“I rise in support of the Fair Credit Reporting Act which we are debating on the floor today. I think it is important as we move through this debate and take up amendments to the legislation that we continue to ask the question, Why do we need this legislation in the first place? What are we trying to accomplish with the bill? First and foremost, this is legislation that is intended to serve and protect the interests of consumers in the United States of America. In this legislation we are providing consumers access to a national credit system. If we look at the financial services, or our commerce system across the entire country, it is our job to look out for the interests of consumers where interstate commerce and business is concerned, and this legislation does just that. It provides access to a national credit system, and it does so at a reasonable cost. We strike a balance between the needs of the consumers and the impact on our economy so that in the long run both consumers and America's economy are well served. We work to ensure consistency and fairness in the legislation.”
