Introduction

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for your warm welcome. It is a pleasure to be with you today.

Before I begin, let me say that my remarks reflect my own views and do not necessarily constitute the views of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC or Commission), my fellow CFTC commissioners or the CFTC staff.

In June of this year I celebrated my first anniversary as a commissioner of the CFTC. As a new market regulator and a long-standing supporter of thoughtful swaps market reform, I have met with fellow global financial regulators in Washington, Chicago, New York, Geneva, London, Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong. I have spoken to and heard from market participants in the U.S., Europe and Asia, from hedge funds to large corporations, from commodities traders to major money center banks and from futures exchanges to swap execution facilities. I have also met with many energy and agricultural derivative end-users, such as coal miners, oil refiners, natural gas producers and electricity utility operators, dairymen, crop farmers and heavy equipment manufacturers.
