I would hope that we could continue that type of progress, and I know you will be sensitive to that, going forward.

The issue of climate change is absolutely critical. It is an economic issue.

Well, thank you. I concur.

Well, thank you very much. And one other aspect is that this is a novel, or at least a fairly recent, phenomenon and it requires a great deal of thought, analysis, and projecting as to what we should do.

A critical part of our economy is the ability of the Federal Reserve to control money supply.

That is absolutely correct. There have been occasions where we have had--once we got the substitute adopted--in some cases, no amendments and we went to final passage, ultimately, and in other cases, just a handful of amendments. Last…

Can you look at and try to develop the ERA guidelines to emphasize how funds can be appropriately used for homelessness?

Thinking back to the LIBOR crisis, it was not expert, it was self-interest that caused the deviations from what everyone thought was a completely interest-free measure.

This is a very important topic.

So essentially one of the goals would be to maintain a constant, in parentheses, rate, one that a borrower expected to have throughout the course of the contract.

I have great confidence in you. I was very pleased to support you, and you are doing, I think, remarkable work to protect consumers throughout the country.

I think that is really a huge gap in our knowledge of what is going on.

I think if these credit funds want to operate as investment banks, they should be regulated in the same way.

We believe that ultimately in order for humanitarian assistance to flow the Taliban has to allow that to happen within the country.

We are facing a very challenging, very daunting, and very complex situation in Afghanistan.

President Biden owes it to the people he was elected to serve to address these concerns without further delay.
