Mary L. Schapiro: “This year we find ourselves at a critical juncture, and that is because the Congress has challenged us not only to…”

I do believe that we cannot suffer under the too-big-to-fail doctrine as an economy for very much longer.

I believe deeply in cooperation between regulators and support Chairman Schapiro's efforts to continue coordination and consultation between the SEC and DOL.

A stable, fair, and efficient market structure is the backbone of the equity markets and an important engine of our economy.

The worst result I think we could have would be for investors to lose confidence generally again, as they did after Enron, in the quality and the integrity of financial statements.
