I think there are issues. Reading the report, I really was shocked at the results, especially as it affects Massachusetts.

the opportunity for a new avenue of capital investment in small business is exciting.

Senator Mark L. Pryor of Arkansas

Increasing their capital reserves will enable these banks to continue to serve and benefit their communities.

Thank you again for this opportunity and letting me present the bill, and, again, I want to tell Senator Hutchison how much I appreciate her help on this effort.

there must be sufficient confidence in the investors that they are going to get a fair shake...

This is a good bipartisan bill, and we hope that we can move this relatively quickly through the Senate, if possible.

I want to emphasize that our bill only changes the shareholder threshold for banks and not for other businesses.

It is time Congress updated this standard for banks.

The bill that I am offering with Senator Pryor has strong bipartisan support.

This committee continues to look for bipartisan consensus on data security.
