We will have a very active Committee this year.
Some issues are new, some are old.
This is the year the Export-Import Bank and the National Defense Production Act are up for reauthorization. As a Committee we also will be looking at Federal Home Loan Bank reform, credit union issues, public housing reform, federal disaster relief and financial modernization. On the latter, let me say that all of us must be mindful that the bottom line is what advances the public interest, rather than whether one industrial grouping or another is advantaged.
