The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 has been a living, breathing document; but in those subsequent years from 1934, there has never been a definition of either ``retail investor'' or ``institutional investor,'' and to hang an amendment on…
Just to address a couple of things: This bill clearly says it will add Form CRS to the list of exempted disclosures that would not require SEC investor testing. It has nothing to do with cryptocurrencies unless, somehow, magically, a…
May I inquire how much time is remaining on each side and whether the gentlewoman is prepared to close at this time. The CHAIR. The gentleman from Michigan has 21\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentlewoman from California has 14 minutes…

I am prepared to close. I am curious on the remaining balance of time on both sides. The CHAIR. The gentleman from Michigan has 2 minutes remaining. The gentleman from New Jersey has 2 minutes remaining.
Again, my opposition to the amendment has nothing to do with putting seniors in danger. In fact, that is why I supported a litany of bills and a package of bills that included the author's Senior Security Act this last April. The House is…
I appreciate the ranking member allowing me this time. Let's set aside the moral and societal aspects of cannabis and the debate and acknowledge that we have a problem. We do have a problem. We have States that have decided to violate…
