"I authored Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank legislation which requires publicly listed companies to disclose the pay of their median worker compared to the pay of their CEO."

"I hope the SEC believes that this type of disclosure would be helpful for investors."

"An October 2010 Zogby poll of business leaders found that 77 percent of them believe that corporations should disclose all the direct and indirect political expenditures."

"Many large companies--Microsoft, Wells Fargo, Merck, Aetna--have already taken steps to disclose their political expenditures, and to me it illustrates the ease in which it can be done."
