I think it's the obligation of this Committee to act.

I think we've made it hopelessly complicated.

The transparency is not the issue. You can bring up the transparency and I think everybody would love that.

I just worry that what you are doing here, unless you do something in that area, you are going to put the little guys out of business.

If there are that many small firms out there that are going to benefit from this, my address is online.

The tool we have been given, I think in the end is going to be the capital requirement.

Your testimony worries me.
