GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED ENTERPRISES
This chapter contains descriptions of the data on the Government-
sponsored enterprises listed below. These enterprises were established
and chartered by the Federal Government for public policy purposes. They
are not included in the Federal Budget because they are private
companies, and their securities are not backed by the full faith and
credit of the Federal Government. However, because of their public
purpose, detailed statements of financial condition are presented, to
the extent such information is available, on a basis that is as
consistent as practicable with the basis for the budget data of
Government agencies. These statements are not reviewed by the President;
they are presented as submitted by the enterprises.

The Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) is a
Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) in the housing finance market. In
fall 2003, and again on April 7 and 13, 2005, the Secretaries of the
Departments of Housing and Urban Development and the Treasury announced
a proposal to strengthen regulation of all the housing GSEs, including
Fannie Mae.
As a housing GSE, Fannie Mae is a Federally chartered, privately
owned company with a public mission to provide stability and to increase
the liquidity of the residential mortgage market and to help increase
the availability of mortgage credit to low- and moderate-income families
and in underserved areas. Fannie Mae engages primarily in two forms of
business: investing in portfolios of residential mortgages and
guaranteeing residential mortgage securities.
Through a Federal charter, the Federal Government has equipped
Fannie Mae with certain advantages over wholly private firms in carrying
out these activities. These include an exemption from State and local
taxes (except real property taxes), and an exemption of its debt and
mortgage securities from Securities and Exchange Commission registration
requirements. An additional advantage is that the Secretary of the
Treasury may purchase and hold up to $2.25 billion of securities issued
by Fannie Mae under terms and conditions and at prices determined by the
Secretary to be appropriate. Securities guaranteed and debt issued by
Fannie Mae are solely the corporation's obligations and are not backed
by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. The common stock of
the corporation is owned by the public, is fully transferable, and
trades on the New York, Midwest, and Pacific stock exchanges.
Fannie Mae was established in 1938 to assist private markets in
providing a steady supply of funds for housing. Fannie Mae was
originally a subsidiary of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and
was permitted to purchase only loans insured by the Federal Housing
Administration (FHA). In 1954, Fannie Mae was restructured as a mixed
ownership (part government, part private) corporation. Legislation
directed the sale of the Government's remaining interest in Fannie Mae
in 1968 and completed the transformation to private shareholder
ownership in 1970. Using the proceeds from the sale of subordinated
debentures, Fannie Mae paid the Treasury $216 million for the
Government's preferred stock, which was retired, and for the Treasury's
interest in the corporation's earned surplus. As a result, the
corporation was taken off the Federal Budget.
In 1992, the Congress reaffirmed and clarified Fannie Mae's role in
the housing finance system through charter act amendments included in
the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of
1992 (Act). Fannie Mae's charter purposes, as amended by the Act, are:
``to provide stability in the secondary market for residential
mortgages; respond appropriately to the private capital market; provide
ongoing assistance to the secondary market for residential mortgages
(including activities relating to mortgages on housing for low- and
moderate-income families involving a reasonable economic return that may
be less than the return earned on other activities); and promote access
to mortgage credit throughout the Nation (including central cities,
rural areas, and underserved areas) by increasing the liquidity of
mortgage investments and improving the distribution of investment
capital for residential mortgage financing.'' For additional discussion
and analyses of Fannie Mae, please see the Analytical Perspectives
volume of the Budget documents.

According to accounting practices for private corporations, the
mortgages in the pools of loans supporting the mortgage-backed
securities are considered to be owned by the holders of these
securities. Consequently, on the books of the Federal National Mortgage
Association (Fannie Mae), these mortgages are not considered assets and
the securities outstanding are not considered liabilities. However, the
concepts of the budget of the U.S. Government consider these mortgages
and mortgage-backed securities to be assets and liabilities,
respectively, of Fannie Mae. For the purposes of this document,
therefore, they are presented as assets and liabilities in the
accompanying schedules. On the schedule of Status of Direct Loans for
mortgage-backed securities, the items labeled ``New loans'' and
``Recoveries: Repayments and prepayments'' are budgetary terms. However,
from Fannie Mae's perspective, these items are ``Amounts issued'' and
``Amounts passed through to the holders of securities'', respectively.
Financial data for Fannie Mae is not presented here because Fannie
Mae announced in December 2004 that it would have to restate financial
results for 2001-2004. The restatement is not likely to be completed
prior to the second half of calendar year 2006.

The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) is a
Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) in the housing finance market. In
fall 2003, and again on April 7 and 13, 2005, the Secretaries of the
Departments of Housing and Urban Development and the Treasury announced
a proposal to strengthen regulation of all the housing GSEs, including
Freddie Mac.
As a housing GSE, Freddie Mac is a Federally-charted, shareholder-
owned, private company with a public mission to provide stability and
increase the liquidity of the residential mortgage market, and to help
increase the availability of mortgage credit to low- and moderate-income
families and in underserved areas. Freddie Mac engages primarily in two
forms of business: investing in portfolios of residential mortgages and
guaranteeing residential mortgage securities.
Through a Federal charter, the Federal Government has equipped
Freddie Mac with certain advantages over wholly private firms in
carrying out these activities. These advantages include an exemption
from State and local taxes (except real property taxes), and an
exemption for its debt and mortgage securities from Securities and
Exchange Commission registration requirements. An additional advantage
is that the Secretary of the Treasury may purchase and hold up to $2.25
billion of securities issued by Freddie Mac under terms and conditions
and at prices determined by the Secretary to be appropriate. Securities
guaranteed and debt issued by Freddie Mac are explicitly not backed by
the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. The common stock of
the corporation is owned by private shareholders, is fully transferable,
and trades on the New York and Pacific stock exchanges.
Freddie Mac was established in 1970 under the Emergency Home Finance
Act. The Congress chartered Freddie Mac to
[[Page 1231]]
provide mortgage lenders with an organized national secondary market
enabling them to manage their conventional mortgage portfolio more
effectively and gain indirect access to a ready source of additional
funds to meet new demands for mortgages. Freddie Mac serves as a conduit
facilitating the flow of investment dollars from the capital markets to
mortgage lenders, and ultimately, to homebuyers.
The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of
1989 (FIRREA) significantly changed the corporate governance of Freddie
Mac. The company's three member Board of Directors, which had
corresponded with the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, was replaced with an
eighteen member Board of Directors. In addition, FIRREA converted
Freddie Mac's 60 million shares of non-voting, senior participating
preferred stock into voting common stock.
While financial data for 2004 is presented here, Freddie Mac
announced on November 8, 2005 that it would reduce net income for the
first half of calendar year 2005 and expects to release full-year 2005
results by March 2006. For additional discussion and analyses of Freddie
Mac, please see the Analytical Perspectives volume of the Budget
documents.

The Federal Home Loan Bank System is a Government-sponsored
enterprise (GSE) in the housing finance market. In fall 2003, and again
on April 7 and 13, 2005, the Secretaries of the Departments of Housing
and Urban Development and the Treasury announced a proposal to
strengthen regulation of all the housing GSEs, including the Federal
Home Loan Bank System.
The Federal Home Loan Banks were chartered by the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board under the authority of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932
(Act). The 12 Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks) are under the
supervision of the Federal Housing Finance Board (FHFB). The common
mission of FHLBanks is to facilitate the extension of credit through
their members. To accomplish this mission, FHLBanks make loans, called
advances, and provide other credit products and services to their 8,149
member commercial banks, savings associations, insurance companies, and
credit unions. Advances and letters of credit must be fully secured by
eligible collateral and long-term advances may be made only for the
purpose of providing funds for residential housing finance. However,
``community financial institutions'' may also use long-term advances to
finance small businesses, small farms, and small agribusinesses.
Additionally, specialized advance programs provide funds for community
reinvestment and affordable housing programs. All regulated financial
depositories and insurance companies engaged in residential housing
finance are eligible for membership. Each FHLBank operates in a
geographic district designated by the Board and together FHLBanks cover
all of the United States, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana
Islands.
The principal source of funds for the lending operation is the sale
of consolidated obligations to the public. The consolidated obligations
are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government as to principal or interest.
Other sources of lendable funds include members' deposits and capital.
Funds not immediately needed for advances to members are invested.
The capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Banks is owned entirely
by the members. Initially the U.S. Government purchased stock of the
banks in the amount of $125 million.
[[Page 1232]]
The banks had repurchased the Government's investment in full by mid-
1951.
The Act, as amended in 1989, requires each FHLBank to operate an
Affordable Housing Program (AHP). Each FHLBank provides subsidies in the
form of direct grants or below-market rate advances for members that use
the funds for qualifying affordable housing projects. FHLBank System
sets aside for its AHPs the greater of $100 million annually or 10
percent of net income. The Act, as amended in 1999, also requires that
FHLBanks contribute 20 percent of net earnings annually to assist in the
payment of interest on bonds issued by the Resolution Funding
Corporation.
In 2002, the Administration requested all GSEs, including FHLBanks,
to voluntarily register their equity securities with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). This voluntary registration is part of the
Administration's efforts to have GSEs undergo the same scrutiny process
as other corporate enterprises. FHFB adopted a rule on June 23, 2004
that requires each FHLBank to register a class of its stock. Only five
of the twelve FHLBanks compiled by 2005. (Freddie Mac has failed to
commence registration with SEC, in spite of its prior commitment to do
so. Fannie Mae registered with the SEC effective March 31, 2003, but
suspended filing financial statements with the SEC on November 15,
2004.)
Financial data for the FHLBanks are not presented here because
following discussions with the SEC, six of the twelve FHLBanks have
announced their intent to restate their 2001-2004 financial statements.
For additional discussion and analyses of the FHLBanks, please see
the Analytical Perspectives volume of the Budget.

FARM CREDIT SYSTEM
The Farm Credit System is a Government-sponsored enterprise that
provides privately financed credit to agricultural and rural
communities. The major functional entities of the system are: 1)
Agricultural Credit Bank (ACB); 2) Farm Credit Banks (FCB); and 3)
direct lender associations. The history and specific functions of the
bank entities are discussed after the presentation of financial
schedules for each bank entity. As part of the Farm Credit System (FCS),
these entities are regulated and examined by the Farm Credit
Administration (FCA), an independent Federal agency. The administrative
costs of FCA are financed by assessments of system institutions and the
Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation. System banks finance loans
from sales of bonds to the public and their own capital funds. The
system bonds issued by the banks are not guaranteed by the U.S.
Government either as to principal or interest. The bonds are backed by
an insurance fund, administered by the Farm Credit System Insurance
Corporation (FCSIC), an independent Federal agency that collects
insurance premiums from member banks to pay its administrative expenses
and fund insurance reserves. All of the banks' current operating
expenses are paid from their own income and do not require budgetary
resources from the Federal Government.
Agricultural Credit Bank
CoBank, ACB is headquartered in Denver, Colorado and serves eligible
cooperatives nationwide, and provides funding to Agricultural Credit
Associations (ACAs) in two of its regions. CoBank, ACB is the only
Agricultural Credit Bank (ACB) in the Farm Credit System. An ACB
operates under statutory authority that combines the authorities of a
Farm Credit Bank (FCB) and a Bank for Cooperatives (BC). In exercising
its FCB authority, CoBank, ACB's charter limits its lending to ACAs
located in the northeast and northwest regions of the country. As an
entity lending to Cooperatives, CoBank is independently chartered to
provide credit and related services nationwide to eligible cooperatives
primarily engaged in farm supply, grain, marketing, and processing
(including sugar and dairy). CoBank also makes loans to rural utilities,
including telecommunications companies and it provides international
loans for the financing of agricultural exports.

The Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 (1987 Act) required the Federal
Land Banks (FLBs) and Federal Intermediate Credit Banks (FICBs) to merge
into a Farm Credit Bank (FCB) in each of the 12 Farm Credit districts.
FCBs operate under statutory authority that combines the prior
authorities of a FLB and of a FICB. No merger occurred in the Jackson
district in 1988 because the FLB of Jackson was in receivership.
Pursuant to section 410(e) of the 1987 Act, as amended by the Farm
Credit Banks Safety and Soundness Act of 1992, FICB of Jackson merged
with FCB of Columbia on October 1, 1993. Mergers and consolidations of
FCBs across district lines that began in 1992 have continued to date. As
a result of this restructuring activity, 4 FCBs, headquartered in the
following cities, remain: AgFirst FCB, Columbia, South Carolina;
AgriBank FCB, St. Paul, Minnesota; U.S. AgBank, FCB, Wichita, Kansas;
and FCB of Texas, Austin, Texas.
FCBs serve as discount banks and as of October 1, 2005 provided
funds to 11 Federal Land Credit Associations (FLCA) and 85 Agricultural
Credit Associations (ACAs). These direct lender associations, in turn,
make short-term production loans and long-term real estate loans to
eligible farmers and ranchers, and their cooperatives; farm-related
business; and rural homeowners. FCBs can also lend to local financing
institutions, including commercial banks, as authorized by the Farm
Credit Act of 1971, as amended.
All the capital stock of FICB's, from organization in 1923 to
December 31, 1956, was held by the U.S. Government. The 1956 Act
provided a long-range plan for the eventual ownership of the credit
banks by the production credit associations and the gradual retirement
of the Government's investment in the banks. This retirement was
accomplished in full on December 31, 1968. The last of the Government
capital that had been invested in FLB's was repaid in 1947.

Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation
(Farmer Mac)
Farmer Mac is authorized under the Farm Credit Act of 1971 (Act), as
amended by the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987, to create a secondary
market for agricultural real estate and rural home mortgages. The Farmer
Mac title of the Act was amended by the 1990 farm bill to authorize
Farmer Mac to purchase, pool, and securitize the guaranteed portions of
farmer program, rural business, and community development loans
guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The
Farmer Mac title was further amended in 1991 to clarify Farmer Mac's
authority to issue debt obligations, provide for the establishment of
minimum capital standards, establish the Office of Secondary Market
Oversight at the Farm Credit Administration (FCA), and expand the
agency's rulemaking authority. Most recently, the Farm Credit System
Reform Act of 1996 (1996 Act) amended the Farmer Mac title to allow
Farmer Mac to purchase loans directly from lenders and to issue and
guarantee mortgage-backed securities without requiring that a minimum
cash reserve or subordinated (first loss) interest be maintained by
poolers as had been required under its original authority. The 1996 Act
expanded FCA's regulatory authority to include provisions for
establishing a conservatorship or receivership, if necessary, and
provided for increased core capital requirements at Farmer Mac phased in
over three years.
Farmer Mac operates through two core programs, ``Farmer Mac I,''
which involves mortgage loans secured by first liens on agricultural
real estate or rural housing (qualified loans), and ``Farmer Mac II,''
which involves the guaranteed portions of USDA guaranteed loans. Farmer
Mac operates by: i) purchasing, or committing to purchase, newly
originated or existing qualified loans or guaranteed portions from
lenders; ii) purchasing ``AgVantage'' bonds backed by qualified loans or
guaranteed portions from lenders; and iii) exchanging qualified loans or
guaranteed portions for guaranteed securities. Loans purchased by Farmer
Mac are aggregated into pools that back Farmer Mac guaranteed securities
which are held by Farmer Mac or sold into the capital markets. Farmer
Mac is intended to attract new capital for financing qualified loans and
guaranteed portions, foster increased long-term, fixed-rate lending, and
provide greater liquidity to agricultural and rural lenders.
Farmer Mac is governed by a 15 member Board of Directors. Ten Board
members are elected by stockholders, including five by the Farm Credit
System and five by commercial lenders. Five are appointed by the
President, subject to Senate confirmation.
Financing
Financial support and funding for Farmer Mac's operations come from
several sources: sale of common and preferred stock; issuance of debt
obligations; and net income from operations. Under procedures specified
in the Act, Farmer Mac may issue obligations to the U.S. Treasury in a
cumulative amount not to exceed $1.5 billion to fulfill its guarantee
obligations.
As of September 30, 2005, Farmer Mac's core capital exceeded
statutory requirements. Additionally, Farmer Mac's regulatory capital
(core capital plus the allowance for loan loses) exceeded the amount of
required regulatory capital as determined by the risk-based capital
rule, with which Farmer Mac was required to be in compliance on May 23,
2002.
Guarantees
Farmer Mac provides a guarantee of timely payment of principal and
interest on securities backed by qualified loans or pools of qualified
loans. These securities are not guaranteed by the United States, and are
not ``government securities''.
Farmer Mac is subject to reporting requirements under securities
laws and its guaranteed mortgage-backed securities are subject to
registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1933
and 1934 Securities Acts.
Regulation
Farmer Mac is Federally regulated by FCA, acting through its Office
of Secondary Market Oversight (OSMO). FCA is responsible for the
supervision, examination of, and rulemaking for Farmer Mac.
