This agreement offers U.S. and EU reinsurers alike relief from both requirements to have a local presence and local collateral.

It also establishes certainty about when U.S. standards will qualify as equivalent under Solvency II for U.S. insurers.

U.S.-EU unity is critical if multilateral sanctions on Russia are to continue to be effective.

Russia's interference in our election... poses a problem that goes far beyond foreign policy and strikes at the core of our democracy.

The proposal from Senator Sherrod Brown and Representative Richard Neal would ensure that the updated credit kept a childless worker making poverty-level wages out of poverty

Congress must take concrete action that focuses our limited resources on investing in hardworking families.

Too many people here in Washington think that if the stock market is on the rise, the economy is doing just fine.

What our business leaders lack is certainty.

When we talk about economic growth, we need to talk about policies that help Americans' pocketbooks.

Our financial system is more stable because of Wall Street reform, banks are better able to handle losses, and consumers are better protected from the types of predatory loans that led to the crisis.

Legislation like Dodd-Frank is necessary to limit systemic risk and excesses of exploiting consumers.

It is very important to focus on consumers and workers because that is the real economy.

The response from this Administration is not encouraging. It has been stocked with Wall Street executives who want to do a number on the law that holds their former firms accountable.

I hope that with the Committee's call for proposals we will be able to put some new ideas on the table that would gain broad and bipartisan support.

Rolling back Wall Street reform clearly does not fit the bill.

Finance is a means to an end, not an end in itself.

It is pretty amazing to me that a bunch of us in this body who get government-supported insurance, whose taxpayers subsidize our health insurance, that people in this body and the other house want to take away insurance for a whole lot of…

I just ask if something happens and that insurance is taken away, as it would be with the House bill, for all those people that have opioid addictions and are getting treatment, I would ask you if you would go back to OMB and the White…

I appreciate your sensitivity to the Historically Black Colleges, unlike your soon-to-be colleague in the Cabinet who said that they were about choice or something when it came to black colleges.

It is one of the great accomplishments of government and communities and the Federal Government especially to clean this up, and we cannot backslide.

The President has proposed to cut it by 100 percent, which is just ludicrous.

I am hopeful that the standard will be high. We should send the message that American businesses--we should not be sending the message American businesses can be so successful partnering with corrupt entities.

Congratulations, Mr. Clayton, on your nomination to be the Chair of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
