Proper enforcement of all the securities laws helps maintain investor confidence in our markets.

I view innovation as one of the key elements of the success of our country.

This is an out-of-the-box idea that deserves very careful consideration.

I am very drawn to the potential of Opportunity Zones to help close that gap between these two very different worlds.

The US economy is generally doing well and, for that, we should all be very, very thankful.

I want to thank you and all the panelists and Mr. Cummings for focusing on what has really become a national crisis.

I believe this is a bipartisan issue we can work together on for treatment.

The Trump plan could eliminate, or would eliminate, cost-of-living-adjustments for current and future retirees in the Federal Employee Retirement System.

This is not the first time Republicans had degraded the paychecks of public servants.

It's already started, the downsizing and the reorganization, without sharing any of this information.

I wonder if Congressman Mulvaney would have tolerated receiving such a response when he was a member of this committee.

I don't care how you look at it; this is a wage cut.

OMB's description of a deliberative privilege to evade congressional oversight is not acceptable.

Enacting the changes that President Trump demands under the guise of reform would betray the promises our Nation has made to Federal workers.

I support it, but I also believe that the responsibility shouldn't be entirely on financial institutions.

Unfortunately, it appears that President Trump does not value these workers or the critical services they provide to the American people.

the responsibility shouldn't all be on the banks. Banks are required to know their customers, but it shouldn't have to be this hard to find out actually who they are.

FinCEN's Customer Due Diligence Rule is very important because it is the first step toward cracking down on these anonymous shell companies.

We thank Chairman Luetkemeyer for his leadership, along with Chairman Pearce, for sponsoring the Counterterrorism and Illicit Finance Act; and Representatives Pete King and Carolyn Maloney for cosponsoring the Corporate Transparency Act.

The solution is really a simple one. Companies should have to disclose their beneficial owners at the time they are formed.

If the SEC allowed this, it would, essentially, be the end of securities fraud cases in Federal court.

I led a letter to Chairman Clayton that every single Democrat signed, in strongly opposing any effort to allow public companies to use forced arbitration clauses on their own shareholders.

Let us be clear about the stakes here. If the SEC allows companies to use these forced arbitration clauses, that would essentially be the end of any securities fraud cases in public courts.

In my personal view, we shouldn't make significant changes to that disclosure framework lightly.

I want to really thank very much the IGs for the role that you are not only playing today, but that you play every day in trying to maintain the trust of the public and the integrity of our government.
