Announcement by the Acting Chairman
The Acting CHAIRMAN (during the vote). Members are advised there is 1
minute remaining in this vote.
{time} 1400
So the amendment was rejected.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of passage of H.R. 1427,
``The Federal Housing Finance Reform Act.''
I believe this legislation is one of the most cost-effective ways to
provide cities across the country with desperately needed federal
funding so they can construct or renovate housing stock for working
families on public housing waiting lists, homeless veterans, homeless
Katrina victims, and homeless working families.
I believe that passage of this legislation is a ``historic'' moment
in this Congress, and makes me proud to be a member of this body.
In Detroit, there are thousands of working individuals and families
living in homeless shelters or staying with friends and extended family
members because they cannot afford the skyrocketing costs of private
market housing.
We have a homeless shelter in Detroit where hundreds of veterans live
each year, and most are working minimum wage jobs, or work in low to
moderate wage employment.
It is a moral outrage that soldiers who have fought in wars and
served their country honorably come home to cities like Detroit, only
to find out that they cannot afford an apartment or a home.
This bill will help reduce these problems, and provide decent
affordable housing to more veterans and working families without
raising taxes.
It will also help victims of Katrina who are currently living in
hotels or homeless shelters in other cities to return to the Gulf
Coast, or remain where they are, because there will be expanded housing
opportunities due to passage of H.R. 1427.
Passage of ``The Federal Housing Finance Reform Act'' will provide
billions of dollars to cash-starved cities across the Nation to
successfully build new affordable housing units for working families by
utilizing existing non-profit housing developers, public housing
agencies, and for-profit housing developers.
Passage of H.R. 1427 will help hundreds of thousands of Americans
across this Nation who are currently on waiting lists for public
housing to be able to get out of homeless shelters and into homes or
apartments, since there will now be more federal funding for affordable
housing production.
If America is ever to be a great Nation, we must ensure that all
Americans, as a basic human right, have decent and affordable housing.
Passage of H.R. 1427 will get our Nation on the road to having a real
national affordable housing policy, which we currently do not have.
The United States, the wealthiest country in the world, shamefully
has one million homeless children, and over 40 percent of those living
in homeless shelters are working in jobs. Our current affordable
housing problem is building more homeless shelters where there is a
lack of affordable housing.
I ask this question Mr. Chairman. How many Members of Congress would
want to come home after a hard day's work, and sleep in a homeless
shelter? Probably nobody! We need affordable housing for all now.
I urge this body to pass H.R. 1427 with all deliberate speed.
Mr. WELDON of Florida. Mr. Chairman, while I believe that Government
Sponsored Enterprise, GSE, reform is absolutely necessary, I cannot
support H.R. 1427, the Federal Housing Finance Reform Act, in its
current form.
It is important for Congress to promote home-ownership for all
Americans by giving citizens access to affordable housing. However,
this bill, under the Affordable Housing Fund, AHF, section, requires
that GSEs set aside nearly $3 billion over the next 4 years into a
special fund. H.R. 1427 essentially represents a $3 billion tax on
those seeking to purchase homes. These new fees will simply be passed
along to those purchasing homes. I'm not sure how a $3 billion tax
increase is going to make homes more affordable. When given the
opportunity to ensure that these costs would not be passed along to
homeowners, supporters of the AHF voted against the amendment that
would have protected homeowners. Clearly, this is designed to be a
hidden tax on homebuyers.
This newly created AHF would make grants to states and Indian tribes,
which would then make grants to third-party housing-related entities.
H.R. 1427 fails to provide adequate oversight of these third-party
grantees and the funds could easily fall into the hands of politically
motivated groups. Also, while using grant money for lobbying or other
political activities is not permitted under the bill, there is nothing
preventing groups from displacing their other funds for these
activities while still receiving grant money. One such third party
group that stands to benefit financially from this new grant program is
ACORN. ACORN is notorious for partisan voter registration drives.
Allegations of voter fraud have plagued ACORN political activities in
Florida, Virginia, Ohio, Minnesota, New Mexico, Missouri, Michigan,
Colorado, Arkansas, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. Yet, the Democrats'
plan is to create a slush fund to funnel millions of dollars in grants
to ACORN and similar partisan groups, freeing up money for partisan
political activities.
Adding more layers of bureaucratic waste and pandering to left-
leaning groups will not help low-income buyers purchase the homes of
their dreams. While we need GSE reform, we should not be forced to sign
onto a $3 billion tax on homeowners. There are better, more financially
responsible ways to address affordable housing.
The Acting CHAIRMAN. The question is on the amendment in the nature
of a substitute, as amended.
The amendment in the nature of a substitute, as amended, was agreed
to.
The Acting CHAIRMAN. Under the rule, the Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Holden) having assumed the chair, Mr. Pastor, Acting Chairman of the
Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union, reported that
that Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R. 1427) to
reform the regulation of certain housing-related Government-sponsored
enterprises, and for other purposes, pursuant to House Resolution 404,
he reported the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted by the
Committee of the Whole.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is
ordered.
Is a separate vote demanded on any amendment to the amendment
reported from the Committee of the Whole?
Mr. WESTMORELAND. Mr. Speaker, I demand a separate vote on the
Neugebauer No. 4 amendment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is a separate vote demanded on any other
[[Page H5569]]
amendment to the amendment reported from the Committee of the Whole?
The Clerk will redesignate the amendment on which a separate vote has
been demanded.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Amendment No. 4 offered by Mr. Neugebauer:
Page 60, line 2, after ``posed'' insert ``to the
enterpises''.
Parliamentary Inquiry
Ms. BEAN. Mr. Speaker, I have a parliamentary inquiry.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman will state her inquiry.
Ms. BEAN. Mr. Speaker, is the gentleman from Georgia requesting a
recorded revote on the bipartisan Bean-Neugebauer amendment which
passed by voice vote last week?
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Does the gentlewoman have a proper
parliamentary inquiry?
Ms. BEAN. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just wanted to make sure this was
the bipartisan Bean-Neugebauer amendment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the amendment.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the ayes appeared to have it.
Recorded Vote
Mr. WESTMORELAND. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
A recorded vote was ordered.

Mr. GINGREY and Mr. KING of Iowa changed their vote from ``aye'' to
``no.''
Messrs. CONYERS, ROTHMAN and BLUMENAUER changed their vote from
``no'' to ``aye.''
So the amendment was agreed to.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the amendment in the
nature of a substitute, as amended.
The amendment in the nature of a substitute, as amended, was agreed
to.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the engrossment and third
reading of the bill.
The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was
read the third time.
Motion to Recommit Offered by Mr. Cantor
Mr. CANTOR. Mr. Speaker, I offer a motion to recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
Mr. CANTOR. Yes, in its current form.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mr. Cantor moves to recommit the bill H.R. 1427 to the
Committee on Financial Services with instructions that the
Committee report the same back to the House promptly with the
following amendments:
Strike line 16 on page 127 and all that follows through
line 10 on page 128 and insert the following: ``shall be to
offset the costs of providing assistance to individuals and
families to increase home ownership for all Americans,
especially extremely low- and very low-income families.''
Strike line 23 on page 129 and all that follows through
line 7 on page 156, and insert the following:
``(c) Use of Fund Amounts.--The Federal receipts deposited
into the affordable housing fund established under subsection
(a) shall be available only to offset the cost, for budgetary
purposes, of provisions of law enacted after the date of the
enactment of the Federal Housing Finance Reform Act of 2007
that--
``(1) provide for the enhancement and continuation of
affordable home ownership opportunities related to items such
as--
``(A) the construction and rehabilitation of housing in
Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, or Alabama destroyed or
damaged in connection with Hurricane Katrina or Rita of 2005;
``(B) reducing the cost of mortgage insurance for
residential mortgages; or
``(C) reducing the cost of financing residences for
veterans;
``(2) provide affordable home ownership opportunities
through provisions such as provisions that expand existing
law to reduce the cost of mortgage interest for borrowers
under residential mortgages;
``(3) provide affordable home ownership opportunities
through provisions such as provisions that expand existing
law related to the construction and rehabilitation of housing
in
[[Page H5570]]
Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, or Alabama destroyed or
damaged in connection with Hurricane Katrina or Rita of 2005
to also include construction and rehabilitation of housing
destroyed or damaged in connection with other domestic
natural disasters, including tornadoes occurring in Alabama,
Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas and wildfires
occurring in California, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, and
New Mexico in 2007; and
``(4) provide affordable home ownership opportunities
through provisions such as provisions that expand existing
law to reduce the cost of homeowners insurance.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Virginia is recognized
for 5 minutes.
Mr. CANTOR. Mr. Speaker, for many hard-working families, the American
Dream and homeownership are one and the same, but lately that dream
appears increasingly elusive in the face of ballooning costs of
homeowners' insurance and rising interest rates on home mortgages.
Nowhere is this discomforting trend more profound than in States
ravaged by natural disasters.
Today we have the ability to help. Congress can enhance the way the
law treats mortgage interest, giving American families more buying
power when shopping for their dream home. We can also improve how it
treats mortgage insurance, assisting those low-income families
generally required to pay this insurance to afford better housing.
The bill, Mr. Speaker, in its current form, however, has a glaring
weakness. When it comes to disaster relief, it only names the victims
of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which would help families stricken by
hurricanes in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. There are countless
Americans beset by the recent tornadoes and wildfires in other parts of
the country. Their plight is indistinguishable from those families of
hurricane-plagued regions. A disaster befalls an area, home insurance
rates skyrocket, and, together with the rise in mortgage interest
rates, the American dream of owning a home is dashed.
This motion to recommit sets aside funds for families in districts in
Kansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas.
Mr. Speaker, in the past, the majority has described motions to
recommit promptly rather than forthwith as an attempt to kill the
underlying bill. In this case, this is categorically incorrect. The
minority has in effect been prevented by the Democrat rule from
offering this language as a forthwith amendment.
As the majority knows, the housing fund in this bill, section 139 on
page 127, is a violation of rule XXI, clause 4, because it is
appropriating on an authorizing bill. The Democrat rule waives this
rule for the underlying bill, but does not provide a waiver for the
motion to recommit or any amendments. Therefore, the minority was given
no other option than to offer a motion to recommit promptly and comply
with House rules.
Mr. Speaker, this motion is a genuine effort to improve this bill
with the language we can all agree on ought to be included. In its
current form, the bill is far too vague.
Starting brand new government grant programs to help fund more
bureaucracies is not the way to go. Instead, policies that have already
worked to create record levels of homeownership is preferable. This
recommit inserts new language to offset the cost of subsequent
legislation that would enhance, continue and expand policies promoting
homeownership, such as the construction and rehabilitation of housing
destroyed by natural disasters and wildfires. The motion would provide
for programs to enhance, continue, expand policies promoting home
ownership by reducing the cost of mortgage insurance, reducing the cost
of financing residences for veterans, reducing the cost of mortgage
interest and reducing the costs of homeowner insurance.
Mr. Speaker, while the underlying bill does provide that Affordable
Housing Fund money can be used to help victims of Hurricanes Katrina
and Rita, it is incumbent upon us to recognize the plight of families
suffering from natural disasters recently affecting other areas of the
country. Families in Kansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Alabama,
Georgia, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Louisiana
deserve no less.
I urge my colleagues to support this motion to recommit.
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the
motion to recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Massachusetts is
recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the minority
for its persistence and tenacity, if nothing else. This will be the
11th time the House has been asked to vote to kill the Affordable
Housing Fund since last Thursday. They have, as I have said, taken as
their model apparently the TV pitchmen of yore. They have got a machine
that slices and dices and cuts and shreds and chops and whatever. They
have offered 10 amendments to kill the Affordable Housing Fund. This is
number 11.
Mr. CANTOR. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. No, I will not yield, and I will explain
why.
{time} 1430
We had an open rule. Any amendment that they wanted to offer could
have been offered as long as it met the deadline, which was a very long
deadline. Now we have ambush legislation again. There have been 10
tries at this.
Mr. Speaker, if they really wanted this to be debated thoughtfully,
it would have been an amendment. It wouldn't have been held back for 5
and 5 with us having only a chance to read it now. It is just one more
attempt to kill the bill.
Mr. CANTOR. Will the gentleman yield?
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. No, I will not yield, Mr. Speaker. I will
not be part of self-ambush. I will say to the gentleman from Virginia,
offer an amendment when you have the right to offer an amendment, and
we will debate the amendment at length as we debated many of these
amendments.
But to play this kind of ambush game, do not expect cooperation.
The gentleman may say, well, it is unfair. We got the last word. That
was his choice. The gentleman could have offered the amendment in a
fashion that would have allowed a broad debate on it. But they chose to
have the benefit of the ambush, but not pay the price of it.
This kills the affordable housing fund. What it says is none of this
money goes for rental housing.
By the way, they list a lot of the States. They say ``including.'' It
can go to any State; so does the bill as it now stands. The bill as it
now stands allows the money to be spent in any State. And the key is
this: This amendment, if you take it at face value, I would advise
that, but if you do, it kills rental housing.
Now, homeownership is a good thing, but as we have seen from the
subprime problem, if you ignore people who should be renting, if you
try to shoehorn everybody into homeownership and don't build a single
unit of affordable rental housing, and that is what this amendment
says, this amendment says none of the funds go to build rental housing,
it is all homeownership. Homeownership is useful, but it is not the
exclusive answer and we have a problem of people being pushed into it.
Then this says ``promptly.'' Promptly means maybe not, as we know in
parliamentary language. We got some explanation why it couldn't be
``forthwith.''
There are some people who don't like this bill. They don't have the
votes to kill it. They have tried every which way to do that.
Mr. CANTOR. Will the gentleman yield on that point?
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, will you instruct the
gentleman? When it becomes clear that I am not going to yield, this
becomes, it seems to me, somewhat unparliamentary.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Massachusetts controls
the time.
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Mr. Speaker, we debated a long time on Thursday. I had to have my
cast rewrapped because I was waving my arm so much. I did become
unwrapped, I will tell the House.
But the point is this: We had ample opportunity to debate this with
give-and-take. But you cannot, Mr. Speaker, it seems to me, expect to
come in at the last minute with a very tough amendment that kills the
housing fund
[[Page H5571]]
that we have already voted on 10 times because it says no rental
housing can be built at all under this, says ``promptly'' rather than
``forthwith'' for no good reason except they don't like the bill and
don't have the votes to kill it, and then says you wouldn't give me a
chance to go back and forth.
Yes, the rule did. The rule said that this amendment, if it was a
thoughtful attempt to amend the bill, could have been offered as an
amendment. Instead, it is held back. No one gets to see it until
literally a minute before the debate starts. It is a 3-page amendment.
It kills the affordable housing in a very limited debate.
To put this forward under a procedure which Members know limits
debate to 5 minutes and 5 minutes, and then to complain that there
isn't enough back and forth, Mr. Speaker, that is the equivalent of
accusing the Three Stooges of being silly, and I hope the recommital is
defeated.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is
ordered on the motion to recommit.
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the noes appeared to have it.
Recorded Vote
Mr. CANTOR. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
A recorded vote was ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair
will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on
the question of passage.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 182,
noes 232, not voting 18, as follows:
