        <text><![CDATA[ <p><b>Let the GSEs Pay Us Back Act of 2017</b></p> <p>This bill&nbsp;provides for the repayment of amounts previously borrowed by government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) from the Department of the Treasury.&nbsp;GSEs are financial services corporations created by Congress and include the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac).</p> <p>Under an existing Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, net income from the GSEs is directed to Treasury&nbsp;as a dividend but is not counted toward repayment of the GSEs' debt. The bill requires this agreement to be modified such that: (1) the amounts previously borrowed by the GSEs from Treasury shall be treated as a loan,&nbsp;in accordance with specified terms;&nbsp;and (2) payments&nbsp;made&nbsp;under the agreement by&nbsp;the GSEs to Treasury, including&nbsp;payments made prior to the agreement's modification,&nbsp;shall&nbsp;be treated as payments of principal and interest under&nbsp;such loan.</p>]]></text>
