"It is imperative that we modernize our efforts to combat financial crimes because our adversaries will continue to modernize theirs."

"I would like to thank Chairwoman Waters for creating this new Subcommittee on National Security, International Development and Monetary Policy."

"I am convinced that there is no better issue to start our subcommittee's work than a discussion of policies to detect and deter these financial crimes."

"These are some of the most pressing issues facing our country and the world, and I am excited for the opportunity this Congress presents to confront them head on."
