I appreciate your invitation to testify on my experiences with the SEC with regard to the Bernard Madoff scandal.

There can be no excuse for that colossal failure. But I demand--the victims of this fraud...demand--an explanation.

Bernard Madoff stole $50 billion. He stole from individuals and pension funds and charities and municipalities like Fairfield in my home state.

I again want to commend you, your colleagues, and the Committee staff for the serious way in which you have attacked this national problem.
