"The most important goal of government support must be to get banks lending again by ensuring they are properly capitalized."

"We need to regulate institutions for what they do, not what they are."

"We urge President Obama and his team to bring the same bold leadership to bear on this problem as they have to the problems of economic stimulus and the mortgage crisis."
