We hope commonsense prevails.

I think Sarbanes-Oxley has probably resulted in avoiding a lot more HealthSouths and Enrons.

I have serious concerns about such a proposal because mandatory audit firm rotation would both increase the cost of auditing and decrease audit quality.

We cannot afford to hamper job creation, and to lock up capital at this very fragile time.

Nobody wants water running off a copper mine, you know, into the channels and ending up being in the water supply.

That is a glaring comment from them. And I appreciate your honesty in it, but the honesty alone sends a true message that there is a really serious problem with the Volcker Rule if it has this type of an impact.

A Ponzi scheme is, as a matter of law, insolvent from its inception.

I think reform is needed in a different way and, in some ways, a much more fundamental way.

Somebody has to step forward to make sure there is liquidity in the marketplace.

I am concerned that, given the recent history of the new EPA regulations, these new guidelines will be so needlessly restrictive...

Nobody, nobody sitting inside a bureaucratic white tower, ivory tower in Washington, DC, with EPA on the door, is going to have any more concern for the drinking water in that community than someone who drinks the water in that community.

State officials are directly accountable to residents of the State and the people of Oklahoma. They know the buck stops with us.
