Remarks At The SEC Historical Society Annual Meeting By SEC Commissioner Elisse B. Walter

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.

Statement By CFTC Commissioner Scott D. O’Malia On Ensuring A Backup Plan On Cross-Border Guidance To Give Markets Certainty

Date 06/06/2013

The Commission’s exemptive relief from the cross-border application of its Dodd-Frank rules expires on July 12. As that date nears, the Commission has only been given one path forward: finalize the cross-border guidance it proposed last July, or else leave the market without any clarity on the extraterritorial application of Commission rules following the expiration of the exemptive relief. There are a number of reasons why the Commission should not be forced into implementing a take-it-or-leave-it solution tied to an arbitrary deadline. Therefore, I am asking my fellow Commissioners to join me in releasing for public comment a proposed extension of the existing exemptive relief until December 31, 2013.
