To close. Madam Speaker, this was claimed earlier by one of the authors that investors wanted this information, I believe was the quote. Well, I ask the question: If investors want this information, as claimed, then they can bring a vote…
I am opposed to this bill, and I rise in opposition to H.R. 1187. Mr. Speaker, today, my Democrat colleagues, once again, are seeking to hijack our securities laws to push leftwing political and social agendas, despite dressing it up as…
We need to pursue these and make sure that we remove those barriers, not put more up.
I rise with my friend and colleague from Arkansas to acknowledge the work that has been put in by our colleague from Connecticut. This has been a long discussion that we have had various points where we have debated, and this is a positive…
However, codifying very nuanced case law and regulations that have been developed over decades to prohibit insider trading is a significant task and undertaking. We all know that case law does oftentimes dictate the nuances. I fear that…
Let me throw out one name--I guess it is actually, technically, two names: Dodd-Frank. My friends on the other side wrote a massively expansive bill that did turn over all of that authority to come up and promulgate rules out of whole…
I do appreciate your having this hearing. I know this is something that has been important.
How do you think we determine what those estimates should be? Through the completion of the prior year return.
Extending the filing date of the 2020 tax returns was not an option. It was a necessity because of all of the stuff being thrown at us this year.
I know what it is. What I need to know in this short amount of time is about the materiality.
It seems like some of my colleagues would maybe like to return to a pension system where someone else controls the investments, and you get a guaranteed outcome no matter what, versus sort of the more individual responsibility that we now…
I have to tell you, I know some accredited investors whom I wouldn't have invest $10 of mine, because these people--I would never call them 'dumb', but they are 'un-smart.'
This hearing is an important part of Congress' oversight of our capital markets, and it is also a great opportunity to reaffirm support for retail investors' participation.
Having this updated information will help us analyze and assess the threats facing the Great Lakes and allow us to be more proactive instead of 100 percent reactive. The Great Lakes are a way of life for many of us in west Michigan and…
In the midst of a divided Washington, D.C., it is important that Congress comes together to prioritize the protection of the Great Lakes. As co-chair of the bipartisan Great Lakes Task Force, building bipartisan consensus that preserves…
Parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Speaker. Is it appropriate-- The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will suspend. The gentlewoman from Virginia may yield for a parliamentary inquiry. The gentlewoman is recognized.
I remind Mr. Bilirakis, everyone knows that Detroit is actually hockey town. Mr. Speaker, every day, members in law enforcement put on their uniform not knowing if they are going to come home, these mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers…
And I rise today in opposition to H.R. 6270. Republicans are unwavering in our support to hold China accountable for the human rights violations that are occurring in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, or the XUAR. We agree with each…
May I inquire as to the time remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Michigan has 23 minutes remaining. The gentlewoman from California has 18 minutes remaining.
We are hoping to get one more person here who is on their way, so I continue to reserve the balance of my time.
I don't think I have ever heard a SEC Chair even come close to thinking that insider trading or that enforcement is somehow not acceptable.
It has famously been said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.
This subcommittee should not be used as a name and shame game for companies for wrongdoing that has been perceived to have happened.
Insider trading is not only wrong, it is illegal, and not only does it hurt the integrity of our capital markets but it also hurts our Main Street investors as well as Mr. and Mrs. 401K.
