Richard Shelby actually said...

"Congress cannot leave unaddressed Eximbank's failures to properly manage its risk."

"I have long been concerned with the Bank's financial risk to the American taxpayers, who ultimately stand behind the Bank."

"In determining whether reauthorization is justified, I believe Congress must take another hard look at Eximbank."

"Taxpayers, I believe, should not be compelled to once again stand behind the Bank if the problems are impossible to fix."
