At this point I have no further speakers, so I would like to close with a few words here. This bipartisan bill will increase options for investors and savers while ensuring that the protections appropriate to a WKSI are applied to…

And rise today in support of H.R. 4279. This was a thoroughly negotiated bill, incorporating the views of affected funds and consumer and investor advocacy groups. My staff worked with Congressman Hollingsworth's staff up to the eleventh…

One of the large cost drivers in any of this sort of project is the high level specification on the probability of loss of crew.
