Would you agree that we would have to legislate in order to give you--in other words--

So, they are sitting on the sidelines. In other words, investment capital is waiting.

Unfortunately, the SEC missed that deadline. Unfortunately, this becomes endemic, not only with the SEC but with any agency under the jurisdiction of Dodd-Frank.

But isn't that what the market does?

Unfortunately, across the country, and across Florida's 15th Congressional District, Veterans continue to encounter unacceptable problems and delays receiving appointments from the Veterans Administration (VA).

We cannot wait to see what next year brings.

I think that what we are trying to do is recognize that we have a problem here and I think that a lot of it has been covered up and the issue is a lot worse than what we know it to be.

we are trying to impose one standard of 30 days.

America's Veterans are the backbone of the freedom and prosperity this country has enjoyed for over two hundred years.

The time to act is now.

The time for waiting is over.

America's veterans are the backbone of the freedom and prosperity that this country has enjoyed for over 200 years.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I appreciate that. I apologize, I only have a minute left and I have to go to Mr. Millstein for just one quick second.

Yesterday, I had the distinguished opportunity to greet three busloads of Florida World War II veterans participating in an Honor Flight. In total, more than 80 proud Floridians who bravely fought to free the world of evil during World War…

And it was relatively clear and unambiguous also in the JOBS Act that this was to be done within 90 days, correct?

It appears as though, and this is the theme I keep coming back to, it was clear and unambiguous what the requirement was for the SEC to do with regard to implementation of Title II.
