Ed Royce: “I was one of those who supported the North Korean Framework Agreement. But... it was a blunder.”

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.

I would like to caution against making a bad situation worse.

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