Rep. Barney Frank, whose committee oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, said he will push to do away with the companies in favor of a different model for U.S. mortgage financing. “The committee will be recommending abolishing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in their current form and coming up with a whole new system of housing finance,” Frank, D-Mass. and chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said.
