I look forward to the testimony of the witnesses and to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to develop bipartisan legislative solutions that promote job growth and business expansion while protecting investors.

ABA strongly supports the bill introduced by Senator Hutchison which would update the shareholder threshold for registration for banks to 2,000.

I was really kind of shocked that we started a couple of years ago to draw up a bill to honor the 9/11 Commission's last unfulfilled request.

There is no question that we have some philosophical differences with certainly Ms. Rosenworcel.

Mr. Pai is a highly distinguished nominee with the experience and knowledge necessary to fill this post with distinction.

I do want to say that I have had disagreements with the FCC on the amount of regulation that they are doing.

I think that both of the nominees have the required experience.

Mr. President, I appreciate the distinguished Senator from Missouri for managing the bill for our side because there are three appropriations bills included in this package. I am also pleased that we are actually passing appropriations…

That's very positive. And I'm glad to hear you say that, because the sharing, obviously, is going to create efficiency.

But, what I'm trying to do is suggest to the Administrator that we need to have the support from the President in the next submission.

I hope that's answering the question.
