On the recordFebruary 5, 2004

It is no exaggeration to say this is essential legislation for the future strength and vitality of our economy and of our society. I very strongly urge my colleagues to support the legislation that has been brought forward from the Banking Committee, as I said, on a unanimous vote in a markup yesterday morning.
