  REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMITTEE ON BANKING, HOUSING, AND 
                URBAN AFFAIRS DURING THE 112TH CONGRESS

                                _______
                                

                 March 4, 2013.--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 112th Congress, the U.S. economy continued to 
slowly, but steadily recover from the costly and catastrophic 
financial crisis of 2008. The crisis was a stark reminder of 
the critical role the financial system plays in the economy, 
and the need for clear rules of the road and strong supervision 
to prevent economic disaster.
    To strengthen financial stability and promote economic 
growth, the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban 
Affairs worked diligently in 2011 and 2012 to oversee the 
implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 
Consumer Protection Act, which Congress enacted into law in 
2010. Other agenda items the Committee focused on included: 
monitoring efforts to stabilize the housing market, laying the 
foundation for housing finance reform, reauthorizing important 
programs within the Committee's jurisdiction to promote job 
creation and market certainty, crafting tough, new sanctions on 
Iran, and providing prompt consideration of the President's 
nominees.
    The Committee held 121 public hearings and executive 
sessions on these and other issues within the Committee's 
jurisdiction. The Committee also held over 135 bipartisan staff 
briefings with government and non-government representatives on 
a wide range of topics.
    The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection 
Act was the most sweeping financial reform legislation enacted 
in generations, and oversight of this new law was a primary 
focus. The Committee held over 30 oversight hearings to monitor 
the implementation process and ensure that regulators were 
following Congressional intent. The Committee heard testimony 
from a diverse set of witnesses that included regulators, 
administration officials, consumer advocates, market 
participants, and academic experts. These witnesses helped the 
Committee explore a number of issues including the end of ``too 
big to fail,'' enhanced consumer protections, transparency and 
accountability for exotic financial instruments, and the new 
advance warning system created through the Financial Stability 
Oversight Council.
    In addition to overseeing the implementation of the Wall 
Street Reform Act, the Committee also took an in-depth look at 
the housing market. This work included over 30 hearings on 
housing finance reform, the housing recovery and oversight of 
the conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The 
Committee heard from a broad array of parties including the 
Administration, borrowers, lenders, investors, builders, 
realtors, housing advocacy groups and others.
    Legislatively, the Committee acted on a number of proposals 
in the 112th Congress. Specifically, the Committee unanimously 
approved three long-term program reauthorizations for the 
National Flood Insurance Program, the Export-Import Bank of the 
United States, and the Transit title of the Surface 
Transportation bill. The Committee also unanimously approved 
the Iran Sanctions, Accountability and Human Rights Act.
    The first reauthorization bill the Committee passed was a 
bill to renew the charter of the Export-Import Bank. The 
Export-Import Bank is the official export credit agency of the 
United States and it assists in financing exports to 
international markets. For more than 77 years, the Export-
Import Bank has helped American businesses sell their goods and 
services abroad. At a time when the nation's unemployment rate 
remained elevated, the Export-Import Bank reauthorization 
enabled the Bank to continue to support U.S. exports. The 
Export-Import Bank supports almost 290,000 American jobs 
nationwide, at private companies of all sizes. President Obama 
signed the legislation into law in May 2012.
    The next bill the Committee approved was the 
reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance Program. 
Flooding is responsible for more damage and economic loss than 
any other type of natural disaster. It affects Americans in 
every state, but prior to the passage of this bill the flood 
insurance program needed 18 short-term extensions in four 
years. During that time, the program lapsed five times, for as 
long as 33 days, with detrimental effects on homeowners and the 
insurance and housing markets. In passing this bill, the 
Committee ended the uncertainty of month-to-month extensions 
for the families and businesses that rely on NFIP's $1.2 
trillion of coverage with a five year reauthorization. This 
bill was signed into law by President Obama in July 2012.
    The third reauthorization the Committee approved also 
helped support hundreds of thousands of American jobs. The 
transit portion of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st 
Century authorizes public transportation funding through the 
end of Fiscal Year 2014 and increases critical investments in 
the nation's aging transit infrastructure. It improves safety 
oversight and streamlines the construction of public 
transportation projects. The bill increases formula funding for 
all types of transit: additional urban and rural formula funds, 
new money for every state to address state of good repair needs 
and more money for transit on tribal lands. President Obama 
signed the NFIP and transportation measures into law in July 
2012.
    Recognizing the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran as one of 
the most pressing foreign policy challenges the country faces, 
the Committee took action to block other avenues for the 
Iranians to fund their illicit behavior and evade sanctions in 
passing the Iran Sanctions, Accountability and Human Rights Act 
of 2012. The sanctions contained in the bipartisan bill reach 
more deeply into Iran's energy sector than ever before, and 
build upon the sweeping banking sanctions Congress enacted two 
years earlier to reach to insurance, shipping, trade, finance 
and other sectors, targeting those who help to bolster Iranian 
government revenues which support their illicit nuclear 
activities. President Obama signed the bill into law in August 
2012.
    All four of these bills were supported by at least 75 
percent of Republican and Democratic Senators who voted on 
them, demonstrating the bipartisan work of the Committee. Other 
bipartisan bills advanced as well, notably bipartisan 
legislation on Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 
confidentiality and ATM disclosure requirements.
    In addition to the Committee's legislative successes, the 
Committee was prompt and prudent in considering the President's 
nominees to positions under the Committee's jurisdiction, 
steering many important nominations through to Senate 
confirmation. Many of the nominations sent to the Committee 
were especially important considering the economic challenges 
of the day.
    For example, the Committee acted on nominations for the top 
spots at the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the 
Currency, along with Securities and Exchange Commission & 
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation commissioners, Federal 
Reserve Board governors, the President's chief economic 
advisor, and other key officials at Treasury and HUD. 
Ultimately, the Committee favorably reported out and cleared 35 
of President Barack Obama's nominees in the 112th Congress, 
with the full Senate confirming 33 of these nominees.
  RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR THE COMMITTEE ON BANKING, HOUSING, AND URBAN 
                                AFFAIRS

the Committee or any report of the proceedings of such

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

This subsection shall apply only when the conditions of

    [g] Cordon rule. Whenever a bill or joint resolution 
repealing or amending any statute or part thereof shall be

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

    [e] Confidential testimony. No confidential testimony taken 
or confidential material presented at an executive session of

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

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

matter concerned is taken, the member may withdraw a proxy 
previously given. All proxies shall be kept in the files of the

 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

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 roll call 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 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.
