DODD STATEMENT ON HOUSE FINANCIAL SERVICES COMMITTEE PASSAGE OF HOUSING PACKAGE

“Our top priority right now should be helping people keep their homes, and this is another step in the right direction.  I commend Chairman Frank for his perseverance and dedication to addressing the foreclosure crisis that is spreading through our neighborhoods, communities, and markets.  I am committed to working on bipartisan legislation with my colleagues in the Senate Banking Committee to reduce foreclosures and restore liquidity to the mortgage market.”
