                    Announcement by the Acting Chair

  The Acting CHAIR (during the vote). There are 2 minutes remaining in 
this vote.

                              {time}  1738

  So the amendment was agreed to.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  The Acting CHAIR. Under the rule, the Committee rises.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Ross) having assumed the chair, Mr. Holden, 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. 1106) to 
prevent mortgage foreclosures and enhance mortgage credit availability, 
pursuant to House Resolution 190, he reported the bill back to the 
House with sundry amendments 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 reported from the 
Committee of the Whole? If not, the Chair will put them en gros.
  The amendments were agreed to.
  Mr. LUCAS. Mr. Chair, I rise today in strong opposition to this 
legislation.
  Many of my colleagues today have made excellent points about the real 
effect of this legislation. This legislation will most certainly not 
help those who it is designed to help. It will drive up the cost of 
loans, limit the number of loans that can be made, raise interest 
rates, and increase opportunities for abuse in the bankruptcy system.
  I want to focus the House today on another important problem that has 
not been discussed: how the bankruptcy laws and the accounting rules 
and treatments combine to do potentially substantial and lasting damage 
to the financial system.
  Under existing accounting rules, any bankruptcy loss may be 
considered an indication of impairment. The term that is used by 
accountants is ``other than temporarily impaired'', or ``OTTI''. I want 
to make sure that the House understands the consequences of this 
problem in the real world. Even if a company took a small bankruptcy 
loss on one of the residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) that 
it owns, the amount of loss that would be recognized in that company's 
income statement is a full writedown to deeply depressed market values, 
not just the amount deemed to be a bankruptcy. Any loss of principal, 
current or future, requires this treatment no matter what term is used 
to describe the loss. If a judge can adjust principal, then a 
significant detrimental impact to the company will automatically 
follow.
  The House must clearly understand that the losses which would be 
recognized by financial institutions in this situation are far greater 
than the amount of the bankruptcy losses. Any RMBS holder will have to 
record these losses in the same manner, and so the threat of bankruptcy 
``cramdowns'' casts a huge shadow across the entire financial services 
industry. For example, if a company owns five million dollars 
($5,000,000) in RMBS with a current market value of $2,500,000, and 
there is a bankruptcy loss per the judge of fifty thousand dollars 
($50,000 economic loss) to the preferred RMBS tranche, the required 
financial statement loss under existing accounting rules would be two 
million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000). In this example, 
accounting rules require booking the financial statement loss at fifty 
times the actual economic loss.
  This is a stark, but true, statement of the horrific impact that 
existing accounting rules are likely to have on the financial services 
industry in the event this legislation becomes law. It would only take 
a few of these kinds of losses to destroy the current year operating 
positions of any company and greatly impact its overall capital 
position.
  This means that the cramdown legislation the House considers today 
carries with it a virus that threatens to consume significant parts of 
the financial services industry, particularly any company that is a 
significant holder of RMBS. The Majority either does not understand, or 
has chosen not to deal with, this significant and looming problem. 
Likewise, there is a lack of understanding about the major role that 
accounting rules and treatments play in it. I earnestly hope that our 
colleagues in the other body will address this issue squarely, and 
understand that cramdown without accounting reform and strict 
limitations on the discretion of bankruptcy judges has the potential to 
create significant and unanticipated collateral damage to our financial 
system, as well as loss of credibility with financial services industry 
customers and widespread negative ratings from all rating agencies.
  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. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the 
desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. I am.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to 
recommit.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mr. Price of Georgia moves to recommit the bill, H.R. 1106, 
     to the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on 
     Financial Services with instructions to report the same back 
     to the House forthwith with the following amendment:

       At the end of the bill, add the following new title:

TITLE III--LIMITATIONS ON USE OF FUNDS FOR PREVENTION AND MITIGATION OF 
                         MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES

     SEC. 301. LIMITATIONS ON USE OF FUNDS FOR PREVENTION AND 
                   MITIGATION OF MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES.

       (a) Prohibitions on Use of TARP and Other Foreclosure 
     Mitigation Assistance.--
       (1) TARP funds.--Notwithstanding any provision of title I 
     of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, no funds 
     made available to the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to 
     section 115(a)(3) of such Act and used by the Secretary in 
     any manner for the prevention or mitigation of foreclosures 
     on mortgages on residential properties, may be used for any 
     assistance or relief in violation of the prohibitions under 
     paragraph (3).
       (2) Assistance under this act.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of this Act or any amendment made by this Act, no 
     relief or assistance may be provided under this Act, the 
     amendments made by this Act, or any authority or program 
     established or amended by this Act, in violation of the 
     prohibitions under paragraph (3).
       (3) Prohibitions.--Relief or assistance in violation of the 
     prohibitions under this paragraph is relief or assistance as 
     follows:
       (A) Misrepresentation.--Relief or assistance to, for, or on 
     behalf of any mortgagor who obtained the mortgage with 
     respect to which the assistance or relief is provided by 
     material misrepresentation, false pretenses, or actual fraud.
       (B) Failure to follow underwriting standards.--Relief or 
     assistance to, for, or on behalf of any lender or mortgagee 
     that failed to comply with underwriting standards for 
     residential mortgages applicable to such lender or mortgagee.
       (C) Incentive payments for borrowers or servicers.--Relief 
     or assistance in the form of providing any payment, discount, 
     reduction, or other thing of value to any mortgagor, 
     mortgagee, or servicer of a mortgage as an incentive to 
     engage or participate in

[[Page 6559]]

     any activity or program for the prevention or mitigation of 
     foreclosure on the mortgage, or other mortgage modification 
     or workout, including any of the following incentive payments 
     under the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan of the 
     Secretary of the Treasury:
       (i) The incentives under such Plan referred to as the ``Pay 
     for Success Incentives to Servicers'', which provide 
     servicers with an up-front fee of $1,000 for each eligible 
     modification meeting guidelines under the Plan and monthly 
     payments in an amount up to $1,000 each year for three years, 
     as long as the borrower stays current on the mortgage.
       (ii) The incentives under such Plan referred to as 
     ``Incentives to Help Borrowers Stay Current'', which provide 
     a monthly balance reduction payment that goes toward reducing 
     the principal balance of the mortgage loan, in an amount of 
     up to $1,000 for each year for five years, as long as a 
     borrower stays current on the mortgage.
       (iii) The incentives under such Plan referred to as 
     ``Reaching Borrowers Early'', which provide a payment of $500 
     to servicers, and a payment of $1,500 to mortgage holders, if 
     they modify at-risk loans before the borrower falls behind.
       (b) Requirement for Submission of TARP Foreclosure 
     Mitigation Plan to Congress.--Notwithstanding any provision 
     of title I of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 
     2008, none of the funds otherwise available to the Secretary 
     of the Treasury pursuant to section 115(a)(3) of such Act may 
     be used by the Secretary for the prevention or mitigation of 
     foreclosures on mortgages on residential properties, unless--
       (1) a comprehensive plan for the use of the funds has been 
     submitted to the Congress by the Secretary and the 90-day 
     period that begins upon such submission has expired; and
       (2) the plan provides for equitable treatment of all 
     mortgagors, and does not limit assistance only to mortgagors 
     that are delinquent, or in danger of defaulting, on their 
     mortgages.

  Mr. PRICE of Georgia (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask 
unanimous consent that the reading of the motion to recommit be 
suspended.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Georgia?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Georgia is recognized for 
5 minutes.
  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, at a time when the government is 
going to unprecedented lengths to stabilize the banking system, this 
legislation--the underlying legislation--is shortsighted, untimely, 
unfair, and counterproductive. While some might see cramdown as a quick 
fix, in reality, this legislation will have a costly impact on 
generations to come.
  Ranking Member Smith of the Judiciary Committee sent a thoughtful 
letter to the administration, raising concerns that this bill will lead 
to significant taxpayer liability for Federal mortgage guaranties by 
redistributing wealth from responsible taxpayers.
  The letter that Ranking Member Smith sent to the administration 
raised concerns about the underlying bill leading to significant 
taxpayer liability for Federal mortgage guaranties by redistributing 
wealth from responsible taxpayers to irresponsible borrowers and 
lenders by the hoarding by banks of hundreds of billions of dollars in 
capital while undermining the efforts that had been undertaken by the 
government in September to stabilize the financial markets.
  Finally, additional constriction in the home lending market: Markets 
are very stressed right now. The homeownership market is leading the 
way. There is more uncertainty than confidence. Many in America are 
having real financial problems, and we understand that. This bill only 
increases that uncertainty. If any Member truly desires fairness in the 
system of homeownership, then this motion to recommit will give them 
that assurance.
  The underlying bill leaves the door open to reward irresponsible 
actors, and our motion to recommit ensures that that doesn't happen. It 
would prohibit taxpayer assistance to any borrowers who misrepresented 
or lied about their income on their mortgage applications. It would 
prohibit taxpayer assistance to any lender who failed to follow proper 
underwriting standards. It would prohibit taxpayer funds from being 
used as incentives to lenders to rework loans for irresponsible 
borrowers, in essence, bribes from the taxpayer to pay mortgages. It 
would prohibit taxpayer funds from being used unless the President 
submits a new plan that provides equitable treatment of all mortgages.

                              {time}  1745

  His current plan does not do that. Contrary to the words from 
President Obama, his plan rewards irresponsible behavior and continues 
a reckless course.
  What we're asking for instead is a plan that's fair to everyone, a 
plan that provides equitable treatment for everyone. All homeowners are 
struggling right now, and this plan in the underlying bill rewards bad 
behavior.
  The key aspects of the Obama administration's housing bailout 
proposal rewards irresponsible borrowers and lenders at the expense of 
the more than 90 percent of American families still making their 
mortgage payments on time. This is fundamentally unfair, and the 
American people know it.
  Mr. Speaker, our motion to recommit will ensure that unscrupulous and 
irresponsible actors will not be bailed out by the overwhelming 
majority of working families that have lived responsibly and within 
their means.
  I urge adoption of the motion to recommit.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I rise to oppose the motion 
to recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Massachusetts is 
recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, before turning to this 
motion to recommit, I have a serious subject I want to address.
  A number of Members have been concerned about the increased 
assessment that's hit community banks from the FDIC, in part because of 
failures to which they did not contribute. Today, the Chair of the 
FDIC, Sheila Bair, has written to our Senate counterparts to say that 
in effect, if we go ahead with the increase in FDIC borrowing 
authority--some of that is in this bill; it would be improved on in the 
Senate in ways that we agree with--but if she gets the increased 
borrowing authority, a process that begins in this bill, she will 
substantially reduce that assessment on the community banks.
  So voting for this bill will be an important step towards reducing 
the assessment of the community banks.
  I insert this letter into the Record at this point.

                                                   Federal Deposit


                                        Insurance Corporation,

                                    Washington, DC, March 5, 2009.
     Hon. Christopher J. Dodd,
     Chairman, Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs 
         U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: I am writing to express my support for 
     the Depositor Protection Act of 2009, legislation to increase 
     the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's borrowing 
     authority with the Treasury Department if losses from failed 
     financial institutions exceed the industry funded resources 
     of the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF).
       As you know, the FDIC's borrowing authority was set in 1991 
     at $30 billion and has not been raised since that date. 
     Assets in the banking industry have tripled since 1991, from 
     $4.5 trillion to $13.6 trillion. As I indicated in my 
     previous letter of January 26, 2009, the FDIC believes it is 
     prudent to adjust the statutory line of credit 
     proportionately to leave no doubt that the FDIC can 
     immediately access the necessary resources to resolve failing 
     banks and provide timely protection to insured depositors.
       The legislation would include important additional 
     authority for the FDIC and would rationalize the FDIC's 
     current borrowing authority. Under current law, the FDIC has 
     the authority to borrow up to $30 billion from Treasury to 
     cover losses incurred in insuring deposits up to $100,000. In 
     addition, when Congress temporarily increased deposit 
     insurance coverage to $250,000, it temporarily lifted all 
     limits on the FDIC's borrowing authority to implement the new 
     deposit insurance obligation.
       The bill would permanently increase the FDIC's authority to 
     borrow from Treasury from $30 billion to $100 billion. In 
     addition the bill also would temporarily authorize an 
     increase in that borrowing authority above $100 billion (but 
     not to exceed $500 billion) based on a process that would 
     require the concurrence of the FDIC, the Federal Reserve 
     Board, and the Treasury Department, in consultation with the 
     President.
       Because the existing borrowing authority for losses from 
     bank failures provides a thin margin of error, it was 
     necessary for the FDIC recently to impose increased 
     assessments on the banking industry. These assessments will 
     have a significant impact on insured financial institutions, 
     particularly

[[Page 6560]]

     during a financial crisis and recession when banks must be a 
     critical source of credit to the economy.
       The size of the special assessment reflected the FDIC's 
     responsibility to maintain adequate resources to cover 
     unforeseen losses. Increased borrowing authority, however, 
     would give the FDIC flexibility to reduce the size of the 
     recent special assessment, while still maintaining 
     assessments at a level that supports the DIF with industry 
     funding. While the industry would still pay assessments to 
     the DIF to cover projected losses and rebuild the Fund over 
     time, a lower special assessment would mitigate the impact on 
     banks at a time when they need to serve their communities and 
     revitalize the economy.
       In conclusion, the Depositor Protection Act would leave no 
     doubt that the FDIC will have the resources necessary to 
     address future contingencies and seamlessly fulfill the 
     government's commitment to protect insured depositors against 
     loss. I strongly support this legislation and look forward to 
     working with you to enact it into law.
           Sincerely,
                                                   Sheila C. Bair.

  Now, as to the motion to recommit, the gentleman from Georgia 
slightly under-described his amendment. Understatement is not his usual 
metier, but he alluded to it today. He said it would prevent, as I 
recall page 3, section C, help for any irresponsible borrower. No. It 
prevents mortgage assistance to any borrower, responsible or not, no 
matter what the cause. This proposal simply makes it impossible to 
carry out any mortgage relief.
  One of the things that the President said was we would go to the 
servicers who now can get a payment for foreclosure. And we would say 
under this bill, we would authorize a payment if they did a 
modification instead of a foreclosure. This amendment says no, that 
can't happen.
  We say here that we will work with the borrowers to reduce the amount 
that they are entitled to receive under the contract on the grounds 
that they would be better off avoiding foreclosure. It would have the 
Federal Government work with them in this. This would make it 
impossible.
  The gentleman from Georgia kind of made clear his general position 
when he began by denouncing the part of this bill that deals with 
bankruptcy. Now, of course, this amendment, as he's offered it, doesn't 
deal with bankruptcy. That's why I'm here instead of my colleague from 
Michigan. But the purpose is clear. His view is that there should not 
be a Federal program to try to diminish mortgage foreclosures.
  Here is the point. Diminution of mortgage foreclosures currently has 
a compassionate aspect. Not surprisingly, that has less appeal in some 
parts of this House than others. But there is also an enlightened self-
interest to it. Irresponsible subprime mortgage lending and borrowing 
and underwriting and securitizing a whole lot of guilty parties was the 
biggest single cause of the financial crisis we are in. The continued 
cascade of foreclosures and consequent deterioration of asset prices is 
the major reason why we have continued economic deterioration.
  There is broad agreement that until we begin to stem the tide of 
foreclosures--we can't stop it all, and we're not trying to stop it 
all; not everybody who's being foreclosed upon can be helped or should 
be helped--but until we do a great deal to reduce this, you will not 
get an end to the current crisis.
  So this is a direct shot. Now, I know I do not attribute this to the 
gentleman from Georgia, but there is, for instance, a noted commentator 
on public affairs, Mr. Limbaugh, who has a certain number of fans on 
that side--and if they aren't fans, they're afraid to say so. He has 
asked that the President fail. Well, the effect of this amendment would 
be giving Mr. Limbaugh his wish because if you cripple the effort to 
reduce mortgage foreclosure, you cripple the effort to get out of the 
economic slump we are in.
  So I understand what some people would like to see happen. They do 
not want President Obama and a Democratic Congress to get any credit 
for helping to reduce our economic situation. I understand that, but 
they're taking a lot of innocent people hostage. They have a right to 
be very partisan and go after us. But don't do it at the expense of an 
awful lot of Americans who would lose their homes and of an economic 
situation that is deteriorating.
  So I reiterate that defeating this motion and passing this bill will 
be an important step towards, among other things, reducing those FDIC 
assessments--and we have the word of Sheila Bair--and it will be a 
responsible way of trying to reduce mortgage foreclosure. It's to the 
benefit of the individual, to the benefit of the communities that are 
suffering from this, it's to the benefit of other homeowners whose 
property values have deteriorated by foreclosure; and at last, I must 
concede to my Republican friends, it might help the President in his 
effort to improve the economy. I apologize for that, but I hope you can 
put up with it.
