SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Equity in Government Compensation 
Act of 2011''.

SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) the Federal National Mortgage Association (known as 
        Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation 
        (known as Freddie Mac), which are both privately owned but 
        publicly chartered Government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs), 
        were at the center of the mortgage market meltdown that caused 
        the financial crisis that commenced in 2008;
            (2) the failures of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac helped 
        precipitate the deepest economic decline since World War II;
            (3) in September 2008, the Bush Administration, Federal 
        Reserve Board, and Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) 
        exercised authority granted by the Congress to place the two 
        GSEs in conservatorship, a form of nationalization that puts 
        the regulators firmly in control of the GSEs' daily operations;
            (4) in September 2008, the Bush Administration established 
        a $200 billion facility to purchase senior preferred stock in 
        the enterprises to backstop their losses;
            (5) in February 2009, the Obama Administration raised the 
        senior preferred stock purchase commitment to $400 billion;
            (6) on Christmas Eve 2009, the Obama Administration removed 
        any limits on the use of Federal funds to cover losses at the 
        enterprises, significantly expanding a commitment that has 
        resulted in the expenditure of so far nearly $175 billion in 
        taxpayer funds to purchase senior preferred stock in the two 
        enterprises;
            (7) as a result of the Government's actions, the taxpayers 
        of the United States now own nearly 80 percent of the two GSEs;
            (8) the Congressional Budget Office has concluded that 
        Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have effectively become Government 
        entities whose operations should be included in the Federal 
        budget;
            (9) the GSEs are expected to be a long-term drain on the 
        taxpayers as a result of market conditions and the political 
        and public policy mandates imposed on them by the 
        Administration and the Congress;
            (10) in spite of these liabilities, the Treasury Department 
        and FHFA approved compensation packages for the chief executive 
        officers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2009, 2010, and 2011 
        that were nearly 15 times greater than the annual compensation 
        of the President of the United States and 30 times greater than 
        the annual compensation of a Cabinet Secretary;
            (11) the Treasury Department and the FHFA also approved 
        multi-million dollar compensation packages for a number of the 
        GSEs' top executives, payable in cash rather than in the type 
        of stock options that have characterized compensation 
        arrangements at other large financial institutions that have 
        received extraordinary government assistance;
            (12) on September 17, 2008, FHFA determined that no 
        executive officer of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac would be 
        entitled to receive a cash bonus or long-term incentive awards 
        for 2008;
            (13) FHFA's five-year Strategic Plan for Fannie Mae and 
        Freddie Mac includes a commitment that the GSEs will operate in 
        a safe and sound manner; and
            (14) section 1318(c) of the Federal Housing Enterprises 
        Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 (12 U.S.C. 4518(c), 
        as added by section 1113(a)(4) of the Housing and Economic 
        Recovery Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-289; 122 Stat. 2678)), 
        permits the Director of FHFA to withhold any payment, transfer, 
        or disbursement of compensation to an executive officer, or to 
        place such compensation in an escrow account, during the review 
        of the reasonableness and comparability of compensation.

SEC. 6. FANNIE AND FREDDIE EMPLOYEES NOT FEDERAL EMPLOYEES.

    Any executive officer or employee affected by any provision under 
sections 4 and 5, respectively, shall not be considered a Federal 
employee.
answer:

Equity in Government Compensation Act of 2011 - Requires the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency to: (1) suspend the compensation packages approved for 2011 for the executive officers of the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) (government-sponsored enterprises or GSEs); and (2) establish, in lieu of such packages, a compensation system for such officers in accordance with the schedules of compensation and benefits established and adjusted pursuant to the compensation schedule comparability requirements of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989.

Expresses the sense of Congress that each executive officer of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac performing services for an enterprise on the date of enactment of this Act whose compensation package is suspended should return to the Secretary of the Treasury (clawback) any compensation earned in 2010 and 2011 that was in excess of the maximum annual rate of basic pay authorized for a position in level I of the Executive Schedule.

Instructs the Secretary of the Treasury to transfer any such amounts returned to the Secretary to a specified account in the Treasury for receiving gifts and proceeds from their sale or redemption, and dedicated to reducing the public debt.

Subjects Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac executive officers to the executive compensation requirements of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008.

Prohibits the compensation of any executive officer of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac whose compensation package is suspended under this Act from exceeding the compensation of the highest compensated employee of the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

Establishes requirements for determining compensation rates for GSE employees according to the General Schedule for federal civil service employees.

Declares that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac employees shall not be considered federal employees.
