Hon. Michael G. Oxley

I can't match the eloquence of the gentleman from Massachusetts, so I yield back

I will take a second to correct the gentleman from Alabama. There is not one word in this resolution that calls for prosecution of anything other than leakers. Not the media.

I am not going to claim opposition because we support the amendment. I would just say to the gentlewoman, we are pleased to accept her amendment.

The Chair is prepared to accept the amendment. I want to thank the gentlewoman for her foresight and also for merging this new technology with the ability of FEMA to make better and more accurate mapping.

We are pleased to accept the amendment. I congratulate the gentleman on his foresight. We are prepared to vote in favor of the amendment.

Well, I think the gentleman from Massachusetts makes a good point. I think once we start down this slippery slope it is really not in the best interests of this institution. And I think, talking to Members privately on both sides of the…

I would echo that. And I am glad we changed the rules, by the way, that one can mention that body instead of referring to it as, quote, the other body. In any event, this is meaningful legislation that we indeed want to pursue in the other…

I was attending events in my congressional district during today's rollcall votes on H.R. 3548, the Heinz Ahlmeyer, Jr., Post Office Building Designation Act, and H.R. 3989, the Albert Harold Quie Post Office Designation Act. Had I been…

I look forward to clarifying this language with the help of the gentlewoman from Ohio.

It occurred to me as I was listening to my friend from California, we could go back to the old days of giving out toasters for deposits. I would say that the system we have now, I have not heard of toaster promotion for a long time…

Mr. Chairman, to close, and again in opposition, I think it is unfortunate and really not necessary to put Republican-Democrat in the statute. That is really what we are trying to do; that is what the gentleman from New York is trying to…

This section of the bill we are debating from the Committee on Financial Services was a great bipartisan effort. We had testimony from Lee Hamilton, our former colleague, who was praiseworthy of what our committee was able to do in the…

Mr. Chairman, for my part in closing, I first want to say it has been a pleasure to work with the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Frank), my ranking member. I do not think any of us take a back seat, I know I do not, in fighting…

Mr. Chairman, let me say, this bill was drafted in our committee. I was the lead sponsor of the legislation. We have fully determined the efficacy of using these matricula consular cards. By the way, it is not the only form of…

That letter was dated today. The Justice Department clearly supports the Oxley amendment.

The Justice Department supports the administration's determination to permit the acceptance of matricula consular cards by financial institutions under circumstances where financial institutions reasonably believe they can properly…

I thank the sponsors of this event. There were over 5,000 people, the largest crowd at the event ever, and it will produce over $100,000 for the Adult Literacy Council and Boys and Girls Clubs of the Washington area. They are always very…

The answer is yes. The rules will ban joint management by the same individual but not the same firm, both the registered investment company and other unregistered investment vehicles. Those rules will address the conflicts of interest that…

Let me indicate my support for the gentleman's purposes here. I think he makes an excellent point. We had some good debate in the committee as well as here on the floor. As we work toward, hopefully, the conference committee, I pledge my…

I salute the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Sensenbrenner) and the Committee on the Judiciary for the hard work that they have done. It may be like deja vu all over again, but it is a worthy cause, and I salute my colleagues for what they…

I would literally be the last person in this Congress to cut FBI funding. In my estimation this does not do that. Those fees, the cost to the SEC comes out of those fees; and I want to make certain that that is the case.

I simply point out that I do not think at the end of the day that this is going to be an appropriations issue. It will be an issue that those fees will generate the amount of money necessary to run the SEC. That is what the legislation…

I point out that since the mid-1990s, as the gentleman knows, the SEC has been funded through section 31 fees and other fee operations. During our debate on the legislation that reduced the fees, we came to understand that, clearly, those…

Mr. Chairman, I thank my friend, the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Capuano), a fine member of the Committee, for his good work on this amendment. I rise in strong support of it. By clarifying that at least two members of the…
