Address By CFTC Commissioner J. Christopher Giancarlo Before The ABA Business Law Section, Derivatives & Futures Law Committee Winter Meeting - A Pro-Reform Reconsideration Of The CFTC Swaps Trading Rules

Date 06/02/2015

Introduction

Thank you for the kind introduction.

Let me begin with the disclaimer that my remarks today reflect my own views and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC or Commission), my fellow Commissioners or the CFTC staff.

It is an honor to speak to you today. I see so many truly distinguished members of the derivatives bar. This is an impressive gathering.

For those of you who don’t know, I play the banjo. Do you know why playing the banjo is a lot like throwing a javelin blindfolded? It is because you don't have to be very good to get people's attention. That probably also applies to being a CFTC Commissioner, at least in my case.
