Reclaiming my time, I respect the gentleman's intentions on this. I understand the concept of a level playing field. If the Chinese are bribing a Third World country, we should be able to compete with them. If that is the case, make our…

Let's be honest, guys: leveling the playing field, capital formation. Come on. All this rule was written for is to expose bribery. There is no line in any corporate report that says: paid for bribery. It comes up as royalty fees. It comes…

Reclaiming my time, I respectfully disagree. This, for all intents and purposes, prohibits them from doing it, number one. Number two, you have an obligation. You have an obligation, if you don't like what exists, to propose an…

The basic tenets are pretty clear. Here is what they write, one line from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops: `` . . . where governance is weak and corruption is rampant extractive, industry revenue that is not transparent becomes a…

Wake up, guys, wake up.

I think it was about 3 years ago we had the president of the Chamber of Commerce... sit in that chair and tell us the Chamber of Commerce supported an increase in the gas tax.

But there is a minor little point. You all run businesses or large organizations. Somebody has got to pay for this.

I would just like to go on record to say that whenever Mr. Massie agrees with us, we get nervous, too.

I cochaired a group looking at public-private partnerships... and we came to the unanimous, bipartisan conclusion that they have a role, and they are good, but they are no better than maybe--maybe--10 percent of our needs.

Have you told this to the new administration?

Thus far, the smoke signals coming out of the new administration is somehow we are going to do this with just public-private partnerships. No new money.

This is my first 1-minute in 20 years-- first one--and I am here today to basically call out my colleagues who remained silent this weekend as Lady Liberty shed tears. It is not about extreme vetting. No one has concerns about punching it…

I don't know what kind of a culture. You have 16 violations and 5,300 employees that you say did it.

You have brought true bipartisanship to Congress. We're all together on this. We are not happy.

Your problem is coming. It's not today. You think today is tough? It's coming. When the prosecutors get ahold of you, you're going to have a lot of fun.

You, on the other hand, have run an enterprise that has a culture of corruption.

You haven't done a very good job. You've had 16 violations in 5 years.

You screwed student loan holders, credit unions, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, mortgage holders, African-Americans, Hispanics, healthcare workers, on and on and on.

I actually think I'm the greatest Congressman in the history of the world.

So if Mr. Holmes pays a little fine, a few bucks, based on the amount of money he stole...

I want to amend it; I just don't want to gut it.

You know they are laughing at you, right? You know they are laughing at you.

You know that an $85 million fine to this bank is laughable. You know that.

Too big to fail? I agree. We should do more on it.

I think there are some reasonable questions and issues being raised here.
