FUNDING for this Program: No new taxes.
Congress will authorize Treasury to issue up to $800 billion in 30 year Treasury bonds, at prevailing rates, to implement this program; or the balance of uncommitted TARP funds be used to reduce the amount of extra funding required until $800 billion is allocated to the Federal Reserve Banks for this purpose.
These funds will be placed in a separate segregated Federal Reserve Board administered fund that cannot be invaded by Congress. These funds will be used to purchase mortgages funded by Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae/Federal reserve Banks.
Chairman of Fed to be responsible for disbursement and oversight of the program through FNMA/FHLMC/Federal reserve banks so co-ordination with Monetary policy will be maximized.
Reporting to Congress on program status twice a year.
