Panel blasts regulating agencies over housing discrimination
Senate Banking Committee reports that three of four federal mortgage regulators have never issued antidiscrimination rules and have not found a single institution guilty of discrimination. Chairman Proxmire calls the record a disgrace and cites eight years of inaction since the 1968 Fair Housing Act. Agencies cite 1968 act limits. only the Home Loan Bank Board claims any anti bias review. Minority loan applicants reportedly face higher rejection rates, harming wealth opportunities.
