I also would like to associate, for the sake of time, myself with the words of Congressman Scott from Atlanta as it relates to not only the issue he talked about, but more importantly about Black wealth or minorities.

I urge you to ask the President to put a pause on this and let us see what the impact is on the Black families.

I very much would like to hear from Chair Yellen about how the Fed has bolstered its expertise to take on these new responsibilities.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this hearing. And thanks to Federal Reserve Chair Yellen for making herself available to testify.

Let me also express my deep concern about legislation this committee considered during a markup this week that would severely undermine efforts by the Fed to regulate both banks and non-banks.

I am eager to hear from Chair Yellen on the progress of these reforms.

I oppose cutting HUD. I am here to hold back the rollback and that is what I see happening.

I am here to protect HUD. I am here to protect it because I know about the good that it has done, notwithstanding all of the cuts through the years.

Mr. Chairman, this is absolutely a subject that deserves our close attention.

If we are worried about the Fed's growth policies, why don't we meet the Fed halfway, and stop the misguided obsession with austerity and trying to trick the economy to grow the economy?

Injecting politics into monetary policy would be a disaster.

I strongly support the dual mandate. It reflects the reality of monetary policy.

In fact, it is double the national unemployment rate, and I think most people--you included--would agree that is unacceptably high.

Unfortunately, that is not what they have done.

To the extent that a prudential standard is intended to mitigate systemic risk, it should be tailored to the bank's systemic risk.

I believe, as many of you said in your testimony, that the $50 billion threshold doesn't accurately measure systemic importance.

As I recall, in February James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee, and in that testimony, he stated that in the future we might see more cyber operations that will change or…

I am not sure how I feel. I guess I wanted you to be able to answer Congressman Duffy's question by saying, yes, that some of our information is protected and safe and we could work through this and come up with a fail-safe system. But…
