"It is my fervent hope that the majority of the House will join the large bipartisan majority in the Senate and send me legislation that will make our streets safe, our drivers sober, and our laws more..."

"These changes serve only to stifle creativity, reduce benefits to consumers, and undermine the nation's dual banking system."

"The bill falls short of meeting the overarching goal of financial services modernization, thus denying consumers the benefits of an efficient, full-service financial services system."
