Mr. Bacon, as early as March 30, you and your boss, Mr. Hogan, were notified that the international chief investment officer in London had 'lost confidence' in his team.

Jamie Dimon criticized the performance of the SCP saying, quote, made a terrible egregious mistake, no excuse for it, we knew we were sloppy, we know we were stupid, we know there was bad judgment.

It is way past time to finalize the rules implementing stronger capital bank standards.

Absolutely. Absolutely.

But I also worry about the increased involvement of Russia and Iranians who really -- Iranians do not want to see Assad fall.

And we should be very cognizant of that.

And the bad guys are aware of the schedule.

I also believe that the Department of Homeland Security needs to do a much better job of measuring its performance at our borders.
