Christopher Dodd actually said...

"For over 2 years, this Committee has worked to stem the tide of foreclosures in America."

"We want to commend Chairman Dodd and other members of the Committee for your leadership in getting this important legislation enacted."

"These families are the foundation, as all of us know, of our economy and the reason that we are here in Washington working on this historic and critically important legislation."

"I have championed as well, and that is, an independent agency whose job it will be to ensure that American consumers are treated fairly and honestly."
