I think it is next week or the week after. I am not sure.
Today our hearing is on Financial Services and Products: the Role of the Federal Trade Commission in Protecting Consumers, Part 2.
I think that the heart is in the right place. I see the intent of the Dodd bill to protect the FTC.
I'm not clear that that intent is reflected in its sometimes warring provisions.
Thank you for helping me manage this hearing.
Well, listen, I want to thank the panel.
We must not forget the reasons why the more deliberative rulemaking process was established for the FTC in the first place.
I'd like to call this hearing to order.
I want to protect people from wood products that contain formaldehyde.
As we consider various options for strengthening enforcement in the financial industry, I want to be assured that consumers won't lose out.
What is it about the statute that takes so long? Why is it so cumbersome?
