CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES


For a discussion of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the
Medium-Term Notes described in this Pricing Supplement (the "New Medium Term Notes"), Owners should read the
following summary together with the sections entitled "Certain United States Federal Tax Consequences--U.S. Owners"
and "--Non-U.S. Owners" in the accompanying Offering Circular.

Deemed Debt Exchange Between Certain Holders and Freddie Mac


If an Owner purchasing the New Medium Term Notes from Freddie Mac had previously held our debt securities
issued on October 22, 2007 and having the CUSIP Number 3128X6PV2 (the "Old Medium Term Notes") and such Old
Medium Term Notes had been repurchased by Freddie Mac in a manner that was conditioned (implicitly or explicitly)
upon such Owner's purchase of the New Medium Term Notes, all or a portion of the repurchase and associated purchase
may be treated as a "deemed exchange" for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of an Owner participating in a deemed exchange will generally depend
on whether the exchange results in a "significant modification" of the terms of the Old Medium Term Notes. The
deemed exchange of an Old Medium Term Note for a New Medium Term Note generally will constitute a significant
modification of the terms of the Old Medium Term Note if, based on all of the facts and circumstances, the legal
rights and obligations under the New Medium Term Note differ from those under the Old Medium Term Note to a
degree that is economically significant. We intend to treat the deemed exchange as resulting in a significant
modification of the terms of the Old Medium Term Notes such that a deemed exchange of an Old Medium Term
Note for a New Medium Term Note will constitute an exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Under such treatment, an Owner of an Old Medium Term Note will be required to recognize gain or loss on a
deemed exchange unless the exchange qualifies as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The
deemed exchange of an Old Medium Term Note for a New Medium Term Note will qualify as a recapitalization only
if both the Old Medium Term Note and the New Medium Term Note constitute "securities" for this purpose. The
U.S. tax rules for determining whether a debt instrument constitutes a security for purposes of the recapitalization
provisions are not entirely clear. The term "securities" is not defined in the Code or applicable Regulations and has
not been clearly defined by court decisions. The determination of whether a debt instrument constitutes a "security"
for U.S. federal income tax purposes is based on all the facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, the
term of the debt instrument, the degree of participation and continuing interest in the business, the extent of
proprietary interest compared with the similarity of the instrument to a cash payment, and the overall purpose of the
advances to which the instrument relates. The term of the debt instrument is usually considered the most significant
factor. Based on their terms, we believe that the Old Medium Term Notes should, and the New Medium Term Notes
will, be treated as securities for purposes of the recapitalization provisions.

Thus, a deemed exchange of an Old Medium Term Note for a New Medium Term Note should qualify as a
recapitalization. As a result, Owners who participate in such an exchange will not recognize any loss as a result of
the exchange and the amount of any gain recognized will generally equal the lesser of the gain realized on the
deemed exchange or the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of the excess of the principal amount of
the New Medium Term Notes received over the principal amount of the Old Medium Term Notes tendered (other
than any cash or the portion of the New Medium Term Notes that is attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which
generally would be taxable as interest income to the extent not previously included in income by the Owner). Any
gain recognized generally will be capital gain (subject to the market discount discussion below) and will be long-
term capital gain if the Owner's holding period in the Old Medium Term Notes is more than one year. Certain non-
corporate U.S. Owners (including individuals) are eligible for preferential rates of U.S. federal income taxation in
respect of long-term capital gains. Additionally, an Owner that acquired the Old Medium Term Notes with market
discount generally will be required to treat a portion of any gain recognized on the deemed exchange as ordinary
income to the extent attributable to any accrued market discount not previously included in income.

The adjusted tax basis of an Owner in a New Medium Term Note generally will be equal to such Owner's
adjusted tax basis in its Old Medium Term Note deemed exchanged therefor immediately prior to the deemed exchange,
decreased by the amount of cash, if any, such Owner receives in the deemed exchange in respect of the Old Medium Term
Note, and increased by the amount of gain, if any, that such Owner recognizes. An Owner's adjusted tax basis in the Old
Medium Term Note generally will equal the price the Owner paid for the Old Medium Term Note, increased by the
amount of any market discount previously included in income by such Owner with respect to the Old Medium Term Note,
and reduced (but not below zero) by any amortizable bond premium allowable as a deduction with respect to the Old
Medium Term Note. The holding period of an Owner with respect to a New Medium Term Note will include the holding
period for such Owner's Old Medium Term Note.


Owners who receive New Medium Term Notes and cash in the deemed exchange should consult their own tax
advisors regarding possible alternative characterizations of the deemed exchange, including, but not limited to, the
characterization of the exchange as in part a recapitalization and in part a redemption.


Owners will not be subject to the special tax consequences described above with respect to any portion of the
New Medium Term Notes that is not received in the deemed exchange. The U.S. federal tax consequences associated
with such notes will generally be as described in the Offering Circular under "Certain United States Federal Tax
Consequences ­ U.S. Owners" and "--Non- U.S. Owners."


We intend to treat an exchange of an Old Medium Term Note for a New Medium Term Note as a
significant modification that qualifies as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and Owners who
receive New Medium Term Notes for Old Medium Term Notes agree to be bound to such treatment. Owners
participating in a deemed exchange are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal tax
consequences to them of participating in such exchange based upon their particular circumstances, including any
alternative characterizations of the deemed exchange.
