About-Face on RESPA: MBA's New Lobbyist

Before taking his new position with the MBA, Wolfson's job was to make a case in Congress for the Bush administration's legislation and policy initiatives, including budget and appropriations, FHA modernization, strengthened oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and RESPA reform, the MBA said.

Wolfson's new job could require him to make an aboutface on HUD's proposed changes to the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, or RESPA.
