Ms. Waters. You do not have to tell everybody.

I have an amendment at the desk that is made in order under the rule. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 67, line 24, strike ``shall--'' and insert ``shall, subject to…

I think we need more than we have been getting over the last years and I think this makes me feel good about my vote in support of Dodd-Frank.

Let me just segue into something that perhaps you had not anticipated. Out in California, we have a number of cities that are filing bankruptcy, and a lot of this has to do with the housing crisis and the problems that they have.

the scandals still keep coming, and public trust in the integrity of the financial system, I think is at an end.

that is why I have been advocating for the swift implementation of the Wall Street reform law, strong enforcement of existing law, and for adequate funding for our regulators.

As I understand it, the New York Fed may not regulate primary dealers, but they do set out business standards and technical requirements for primary dealers, and they can fire a primary dealer at any time. Are any going to be fired, do you…

I thank the gentleman from Michigan for the time. I rise to oppose H.R. 6079, the Republicans 31st attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act. This bill is ridiculous. It is as ridiculous as the previous 30 votes to repeal health care…

We should be concerned about MF Global. We should be concerned about the Bickwell in London and the proprietary trading.

I just feel really strange about community banks being roped into these antics of my friends on the opposite side of the aisle.

Dodd-Frank was a tremendous effort to try and deal with this crisis that was created.

And I don't think we need to go into what happened during the crisis and what caused the crisis.

I'm pleased that we could work in a bipartisan fashion to not only extend our expiring transportation and student loan interest rate programs, but to also reform the Federal flood insurance program. I'd like to thank Representative Judy…

And Members, I rise in opposition to this underlying bill, the Republican Transportation, Housing and Urban Development appropriations bill for the coming fiscal year, commonly referred to as THUD. This bill drastically underfunds critical…

I thank my colleagues Betty McCollum, Barbara Lee, Emanuel Cleaver, Karen Bass, Laura Richardson, Bobby Rush, and Doris Matsui all for cosponsoring this amendment. Our amendment will provide $500 million for the TIGER program, which…

The scope of the IP theft in China imposes massive harm on U.S. companies and the U.S. economy.

I'm really looking for substantial public policy.

In the limited time that we have to speak on these important issues, I have tried to point out the high unemployment in this country and how we can put Americans to work repairing crumbling roads and building transit facilities across our…

A point of order has been raised because there is no offset. And I agree there is no offset. But I make the point that we have such a critical need for jobs and investment in our infrastructure and this economy that we should not stop this…

Losses to IP-intensive industries from IP infringement in China was estimated at about $48 billion in 2009.

One of the things that I have noted about this panel and this issues is that we have advocates, we have the business community all coming together to talk about the need for rental housing.

I have been very concerned with the parallel effort going on at the OCC and the Federal Reserve under their mortgage servicing consent order process.

The major mortgage servicers at that time--at that same hearing--downplayed all of the allegations being made.

So, are you going to proceed with some investigating that is going to lead to some litigation, or are you going to continue to work in ways that will allow those who are being accused to 'neither admit nor deny' and just keep settling and…

Today I stand with my Democratic colleagues and victims of domestic violence across our Nation in strong opposition to H.R. 4970, the House Republican alternative to the Violence Against Women Reauthorization bill. This bill severely…
