of insufficient
        funding, as determined by the Secretary, and to avoid or reduce

        eligible for assistance to be provided by the receiving project
        or projects shall not be required to vacate their units in the
        transferring project or projects until new units in the

        best interest of the tenants.
            (7) If either the transferring project or the receiving
        project or projects meets the condition specified in subsection
        (d)(2)(A), any lien on the receiving project resulting from
        additional financing obtained by the owner shall be subordinate
        to any FHA-insured mortgage lien transferred to, or placed on,
        such project by the Secretary, except that the Secretary may
        waive this requirement upon determination that such a waiver is
        necessary to facilitate the financing of acquisition,
        construction, and/or rehabilitation of the receiving project or
        projects.

        subsection (d)(2), the owner or mortgagor of the receiving
        project or projects shall execute and record either a
        continuation of the existing use agreement or a new use
        agreement for the project where, in either case, any use
        restrictions in such agreement are of no lesser duration than

appropriated under titles III through VI of this Act may be made

        Security makes an individualized determination that the woman--
                    (A) is a serious flight risk, and such risk cannot

appropriate medical professional treating the woman, may be used. In no
case may restraints be used on a woman who is in active labor or
delivery, and in no case may a pregnant woman be restrained in a face-
down position with four-point restraints, on her back, or in a
restraint belt that constricts the area of the pregnancy. A pregnant
