``A press release from FHFA contained the following statement. "As Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shrink, the continued payment of a fixed dividend could have called into question the adequacy of the financial commitment contained in the PSPAs.

The steps today are also important as Congress and policymakers contemplate the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac."''
