I am pleased to rise in support of this legislation because I think it addresses a fundamental flaw in how we have looked at operational risk capital. Fundamentally, we want banks to hold capital necessary for the risks they are taking…

There are many days when we stand in this Chamber and I specifically talk about the regulations, the regulations that are holding back our economy from growing, holding back consumers from getting the products that they want--we talked…

I appreciate the opportunity to lend my voice to an important piece of legislation. First, like others, I want to thank everybody who has worked very hard on this legislation. I know it is a matter of passion for many Members on both sides…
