Date 06/06/2013

Good afternoon, it's a pleasure to be with you today.

I want to begin by saying "thank you" to President Bruce Bennett and Carla Rosati for their work helping the SEC Historical Society to continue to grow and flourish. To my mind, it is not only an important repository of American Financial History, it is a tribute to the thousands of men and women who have committed themselves over the years to protecting American investors and ensuring the stability of our financial markets by working at, or with, the Securities and Exchange Commission. Your efforts, and those of all who contribute to the Society and support events like this one, are deeply appreciated.
