I am deeply disappointed you were not available to testify on something that is so critical to development assistance in our country.

Do you believe any of these delays may be related to policy or political disagreements with congressionally mandated programs?

Will you commit today to retain assessment areas with a local geographical focus under the Community Reinvestment Act?

these values: democracy, governance, labor, and human right are critical enablers for our foreign policy success

I want to see if we can go through a sense of what it is that we might mutually agree is the essence of the elements that are essential to any deal with North Korea.

if we--for example, there is legislation that calls for allowing $1 trillion in student loan debt collectively nationwide to be ultimately refinanced at historical lows.

this provision raises questions about competition and consolidation of power by the consumer reporting agencies.

In my experience, these funds have largely been signs of political support for market reforms in countries coming out of conflict.

Thank you both for your testimonies. Very worthy.

I think you have made it pretty clear that the merging of OPIC and AID's developing credit authority will--how do you think that will affect the overall development approach and impact?

the bill establishes development as the mission, but without clarity and definition of scope.

Would you agree that a mix of both finance and private-sector voices, as well as expertise from labor, human rights, and the interagency process, is important?
