Opening Statement of
Representative Paul E. Kanjorski
Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Securities and Government
Sponsored Enterprises
Oversight Hearing on Government Sponsored Enterprises
April 17, 1996
Mr. Chairman, I have long believed that the Congress does not, as a rule, conduct enough
oversight over the entities it has created and the laws it has passed. Our hearing today, and the
two additional hearings you have scheduled for this June, are evidence of your commitment to
strong and effective oversight.
I had intended to use my opening statement today to discuss some of the major policy
issues before us as we examine the performance of HUD, the Office of Federal Housing
Enterprise Oversight, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac since the passage of the 1992 law which
dramatically rewrote their charters, authoritics and obligations.
I am compelled instead, to take public exception to an article entitled "Grow Up, Fannie
Mae" which appeared on the op-ed page of yesterday's Washington Post, authored by James K.
Glassman, a journalist whose opinions I generally respect. Both the tone and substance of this
article unfairly impugn the integrity of Franklin Raines and Fannie Mae. They are unworthy of
both Mr. Glassman and the Post.
The implication of the article is that Fannie Mae used its power to convince the President
of the United States to nominate its Vice Chairman, Franklin Raines, to be the Director of Office
of Management and Budget in order to protect itself from user fees. The article would have us
believe that Mr. Raines is willing to take a 95% cut in his pay in order to protect Fannie Mae and
its stockholders. This is a conspiracy theory so wild that it reads like outtakes from an Oliver
Stone screenplay or excerpts from the Unabomber's manifesto.
I do not know Franklin Raines personally. I do know that his professional reputation is
first class, and his record of integrity is unquestioned. I do know that he has served with
distinction at OMB in the past and that he is eminently qualified for the position to which he has
been nominated. I also know that it is precisely because of unjustified attacks like this that it is

becoming increasingly difficult to attract high caliber individuals from the private sector to serve
in the government. Mr. Glassman owes Mr. Raines an apology.
In addition to its snide innuendoes about Frank Raines, the article is fatally flawed
because it focuses only on the advantages that accrue from GSE status and not on any of the
obligations that are imposed on GSEs as a result of their public charters.
The article does not mention that the housing GSEs are required by law to offer services
across the entire nation. They do not have the luxury that other firms have to pick and choose
their markets. They had to operate in the Southwest when the bottom fell out of the market in
the 1980's, in the Midwest and New England when they have had their financial problems, in
California when housing prices fell, as well as the poorest sections of Appalachia and the farthest
flung sections of Alaska.
The article neglects to mention that the housing GSEs cannot offer the range of products
and services that other firms can offer. For safety and soundness reasons, their range of products
and services is tightly controlled, and they must obtain approval from HUD before they can offer
new products. Even in the housing area, the GSEs must live under a maximum mortgage cap.
While one of the GSEs has unwisely recommended that this cap be eliminated, it remains in
place, and allows other firms to skim the cream off the top of this market.
The article unfairly implies that while a lot has changed since Fannie was chartered in
1938. the GSEs and their regulatory structure have not In fact, the Congress has dramatically
overhauled their operations and regulations on a number of occasions, including as recently as
1992. We have imposed significant new regulatory requirements on the GSEs.
The article neglects to mention that the housing GSEs must comply with very detailed
affordable housing goals for low- and moderate- income housing, housing located in central
cities, rural and other underserved areas, and housing for very-low income families and low-
income families in low-income areas. The final rules on these housing goals took up 159 pages
of very fine print in the Federal Register. Financial institutions across the nation complain
loudly about the requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act. Yet the CRA is nothing
compared to the affordable housing requirements imposed on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The article neglects to mention that the two housing GSEs may also be the only private
sector firms that have an entire agency, the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Översight,
established to look over their shoulders to make sure they are operated in a safe and sound
manner. The Office imposes special requirements on them and has the ability to oversee their
operations and request data in ways that no other federal entity imposes on any other firm in the
financial services sector.
And finally the article neglects to mention that no other firms in the financial services
sectors have significant proportions of their boards of directors appointed by the President of the
United States, instead of elected by their shareholders. There are not a lot of other firms that are
anxious to give up such a large proportion of their boards to public sector appointees.

Mr. Chairman, I do not want to leave the impression that the housing GSEs are perfect. I
think we can and should be pushing them to do more. I believe they have paid too much
attention to our largest cities and high growth areas and not enough attention to neglected areas
like Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Data I have seen from 1994 and 1995 indicate that both companies are substantially
underserving my Congressional District and areas around it. While the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
MSA has a little more than one-quarter of one-percent of the U.S. population, and nearly three-
tenths of one-percent of the owner-occupied housing in the United States, it is receiving only a
little more than one-tenth of one-percent of the housing GSEs business, or roughly one-third to
one-half of what it should receive.
I also believe that as two of our nation's foremost advocates for housing, they should be
doing more with their intellectual and technical knowledge to promote the job growth and
economic development which is an essential precondition in many areas to the development of
affordable housing History has shown us that if we can develop good paying, stable jobs,
housing will follow, and, conversely, when job opportunities are lost, housing deteriorates.
I know that we are all jealous, as Mr. Glassman is, of the housing GSEs generous salary
structures. That makes it even more amazing that someone would criticize an individual who,
like Mr. Raines, would voluntarily forsake a seven-figure salary in order to return to public
service for only 5% of his previous salary.
Finally, I also want to note that the Subcommittee has received complaints about atleast
one GSEs performance as a landlord of multi-family housing in New York City and Hartford and
hopes to work with them to resolve these concerns.
Mr. Chairman, I look forward to working with you, HUD, the Office of Federal Housing
Enterprise Oversight, and the two housing GSEs to improve the performance of both Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac. But whatever complaints I have, they should be put in the broader context that
the housing GSEs, at no cost to U.S. taxpayers, have built the strongest housing market in the
world. As a result of their operations American families, no matter where they are located, have
access to lower cost home mortgages than anyone else in the free world. This system has served
our nation very well in good economic times and in bad, and we should not tinker with it lightly.
