PERSONAL EXPLANATION
Mr. GRIFFITH. Mr. Chair, on rollcall Nos. 371, 372, and 373, I was
unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes.''
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment in the nature of a
substitute, as amended.
The amendment was agreed to.
The Acting CHAIR. Under the rule, the Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Serrano) having assumed the chair, Mr. Cuellar, Acting Chair 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. 5297) to
create the Small Business Lending Fund Program to direct the Secretary
of the Treasury to make capital investments in eligible institutions in
order to increase the availability of credit for small businesses, and
for other purposes, and, pursuant to House Resolution 1436, reported
the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted in the Committee
of the Whole.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is
ordered.
The question is on the amendment in the nature of a substitute, as
amended.
The amendment 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
Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
Mr. NEUGEBAUER. In its current form, yes.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mr. Neugebauer moves to recommit the bill H.R. 5297 to the
Committee on Financial Services with instructions to report
the same back to the House forthwith with the following
amendment:
At the end of section 4(b), add the following new
paragraph:
(4) Secretary certification to sigtarp.--
(A) In general.--Each time the Secretary makes a purchase
(including a commitment to purchase) or a modification of a
purchase under the Program, the Secretary shall certify to
the SIGTARP that the Secretary is acting solely on the basis
of economic fundamentals and not because of any political
considerations.
(B) SIGTARP defined.--For purposes of this paragraph, the
term ``SIGTARP'' means the Special Inspector General for the
Troubled Asset Relief Program, established under section 121
of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008.
At the end of section 8, add the following new subsection:
(c) TARP Special Inspector General Oversight.--Section
121(c)(1) of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2009
(12 U.S.C. 5231(c)(1)), is amended--
(1) by striking ``section 101, and'' and inserting
``section 101,''; and
(2) by inserting before ``including'' the following: ``and
activities under section 4, 5, or 6 of the Small Business
Lending Fund Act of 2010,''.
Mr. NEUGEBAUER (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous
consent that the reading of the motion be dispensed with.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from Texas?
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. NEUGEBAUER. This motion makes two important changes to this bill.
First, it puts a Special Inspector General for TARP in charge of the
oversight of the new Small Business Lending Fund. Remember, this fund
is TARP II or TARP, Junior, as it's referred to. Second, the motion
requires the Treasury to certify that the decisions about which banks
receive funds are based on merit and not political consideration.
This new lending fund follows the model of TARP, minus the stronger
oversight, and puts another $30 billion in banks. The motion to
recommit would make the Special Inspector General for TARP, or SIGTARP,
responsible for oversight of this new program.
In a letter to Chairman Frank, Neil Barofsky, the Special Inspector
General for TARP, said, ``I believe it is absolutely critical to
protect the taxpayers that the Office of SIGTARP be permitted to
continue its oversight in what is essentially an extension of TARP's
Capital Purchase Program. Accordingly, I write to recommend that
Congress provide SIGTARP oversight for the SBLF in any resulting
legislation.''
Just yesterday, SIGTARP announced an indictment in a $1.9 billion
fraud case involving the failed Colonial Bank. Part of the fraud case
involves efforts to obtain $533 million in taxpayer money from TARP.
Due to the efforts of SIGTARP agents working with law enforcement, the
taxpayers were protected.
The underlying legislation puts a deputy of the Treasury Inspector
General in charge of oversight. The Treasury Inspector General was not
among the many agencies and law enforcement that worked on this $1.9
million fraud involving TARP.
SIGTARP has considerable experience overseeing a program in which the
government purchases preferred stocks in banks. If we create a new TARP
program that will also purchase shares in banks, why should we not use
the same oversight agency that has a proven track record and expertise?
Failing to take advantage of SIGTARP's unique expertise is an extreme
service to the taxpayers, exposing them to a greater likelihood of
waste, fraud, and abuse.
{time} 1330
Is the majority afraid to use this experienced and effective
regulator simply because the word ``TARP'' is part of its title?
The taxpayers deserve to be protected when Treasury makes investments
with their money. Unfortunately, we have some examples of TARP
investments that have raised serious questions about how the investment
decisions were made.
When One United bank received TARP funds in 2008, questions came up
about whether the bank's political connections helped with its TARP
approval. Prior to receiving funds, One United had lost capital and was
under scrutiny by regulators for its lending practices
More recently, a number of Members of Congress and others have
questioned whether political pressure was involved in the decision by
large banks to raise capital for the troubled Shore Bank in Chicago.
Shore Bank has applied for TARP funds, in addition to the $140 million
in assistance from other banks, to head off a takeover by the FDIC.
Shore Bank also has ties to the Obama administration.
We do not have all the answers on how these decisions were made for
the banks, but we need to be sure that these types of questions are not
raised about other banks.
The motion to recommit says Treasury must certify that each decision
to provide funds is made solely on economic fundamentals and not
because of any political consideration. This is the type of decision-
making that taxpayers always expect and deserve. When their $30 billion
is being put on the line, we need to do all we can to protect their
investment. The underlying bill falls short to do that.
The motion to recommit improves taxpayer protections by putting the
experience of SIGTARP over this new TARP program and requiring that
investment decisions be made on economic fundamentals, not political
connections. If you're going to have TARP II, why wouldn't you use the
same regulator that you had for TARP I?
I urge my colleagues to stand with the taxpayers and support this
motion to recommit.
With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. I rise to oppose the motion.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, let's be very clear. This is
just a preliminary chance to vote ``no.''
For reasons that I don't understand, my Republican colleagues are
opposed to a program in which voluntarily the Federal Government makes
funds available to community banks so that, if they want to
participate, they can lend it to small businesses. Maybe it is the fear
that it might succeed and diminish their issues that leads them to
oppose it. They have been unable to oppose it outright on its merits,
so here's what they want to do. They want to say it's really the TARP
program, and
[[Page H4617]]
in fact, the gentleman from Texas said that. He said, if you're going
to create a second TARP program, put the TARP inspector in charge.
That's true. If you're going to fly to the Moon, pack a big lunch. If
shmif.
The fact is that we don't create a TARP program. This is classic
bootstrapping. It's not a TARP program. It's very different than the
TARP program in a number of ways. The community banks want to
participate in it. They don't want to participate in another TARP
program. So, to kill it, they are inaccurately characterizing it TARP
and then talking about another Inspector General from SIGTARP. This is
not the problem of what the Secretary's being asked to say. It is to
try desperately to get a little TARP rubbed off on it so they can
defeat, by that way, something they can't defeat on the merits.
Let me now yield to the gentleman from Kansas (Mr. Moore) who is the
chair of the oversight subcommittee of our committee and a man with a
great reputation for integrity in enforcing taxpayer rights.
Mr. MOORE of Kansas. I thank the chairman for yielding.
To Members of this House, I want to say that the bill, as written,
says the Inspector General of the Department of the Treasury shall
conduct, supervise, and coordinate audits and investigations of the
purchase and commitments to purchase a preferred stock and other
financial instruments under the program. That is directly from the
bill. We should not add SIGTARP.
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. I reclaim my time to say, the gentleman
from Texas began with a great, surprising revelation. A bureaucrat, the
Inspector General of TARP, wants to expand his authority. I'm surprised
that there were not gasps of wonderment in the House. We have an
Inspector General here. They can do it, and the SIGTARP Inspector
General, because that program is about to go out of existence, decided
to expand his authority. However, it goes beyond in one sense. It says
that the Secretary must certify that he is acting solely on the basis
of economic fundamentals and not because of any political
consideration.
So here's the offer I make, with the support of the majority leader.
Within a few days, we will bring a suspension to the floor that will
require the Secretary to so certify under oath--we'll go you one better
in this effort--and the Secretary will be required to certify under
oath to the Inspector General of the Treasury, and if Members want, we
can have them certify under oath to the Government Accountability
Office, and if there are other people you want them to certify to,
we'll be glad to do that.
But the sole purpose of invoking the Inspector General of TARP here,
with his collaboration, so he will continue to have a job, is to
discredit the program. If you want this program to go forward, you vote
against this. We will come forward with further reinforcement of the
oath taking--we'll even make it oath taking, but please, if you want to
vote ``no,'' vote ``no'' I would say to the Members, Mr. Speaker, but
don't fall for this name game. This is an effort to call it TARP. It's
your TARP; no, it's not. It's the Peewee Herman school of legislating;
let's call each other names without dealing with the substance. Let's
not, when we're dealing with a serious issue of trying to get money to
community banks to help our smaller businesses, fall for that nonsense.
Ms. VELAZQUEZ. Would the gentleman from Massachusetts yield?
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. I yield to the gentlewoman.
Ms. VELAZQUEZ. Mr. Chairman, I didn't know that the other side liked
TARP so much that you want to keep it going. We have put safeguards,
penalties, restrictions, oversight in place. This is another
bureaucratic layer that will hinder the needs of small businesses to
access capital.
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. The gentlewoman is right.
What our friends on the other side have, for political reasons, is a
severe case of TARP separation envy. It's going away. They haven't had
their President tell us to do it. They are going to miss it, but we're
not going to deal with that in this bill and kill the bill. I hope the
recommittal 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. NEUGEBAUER. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
A recorded vote was ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 and clause 9 of rule
XX, this 15-minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by
5-minute votes on passage, if ordered, and motion to suspend the rules
on H.J. Res. 86.
