I applaud your decision to hold this meeting to not only allow for additional input on these critical aspects of the position limits rule proposal, but to also take a look at the state of the agriculture economy and how that might impact the work we do at the Commission. Although the Commission’s mandate grew considerably under Title VII of Dodd-Frank, ensuring the integrity of the derivatives markets for our farmers and ranchers remains central to our mission. We should never lose sight of the fact that a vibrant futures market is essential to a robust agriculture economy in the United States and globally.
