                  Announcement by the Acting Chairman

  The Acting CHAIRMAN (during the vote). Members are advised there is 1 
minute remaining in this vote.

                              {time}  1356

  So the amendment was rejected.

               Amendment No. 1 Offered by Mr. Neugebauer

  The Acting CHAIRMAN. The unfinished business is the demand for a 
recorded vote on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. 
Neugebauer) on which further proceedings were postponed and on which 
the noes prevailed by voice vote.
  The Clerk will redesignate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 1 offered by Mr. Neugebauer:
       Page 128, strike lines 18 through 20 and insert the 
     following: ``amount equal to the lesser of (A) 1.2 basis 
     points for each dollar of the average total mortgage 
     portfolio of the enterprise during the preceding year, (B) 
     the number of basis points for each dollar of the average 
     total mortgage portfolio of the enterprise during the 
     preceding year, which when applied to such average portfolios 
     of both enterprises, results in an aggregate allocation under 
     this paragraph by the enterprises for the year of 
     $520,000,000, or (C) a lesser amount, as determined by the 
     Director, if the Director determines for such year that 
     allocation of the lesser of the amounts under subparagraphs 
     (A) and (B) poses a safety or soundness concern to the 
     enterprise.''.

                  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

[[Page 13509]]

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.
  Ms. McCOLLUM of Minnesota. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of 
H.R. 1427, the Federal Housing Finance Reform Act, and commend Chairman 
Barney Frank for his hard work to develop a comprehensive, bipartisan 
government-sponsored enterprise, GSE, reform bill.
  This legislation will restore accountability by strengthening federal 
oversight of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the 12 Federal Home Loan 
Banks. It will consolidate regulation of the housing GSEs under the 
Federal Housing Finance Agency, a new, independent agency. The Federal 
Housing Finance Agency will be authorized to adjust the enterprises' 
risk-based capitol and even limit the size of their portfolios for a 
limited time, if necessary to ensure their safety and soundness.
  H.R. 1427 also establishes an Affordable Housing Fund, which will be 
financed by a required contribution from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac of 
only 0.012 percent of their total mortgage portfolio each year. The 
fund will annually contribute approximately $500 million to the 
construction, maintenance, and preservation of affordable housing.
  The Affordable Housing Fund is an important step toward ensuring 
access to safe, affordable housing for all Americans, regardless of 
socioeconomic status or geographic region. In its first year, the funds 
will be used entirely to build much-needed homes throughout the region 
devastated by Hurricane Katrina. In subsequent years, the grants from 
the fund will be administered by states, and Minnesota will receive an 
estimated $6.5 million each year to build affordable housing for the 
most vulnerable families.
  I applaud Chairman Frank for bringing forward a comprehensive and 
fair bill. I am particularly pleased that in contrast to last years' 
efforts, H.R. 1427 does not include language restricting faith-based 
and nonprofit organizations from receiving affordable housing funds for 
participation in nonpartisan voter registration and get-out-the-vote 
activities. Congress should put the needs of American families before 
political ideology, and this bill does just that.
  The Federal Housing Finance Reform Act has the support of the Bush 
Administration, as well as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, numerous other 
financial institutions, lenders, realtors, housing advocates, and many 
other housing organizations.
  Access to safe and stable housing is a basic need and one that no 
individual or family should ever be denied. I urge my colleagues to 
join me in voting for H.R. 1427.
  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 
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?

[[Page 13510]]

  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.

                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 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.''.


[[Page 13511]]


  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 are 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 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''

[[Page 13512]]

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.

  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated for:
  Ms. WATERS. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 396, had I been present I 
would have voted ``aye.'' I returned to the Subcommittee on Crime, 
Terrorism and Homeland Security to present my bill on ``Stop AIDS in 
Prison.''
  Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 396, I missed the 
vote on passage. I was chairing a briefing in the Intelligence 
Committee with NSA. I missed the vote by 30 seconds. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yes.''
