Ed Royce: “This legislation enjoys strong bipartisan support, and I urge my colleagues to support the measure.”

I plan to introduce legislation with two objectives: The first, to explicitly prohibit Fannie and Freddie from engaging in lobbying activities while in conservatorship.

In the decade leading up to the financial crisis of 2008, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac spent nearly $200 million on lobbying activities and campaign contributions.

Clearly there is strong bipartisan support for well-resourced, broad engagement in Africa.

It has been an honor, Mr. Yoho, to work with you.
