I wonder whether the gentleman from Mississippi heard the gentleman from Louisiana speak about the dismal job that the GSEs have done so far with regard to what I believe both of us agree should be their intention which is to provide for low and moderate-income housing... All this amendment does is this.

You are not doing a good job right now. We are going to focus your attention on it.
