  REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMITTEE ON BANKING, HOUSING, AND 
                URBAN AFFAIRS DURING THE 111TH CONGRESS

                                _______
                                

                 March 29, 2011.--Ordered to be printed

                                _______
                                

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

                              R E P O R T

                              INTRODUCTION

    In the midst of the historic economic crisis that befell 
the Nation in late 2008, the Congress and the Bush 
Administration took aggressive and historic action to avert a 
second Great Depression. In the 111th Congress the Committee on 
Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs took on the historic 
challenge of rewriting the laws governing financial markets to 
protect our economy from the failures and abuses that fueled 
the crisis. Simultaneously, the Committee continued to address 
concerns about trade, transportation, housing, and 
international affairs, in addition to its oversight 
responsibilities and its consideration of nominations as the 
new Administration took shape under President Obama. The 111th 
Congress proved to be a productive and unprecedented work 
period for the Committee. Several key pieces of legislation 
were passed, most notably the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 
Consumer Protection Act, which completely overhauled the system 
of financial regulation and created the first federal entity 
dedicated to consumer protection.
    The legislative accomplishments of the Committee were built 
upon an exhaustive hearing schedule. The Committee had begun 
hearings on the growing housing crisis early in the 110th 
Congress. Those hearings continued and expanded well into the 
111th Congress. The Committee has sought to ensure that the 
nation's regulatory structure was better suited to monitor a 
financial services industry that had evolved far beyond the 
rules written to regulate it more than 70 years ago. To that 
end, the Committee held nearly 40 hearings in the 111th 
Congress to identify the problems which led to the crisis and 
to develop solutions to prevent the recurrence of such 
problems. That work culminated with the passage of the 
Restoring America's Financial Stability Act out of Committee in 
April 2010, which was signed into law as the Dodd-Frank Wall 
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in July 2010. The law 
addresses major sources of systemic risk for banking 
regulators, brings the shadow banking system under the 
regulatory umbrella, put an end to ``too big to fail'' 
bailouts, and established the Bureau of Consumer Financial 
Protection.
    Putting an end to consumer abuses which helped fuel the 
crisis was a major priority for the Committee. Hearings in both 
the 110th and 111th Congresses underscored the premise that a 
strong financial system is built upon a foundation of sound 
consumer protections. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 
Consumer Protection Act strengthens mortgage requirements to 
improve borrower protections and prevent consumers from 
borrowing more than they can reasonably be expected to repay. 
This legislation also requires lenders to verify that a 
borrower has the ability to repay the loan and tasks the 
Federal Reserve to regulate and exert its oversight to prevent 
originators from steering consumers to loans they cannot 
afford. In addition, the measure establishes clear appraisal 
standards that seek to prevent anyone from attempting to 
influence an appraiser to artificially inflate housing prices 
and makes resources available to state regulators to oversee 
appraisers and appraisal management companies.
    Also, the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and 
Disclosure Act passed out of Committee in March 2009 and became 
law in May of that year, leveled the playing field between 
consumers and card issuers by targeting truly unfair, 
deceptive, and abusive practices by card companies.
    The Committee also continued its work to relieve the impact 
of the housing crisis on homeowners, communities, and the 
economy through both oversight hearings on loan modifications 
and abusive mortgage servicing practices and through new 
legislation. The Helping Families Save Their Homes Act was 
signed into law to help avert mortgage foreclosures and improve 
mortgage credit availability.
    The Committee also dedicated considerable effort to passing 
legislation such as the Public Transportation Extension Act; 
the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and 
Divestment Act; and the Defense Production Act Reauthorization 
of 2009. Combined, these measures combat financial crimes, 
strengthen sanctions against Iran, improve federal transit 
programs, and promote national defense.
    In holding more than 100 meetings and passing several major 
pieces of legislation into law, the Committee on Banking, 
Housing and Urban Affairs in the 111th Congress has taken many 
steps to rein in irresponsible behavior by financial 
institutions, protect consumers, and set the course for a new 
generation of more responsible and effective banking and 
financial services regulation in America.

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

via electronic mail or paper mail of the date, time, and place 
of such session and has been furnished a copy of the measure to 
be considered, in a searchable electronic format, at least 3

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 
measure under consideration. Such a motion to strike a section 
of the measure under consideration by the Committee or 
Subcommittee shall not be amendable. This section may be waived 
by a majority of the members of the Committee or Subcommittee 
voting, or by agreement of the Chairman and Ranking Member. 
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 
a Subcommittee unless the Senate or the full Committee has 
specifically authorized such investigation.
    [d] Hearings. No hearing of a Subcommittee shall be 
scheduled outside the District of Columbia without prior 
consultation with the Chairman and then only by agreement 
between the Chairman of the Subcommittee and the Ranking Member 
of the Subcommittee or by a majority vote of the Subcommittee.
    [e] Confidential testimony. No confidential testimony taken 
or confidential material presented at an executive session of 
the Subcommittee or any report of the proceedings of such 
executive session shall be made public, either in whole or in 
part or by way of summary, unless specifically authorized by 
the Chairman of the Subcommittee and the Ranking Member of the 
Subcommittee, or by a majority vote of the Subcommittee.
    [f] Interrogation of witnesses. Subcommittee interrogation 
of a witness shall be conducted only by members of the 
Subcommittee or such professional staff as is authorized by the 
Chairman or the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee.
    [g] Special meetings. If at least three members of a 
Subcommittee desire that a special meeting of the Subcommittee 
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.
    [d] Subpoena of witnesses. Witnesses may be subpoenaed by 
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
