Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On August 25, 2008, the Board of Directors of Fannie Mae (formally, the Federal National Mortgage Association) elected Frederick B. "Bart" Harvey III to join the Board. Mr. Harvey also will serve on the Board's Housing and Community Finance Committee and Technology and Operations Committee.

Mr. Harvey, 59, retired in March 2008 from his role as chairman of the Board of Trustees of Enterprise Community Partners, a provider of development capital and technical expertise to create affordable housing and rebuild communities. He joined Enterprise in 1984, and a year later became vice chairman. Mr. Harvey also was Enterprise’s chief executive officer from 1993 to 2007. Before joining Enterprise, Mr. Harvey served in various domestic and international positions with Dean Witter Reynolds, leaving as managing director of Corporate Finance.

In accordance with Fannie Mae’s non-management director compensation practices, Mr. Harvey will be paid a retainer at a rate of $100,000 per year for serving as a Board member. Under the terms of Fannie Mae's Stock Compensation Plan of 2003, upon his election to the Board, Mr. Harvey received 4,014 restricted stock units that are scheduled to vest on the day before Fannie Mae's next annual shareholders' meeting. In accordance with its customary practice, Fannie Mae is entering into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Harvey, the form of which was filed as Exhibit 10.7 to Fannie Mae’s Form 10 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2003.
