Testimony Of CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler Before The House Committee On Agriculture Subcommittee On General Farm Commodities And Risk Management, March 3, 2010

Good morning Chairman Boswell, Ranking Member Moran and members of the Subcommittee. Thank you for inviting me to testify regarding the implementation of changes to the Commodity Exchange Act contained in the 2008 Farm Bill. I am please to testify on behalf of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). I will focus my testimony today on three principal issues: the CFTC’s use of existing authorities to fulfill our mission, the need for additional authorities to oversee the over-the-counter derivatives marketplace and the need for additional resources to best protect the American public.
