“This bill has been described as a clash between the super rich and the super wealthy. That Is unquestionably true, but in the clash of these titans, the question is, who stands for the American public? The answer to that question is, without the Conyers amendment, no one. The American people stand naked before the potential excesses of these giants unless we have some protection from them offered by the Justice Department. There is an incredibly high standard in this bill, Mr. Chairman. There must be a dangerous probability of substantially impeding justice before the Justice Department comes in. Let us pass the Conyers amendment and protect the American people.”
