Senate Cmte okays FedGov takeover of home mortgages

Newsmax-- April 2, 2004


Legislation giving regulators the power to take over mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac if they became insolvent narrowly won approval Thursday in a partisan vote by a Senate panel. Prospects for Senate passage appeared dim, however.

The White House had urged such a provision for putting the two government-sponsored companies into receivership, as part of legislation tightening the reins on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and creating a new federal regulator to oversee them. The Republican-written bill was adopted by the Senate Banking Committee, 12-9, mostly along party lines.

The debate over receivership was kindled in February when Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan warned that Fannie Mae and smaller rival Freddie Mac could pose a threat to the U.S. financial system if their ability to assume new debt isn't restrained.
