There are a lot of companies who are saying, I don't want to disclose these risks because I can't attract capital.

The Public Record
Frank Dean Lucas is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Oklahoma's 3rd congressional district since 2003. A member of the Republican Party, Lucas has focused on agricultural issues, energy policy, and rural development during his tenure in Congress.

It is worth noting that the Chair of the Financial Stability Board's Task Force is an individual who has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on campaigns to shut down American energy and chemical businesses.
Ultimately, I suspect that this will bring cost onto you and every other farmer and rancher in the United States.
We have a responsibility to not only our constituents, but the international community to see that Artemis is executed in a timely and fiscally responsible manner without sacrificing safety.
I'm confident that I speak for everyone on this Committee when I say we all support Artemis.
The Chinese Communist Party is actively soliciting international partners for a lunar mission, a lunar research station, and has stated its ambition to have astronauts on--human astronauts on the surface by 2030.
I thank my colleague for the opportunity to speak this evening on my dear friend. Chairwoman Johnson came to Congress in the regular election cycle of 1992, and I joined her 15 months later in a special election, so for 28.5 years we…
I thank Chairman McHenry for yielding time to me on this bill. First, before I address the topic at hand, I would like to take a moment to note that I have served with Chairman McHenry for his tenure in the United States Congress. I can…
That conference committee that created Dodd-Frank was the most fascinating process, where the House work product was dropped in the trash can.
I was a member of this committee during the oversight hearings held to examine the extraordinary market movement back in 2010 known as the, 'flash crash,' in which the Dow Jones lost nearly 600 points in just 5 minutes, before recovering.
I have no further speakers, and I yield myself the balance of my time. H.R. 2988, the DOE and NASA Interagency Research Coordination Act, is smart legislation that will help us stay competitive in the race to return humans to the Moon and…
Once again, I rise in support of H.R. 2980, the DOE and NSF Interagency Research Act. This will accelerate U.S. competitiveness in emerging technology areas and key economic sectors while enabling taxpayer dollars to be used more…
The House will vote this week on a Congressional Review Act resolution of disapproval to the CFPB's rule on small business lending, led by my colleague, Chairman Roger Williams.
As you know, the House will vote this week on a Congressional Review Act resolution of disapproval to the CFPB's rule on small business lending, led by my colleague, Chairman Roger Williams.
We would suggest, Director, that with the vote in the United States Senate and the efforts of Chairman Williams here in the House, Congress is going to send a very clear signal to you about how to address these issues.
The Federal Reserve has maintained that the U.S. banking system is sound and resilient with strong levels of capital liquidity.
When financial regulators implement massive policy changes under a new Administration, it creates significant uncertainty with businesses and consumers.
It seems like you are willing to study the impact on the agriculture and energy sectors.
Insurance is, has been, and should remain a State-regulated product, free from the involvement and clutches of meddling Federal bureaucrats.
If you take that capacity out of the market, you are going to have a knock-on effect into not just investment returns, but the ability of corporate communities and others to raise credit and capital.
We have heard from the witnesses today about the unprecedented pace and scope of the SEC's rulemaking agenda.
This is something that has been in the works really for a decade, and the U.S. prudential regulators have put out a proposal that really gold-plates compared to what the Europeans are doing.
These proposals, I believe, could impair market liquidity while increasing risks and costs.
Some regulations have costs and consequences that outweigh their potential benefits.
