Please help to identify open ended rubber hose near MAF.

Please help to identify open ended rubber hose near MAF.
In the process of fixing the starter on my 97 Auto Max, I had to remove the MAF and Air intake resonator (slightly curved black box). Now that I am putting things back together, I noticed a small hose that I can't remember if it should be connected to something.
I am trying to make sure I don't leave something disconnected, I have looked into both Haynes and Nissan Shop Manual and cannot find any reference to it.
I would appreciate it if anyone can help. Thanks in advance.
I will describe the location of the hose below:
* If you stand on the driver side of the car.
* Then if you look at the air intake resonator. On the left side of the box is where the crankcase ventilation tube connects to.
* Now I notice that there is a plastic clip that hangs onto the crankcase ventilation rubber tube, and there is a smaller rubber hose that is hanging onto the lower end of that same clip. I guess it is using the ventilation tube to hold its position.
* But that smaller hose is open ended and I cannot find where it should connect to, or if it has always been open ended just dangling.
* I tried to follow that hose to the other end, I think it connects to a thin metal tube that in turns is connected to the engine lower down.
