REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMITTEE ON BANKING, HOUSING, AND
URBAN AFFAIRS DURING THE 110TH CONGRESS

_______

May 6, 2009.--Ordered to be printed

_______

Mr. Dodd, from the Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs,
submitted the following

R E P O R T

INTRODUCTION

The 110th Congress was an historic period for the Committee
on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, as the United States
confronted unprecedented turmoil in its credit markets and
continued challenges to American national security. The
Committee responded decisively, holding 75 hearings and
markups, and initiating a Congressional response to a
burgeoning economic crisis, including holding the first
Congressional hearing to examine the subprime mortgage market
in February 2007.
Legislation approved by the Committee addressed an array of
critical issues, including preservation of home ownership,
rental housing, reform of the housing government-sponsored
enterprises, student lending, currency manipulation, terrorism
insurance, foreign investment, transit security, and sanctions
against Sudan and Iran. Moreover, at the conclusion of the
Congress, the Committee played a crucial role in the
development and oversight of the Emergency Economic
Stabilization Act. The Committee incorporated comprehensive
accountability measures into this bill designed to provide a
framework for the federal government's efforts to contain the
economic crisis, as well as provisions to ensure that
substantial resources would be devoted to preventing home
foreclosures. The Committee also conducted hearings and was
engaged in drafting legislation considered by the Senate to
address the severe financial stresses facing the nation's
domestic automobile industry.
Additionally, through its oversight, the Committee played a
constructive role in reforming credit card marketing and
billing practices--by encouraging new rules by the Federal
Reserve Board, and new practices by some of the country's
largest credit card issuers. Similarly, the Committee's
aggressive role in highlighting the damage caused by predatory
mortgage lending practices helped to spur the Federal Reserve
to promulgate rules under the 1994 Homeowners Equity Protection
Act. Further description of and data on the Committee's
activities during the 110th Congress follows.

RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR THE COMMITTEE ON BANKING, HOUSING, AND URBAN
AFFAIRS

[Adopted in executive session, January 31, 2007]

Rule 1. Regular Meeting Date for Committee
The regular meeting day for the Committee to transact its
business shall be the last Tuesday in each month that the
Senate is in Session; except that if the Committee has met at
any time during the month prior to the last Tuesday of the
month, the regular meeting of the Committee may be canceled at
the discretion of the Chairman.
Rule 2. Committee
[a] Investigations. No investigation shall be initiated by
the Committee unless the Senate, or the full Committee, or the
Chairman and Ranking Member have specifically authorized such
investigation.
[b] Hearings. No hearing of the Committee shall be
scheduled outside the District of Columbia except by agreement
between the Chairman of the Committee and the Ranking Member of
the Committee or by a majority vote of the Committee.
[c] Confidential testimony. No confidential testimony taken
or confidential material presented at an executive session of
the Committee or any report of the proceedings of such

Subcommittee, as the case may be, has been notified in writing
of the date, time, and place of such session and has been
furnished a copy of the measure to be considered at least 3
business days prior to the commencement of such session, or [2]
the Chairman of the Committee or Subcommittee determines that
exigent circumstances exist requiring that the session be held

[f] Prior notice of first degree amendments. It shall not
be in order for the Committee or a Subcommittee to consider any

consideration by the Committee or Subcommittee unless fifty
written copies of such amendment have been delivered to the
office of the Committee at least 2 business days prior to the
meeting. It shall be in order, without prior notice, for a
Senator to offer a motion to strike a single section of any

This subsection shall apply only when the conditions of
subsection [e][1] have been met.
[g] Cordon rule. Whenever a bill or joint resolution
repealing or amending any statute or part thereof shall be
before the Committee or Subcommittee, from initial
consideration in hearings through final consideration, the
Clerk shall place before each member of the Committee or
Subcommittee a print of the statute or the part or section
thereof to be amended or repealed showing by stricken-through
type, the part or parts to be omitted, and in italics, the
matter proposed to be added. In addition, whenever a member of
the Committee or Subcommittee offers an amendment to a bill or
joint resolution under consideration, those amendments shall be
presented to the Committee or Subcommittee in a like form,
showing by typographical devices the effect of the proposed
amendment on existing law. The requirements of this subsection
may be waived when, in the opinion of the Committee or
Subcommittee Chairman, it is necessary to expedite the business
of the Committee or Subcommittee.
Rule 3. Subcommittees
[a] Authorization for. A Subcommittee of the Committee may
be authorized only by the action of a majority of the
Committee.
[b] Membership. No member may be a member of more than
three Subcommittees and no member may chair more than one
Subcommittee. No member will receive assignment to a second
Subcommittee until, in order of seniority, all members of the
Committee have chosen assignments to one Subcommittee, and no
member shall receive assignment to a third Subcommittee until,
in order of seniority, all members have chosen assignments to
two Subcommittees.
[c] Investigations. No investigation shall be initiated by

[g] Special meetings. If at least three members of a

be called by the Chairman of the Subcommittee, those members
may file in the offices of the Committee their written request
to the Chairman of the Subcommittee for that special meeting.
Immediately upon the filing of the request, the Clerk of the
Committee shall notify the Chairman of the Subcommittee of the
filing of the request. If, within 3 calendar days after the
filing of the request, the Chairman of the Subcommittee does
not call the requested special meeting, to be held within 7
calendar days after the filing of the request, a majority of
the members of the Subcommittee may file in the offices of the
Committee their written notice that a special meeting of the
Subcommittee will be held, specifying the date and hour of that
special meeting. The Subcommittee shall meet on that date and
hour. Immediately upon the filing of the notice, the Clerk of
the Committee shall notify all members of the Subcommittee that
such special meeting will be held and inform them of its date
and hour. If the Chairman of the Subcommittee is not present at
any regular or special meeting of the Subcommittee, the Ranking
Member of the majority party on the Subcommittee who is present
shall preside at that meeting.
[h] Voting. No measure or matter shall be recommended from
a Subcommittee to the Committee unless a majority of the
Subcommittee are actually present. The vote of the Subcommittee
to recommend a measure or matter to the Committee shall require
the concurrence of a majority of the members of the
Subcommittee voting. On Subcommittee matters other than a vote
to recommend a measure or matter to the Committee no record
vote shall be taken unless a majority of the Subcommittee is
actually present. Any absent member of a Subcommittee may
affirmatively request that his or her vote to recommend a
measure or matter to the Committee or his vote on any such
other matters on which a record vote is taken, be cast by
proxy. The proxy shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently
clear to identify the subject matter and to inform the
Subcommittee as to how the member wishes his or her vote to be
recorded thereon. By written notice to the Chairman of the
Subcommittee any time before the record vote on the measure or
matter concerned is taken, the member may withdraw a proxy
previously given. All proxies shall be kept in the files of the
Committee.

Rule 4. Witnesses

[a] Filing of statements. Any witness appearing before the
Committee or Subcommittee [including any witness representing a
Government agency] must file with the Committee or Subcommittee
[24 hours preceding his or her appearance] 75 copies of his or
her statement to the Committee or Subcommittee, and the
statement must include a brief summary of the testimony. In the
event that the witness fails to file a written statement and
brief summary in accordance with this rule, the Chairman of the
Committee or Subcommittee has the discretion to deny the
witness the privilege of testifying before the Committee or
Subcommittee until the witness has properly complied with the
rule.
[b] Length of statements. Written statements properly filed
with the Committee or Subcommittee may be as lengthy as the
witness desires and may contain such documents or other addenda
as the witness feels is necessary to present properly his or
her views to the Committee or Subcommittee. The brief summary
included in the statement must be no more than 3 pages long. It
shall be left to the discretion of the Chairman of the
Committee or Subcommittee as to what portion of the documents
presented to the Committee or Subcommittee shall be published
in the printed transcript of the hearings.
[c] Ten-minute duration. Oral statements of witnesses shall
be based upon their filed statements but shall be limited to 10
minutes duration. This period may be limited or extended at the
discretion of the Chairman presiding at the hearings.

the Chairman of the Committee or a Subcommittee with the
agreement of the Ranking Member of the Committee or
Subcommittee or by a majority vote of the Committee or
Subcommittee.
[e] Counsel permitted. Any witness subpoenaed by the
Committee or Subcommittee to a public or executive hearing may
be accompanied by counsel of his or her own choosing who shall
be permitted, while the witness is testifying, to advise him or
her of his or her legal rights.
[f] Expenses of witnesses. No witness shall be reimbursed
for his or her appearance at a public or executive hearing
before the Committee or Subcommittee unless such reimbursement
is agreed to by the Chairman and Ranking Member of the
Committee.
[g] Limits of questions. Questioning of a witness by
members shall be limited to 5 minutes duration when 5 or more
members are present and 10 minutes duration when less than 5
members are present, except that if a member is unable to
finish his or her questioning in this period, he or she may be
permitted further questions of the witness after all members
have been given an opportunity to question the witness.
Additional opportunity to question a witness shall be
limited to a duration of 5 minutes until all members have been
given the opportunity of questioning the witness for a second
time. This 5-minute period per member will be continued until
all members have exhausted their questions of the witness.

Rule 5. Voting

[a] Vote to report a measure or matter. No measure or
matter shall be reported from the Committee unless a majority
of the Committee is actually present. The vote of the Committee
to report a measure or matter shall require the concurrence of
a majority of the members of the Committee who are present.
Any absent member may affirmatively request that his or her
vote to report a matter be cast by proxy. The proxy shall be
sufficiently clear to identify the subject matter, and to
inform the Committee as to how the member wishes his vote to be
recorded thereon. By written notice to the Chairman any time
before the record vote on the measure or matter concerned is
taken, any member may withdraw a proxy previously given. All
proxies shall be kept in the files of the Committee, along with
the record of the rollcall vote of the members present and
voting, as an official record of the vote on the measure or
matter.
[b] Vote on matters other than to report a measure or
matter. On Committee matters other than a vote to report a
measure or matter, no record vote shall be taken unless a
majority of the Committee are actually present. On any such
other matter, a member of the Committee may request that his or
her vote may be cast by proxy. The proxy shall be in writing
and shall be sufficiently clear to identify the subject matter,
and to inform the Committee as to how the member wishes his or
her vote to be recorded thereon. By written notice to the
Chairman any time before the vote on such other matter is
taken, the member may withdraw a proxy previously given. All
proxies relating to such other matters shall be kept in the
files of the Committee.

Rule 6. Quorum

No executive session of the Committee or a Subcommittee
shall be called to order unless a majority of the Committee or
Subcommittee, as the case may be, are actually present. Unless
the Committee otherwise provides or is required by the Rules of
the Senate, one member shall constitute a quorum for the
receipt of evidence, the swearing in of witnesses, and the
taking of testimony.

Rule 7. Staff Present on Dais

Only members and the Clerk of the Committee shall be
permitted on the dais during public or executive hearings,
except that a member may have one staff person accompany him or
her during such public or executive hearing on the dais. If a
member desires a second staff person to accompany him or her on
the dais he or she must make a request to the Chairman for that
purpose.

commemorative coin bill or resolution before consideration by
