U.S. Senate panel sets Thursday vote on housing bill

WASHINGTON, May 12 (Reuters) - The Senate Banking Committee plans to vote on a U.S. housing finance reform bill on Thursday in what could be the last effort this year to move forward with legislation to wind down mortgage firms Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Sen. Tim Johnson, the Democrat who chairs the committee, and the panel's top Republican, Sen. Mike Crapo, had previously delayed a scheduled vote to build more support for the plan, which would create an industry-financed backstop for mortgages.
Johnson has said he and Crapo have the votes to push their bill through the committee, but sources have said an effort to secure more support from Democrats has fallen short. Because of that, it appears unlikely that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will allow the measure to come up for a vote on the Senate floor.
The committee said in a statement on Monday that the panel would meet to consider the legislation on Thursday at 10 a.m. (1400 GMT).

Fannie & Freddy: Mnuchin Reveals New Clues  but uncertain next #laliasia.finance Feb. 27, 2017 8:49 AM ET | 82 comments |   About:   Fannie Mae (FNMA) ,  FMCC Orange Peel Investments Summary Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin made several comments about Fannie and Freddie on Thursday morning. Though recap and release may not happen until late summer, early fall, we continue to believe it is the likely scenario. Mnuchin's comments about liquidity in the 30 year mortgage market and getting Fannie and Freddie out of government control were bullish for the long term. By Parke Shall with Thom Lachenmann We think that new revelations made by Steven Mnuchin and missed by most of the financial analysts reveal new clues to the future of Fannie ( OTCQB:FNMA ) and Freddie ( OTCQB:FMCC ).  We think comments he made last week in interviews not only confirm that Fannie and Freddie won't be under government control much longer  ??????????
