Mike Johanns: “I would love to start a dialogue with you in just a general way about these issues.”

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I appreciate the fact that you have the Agricultural Advisory Committee up and running. Thank you for that.

I will continue to push this legislation, but many of its provisions are things that HUD has the flexibility to implement on its own.

It is Congress who will create the next housing finance system and that the next housing finance system is not the conservatorship of the FHFA.
