Remarks Of CFTC Commissioner Rostin Behnam At The 2018 ISDA Annual Japan Conference, Shangri-La Hotel, Tokyo, Our Collective Strength

Date 26/10/2018

Introduction

Thank you for the kind introduction; it is a great pleasure and honor to join you today.  I want to thank Scott O’Malia and the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) for organizing this event and for bringing us together.  Before I begin, please allow me to remind you that the views I express today are my own and do not represent the views of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC” or “Commission”) or my fellow Commissioners. 

As you will see, that reminder appears in the text of these remarks.  I haven’t always remembered to include such language in the text, and I often assume that it is understood that although I am part of the Commission, I am not the Commission.  The Commission comprises five commissioners, who are appointed by the President and approved by the Senate, who serve five-year staggered terms.  No more than three of the five commissioners may be members of the same political party. The President appoints one of the commissioners as Chairman, and it is the Chairman who oversees the administrative functions of the Commission, such as supervising Commission personnel and directing their work agenda.

Good morning. Thank you Susan [Olson], and thank you, all, for the opportunity to join you today.

You also will hear from my colleagues about many other projects later today. Paul Cellupica, our Deputy Director and Chief Counsel, will join the Regulatory Developments panel this morning.
