President Reagan's address to the 43d Session of the United Nations General
Assembly in New York, New York . September 26, 1988. "Mr. Secretary-General,
there are new hopes for Cambodia, a nation whose freedom and independence we
seek just as avidly as we sought the freedom and independence of Afghanistan.
We urge the rapid removal of all Vietnamese troops ...."

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Invest in Democrats
Published by Lindsay Renick Mayer on July 16, 2008 5:27 PM
The federal government recently announced that it will come to the rescue of
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, two embattled mortgage buyers that for years have
pursued a lobbying strategy to get lawmakers on their side. Both companies have
poured money into lobbying and campaign contributions to federal candidates,
parties and committees as a general tactic, but they've also directed those
contributions strategically. In the 2006 election cycle, Fannie Mae was giving
53 percent of its total $1.3 million in contributions to Republicans, who
controlled Congress at that time. This cycle, with Democrats in control,
they've reversed course, giving the party 56 percent of their total $1.1
million in contributions. Similarly, Freddie Mac has given 53 percent of its
$555,700 in contributions to Democrats this cycle, compared to the 44 percent
it gave during 2006.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have also strategically given more contributions to
lawmakers currently sitting on committees that primarily regulate their
industry. Fifteen of the 25 lawmakers who have received the most from the two
companies combined since the 1990 election sit on either the House Financial
Services Committee; the Senate Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs Committee; or
the Senate Finance Committee. The others have seats on the powerful
Appropriations or Ways & Means committees, are members of the congressional
leadership or have run for president. Sen.Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) chairman of the
Senate banking committee, has received the most from Fannie and Freddie's PACs
and employees ($133,900 since 1989). Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.) has received
$65,500. Kanjorski chairs the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital
Markets, Insurance and Government-Sponsored Enterprises, and Freddie Mac and
Fannie Mae are government-sponsored
enterprises, or GSEs.
