Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs

U.S. Senate rules define the jurisdiction of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs as:


 * Banks, banking, and financial institutions.
 * Deposit insurance (i.e., Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, etc.)
 * Economic stabilization and defense production.
 * Export and foreign trade promotion.
 * Export controls.
 * Federal monetary policy, including the Federal Reserve System.
 * Financial aid to commerce and industry.
 * Issuance and redemption of notes.
 * Money and credit, including currency and coinage.
 * Nursing home construction.
 * Public and private housing (including veterans housing).
 * Renegotiation of Government contracts.
 * Urban development and urban mass transit.

While the Committee is given authority in "matters relating to international economic policy as it affects United States monetary affairs, credit, and financial institutions; economic growth, urban affairs, and credit", this area may overlap that of the Senate Committee on Finance and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
