WASHINGTON (MarketWath) -- A Senate banking panel passed a bill Thursday to wind down federally controlled mortgage-finance giants Fannie Mae FNMA -7.48% and Freddie Mac FMCC -8.03% , but with too little support to pressure the entire chamber to consider the measure. U.S. lawmakers on the Senate Banking Committee passed the measure in a 13-to-nine vote -- three votes fewer than analysts say would be needed to force the full Senate to vote on the legislation. Thursday's vote is a setback for the bill's authors, but they may continue to try to pick up additional support in coming weeks. Still, analysts say chances for passage this year are slim.
