  • Speech By SEC Commissioner Kathleen L. Casey: Proposed Rules For Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations

    Date 19/05/2011

    Thank you, Chairman Schapiro. It almost goes without saying how much appreciation is due the staff working on today’s release. But it is particularly noteworthy and worthwhile to recognize the work of Randall Roy. For many who have waded into the credit rating reform debate following the crisis, they may have missed the fact that the SEC and, in particular great folks like Randall, have been engaged in rating agency reforms, pretty much non-stop, over the past 5 years since the passage of the 2006 Rating Agency Reform Act. He has done so while at the same time coordinating on the consideration of many of these issues internationally as well. It would be difficult to overstate his tremendous work and effort on these issues. So, I truly want to commend him today.

  • Opening Statement, Agricultural Advisory Committee - CFTC Commissioner Scott O’Malia

    Date 19/05/2011

    Thank you Commissioner Dunn for hosting today’s meeting of the Agricultural Advisory Committee. I look forward to the staff presentations and I am interested in hearing from the committee members on the margin, swap dealer and position limit proposals. I look forward to a healthy discussion in each of these areas. I don’t think it’s ever a bad idea to take the time to stop and reassess where you are going in order to make sure you’re still moving in the right direction, especially when you lack a road map.
