I thank the gentleman for yielding me this time and rise this evening on the subject of MF Global and the clear need for oversight by the Congress. Mr. Speaker, Congress isn't doing its job to investigate the fraud that has infected our…

I thank the Speaker. Let me rephrase this. At the hearing, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's Jill Sommers' testimony was invaluable to the public. Her testimony places the MF Global collapse in proper perspective, and I'm quoting…

In reclaiming my time, section 603(c) was added in committee. I would inquire of the gentleman, was it stripped from the bill?

I yield myself 1 minute. I am quoting from an article in The Hill, which I cited earlier: Section 601 would prohibit U.S. Government employees in any official or unofficial capacity from contacting anyone who is affiliated with the Iranian…
