I am worried that if the CFTC continues to go its own way, financial firms will exit American markets.

I don't think anyone in this room would say that we got Dodd-Frank exactly right.

``If after such consideration two-thirds of that House shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent, together with the objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two-thirds of that…

I send to the desk a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 21 Resolved, That at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, January 21, 2013, the House shall proceed to the West Front…

Absent consistent regulatory standards proposed by our own domestic regulators, effective coordination between the U.S. and foreign regulators would seem virtually impossible.

Getting the Dodd-Frank regulatory scheme right is more important than getting it done quickly.

It is important that Dodd-Frank, irrespective of our ideological differences, is implemented in a way that is logical and fair.

How do you look at your budgets and decide for the American taxpayer how it makes more sense to spend money at 20 bucks a gallon for bio jet fuel versus the regular fuel when we have got resource issues across the entire spectrum including…

Chairman Gensler, do you have any reason to believe the CFTC would have uncovered this fraud sooner had it been tasked with the audit of Peregrine instead of the NFA?

We must avoid the illogical creation of a disparate regulatory environment that would result in the same market participant being a 'U.S. person' for trading in swaps while simultaneously considering them a 'non-U.S. person' for trading in…

Each crisis we see erodes the publics' trust in the institutions--both private firms and the regulators alike--that are essential to our economic growth.

Today’s hearing is not about assigning blame or finding fault for any particular event, it is about how to make the system work better for market participants.

I think that in the eyes of many Afghans, we are occupiers.

I thank the gentleman, and I yield back the balance of my time. Amendment Offered by Mr. Kucinich

I would like to engage the chairman, Mr. Young, in a colloquy if he will so engage. Mr. Chairman, I commend you and your committee for your hard work putting together this bill. The efforts by your committee and your staff to provide our…

The three bills we are discussing today each improve Dodd-Frank in meaningful ways.

Examining the rulemaking process for errors, unfinished instructions, and unintended consequences, and then fixing the mistakes is an essential part of our job.

Getting Dodd-Frank right is more important than getting it done quickly.

Congress passed an imperfect bill. That is right. You heard it here last. The Dodd-Frank bill has some mistakes in it.

An effective farm bill that supports production agriculture is also an effective jobs bill for the general economy.

While agriculture is willing to make a proportionate contribution to deficit reduction, it's vitally important that budget constraints and farm program critics not be allowed to undermine the effectiveness of our farm safety net.

One-size-fits-all has a certain elegant simplicity to it, but nobody wants that.

As a dryland producer in Texas, I have first-hand experience of the risks farmers face.

Without the safety net provided by crop insurance and other programs, all authorized by farm legislation, it would have been virtually impossible to survive that devastating loss.

Most Americans think food just shows up at the grocery store by magic.
