|
| 00:19:30 |

DECISIONS. THE CRISIS ON WALL STREET DID NOT JUST HAPPEN. C.E.O.'S AND OTHER EXECUTIVES AT THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS MADE BAD DECISIONS, AND WE NEED...

THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
THERE IS ALREADY EXISTING LAW ON THIS SUBJECT. THIS IS CLEARLY AN IMPORTANT

MR. CAMPBELL, -
SUBJECT. I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY DISAGREEMENT THAT UNFAIR AND DECEPTIVE PRACTICES EXIST
|
| 02:16:29 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
IN THE CREDIT CARD INDUSTRY. THE QUESTION IS, HOW DO WE DEAL WITH
|
| 02:16:33 |
Campbell, John - U.S. Representative, [R] California
IT AND WHAT DO WE DO WITH IT? RIGHT NOW THERE IS EXISTING LAW. THE EXISTING LAW SAYS THAT THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS SUPPOSED TO CRACK DOWN THROUGH REGULATION...
|
| 02:22:42 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
ANTI-COMPETITIVE AND WE SHOULD ACT TO CORRECT THESE ABUSES. I YIELD TWO MINKS TO MY GOOD FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE, KEITH

DESERVES A GREAT DEAL OF CREDIT FOR THAT. I DO NOT, HOWEVER, SUPPORT THIS LEGISLATION AT THIS TIME. FOR A LOT OF THE REASONS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN...

| 02:33:07 |
Campbell, John - U.S. Representative, [R] California
CAN BE CHANGED, NOT MAKING ANY CHANGES BASED ON THE 50,000 OR 40,000. WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT LAW. SECOND, ON THIS SIDE WE ARE NOT DEFERRING TO THE FEDERAL...

ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING NATIONAL COUNCIL OF LA RAZA, LOU LACK, AND MANY OTHERS. AS CHAIRMAN OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON HIGHER EDUCATION, I'M CONCERNED...

THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE GENTLEMAN FROM NORTH CAROLINA IS RECOGNIZED FOR ONE MINUTE. MR. WILSON: MRS. MALONEY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK ON
|
| 02:37:38 |
MR. CAMPBELL, -
THIS IMPORTANT LEGISLATION. I
|
| 02:37:40 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
STAND HERE WITH GREAT PRIDE AND RESPECT THAT I SUPPORT THIS LEGISLATION. APPROXIMATELY 145 MILLION AMERICANS, ABOUT HALF THE
|
| 02:37:46 |
Maloney, Carolyn - U.S. Representative, [D] New York
POPULATION, OWN CREDIT CARDS. AMERICANS IN THE YEAR 2001 PAID $50 BILLION IN FINANCE
|
| 02:37:52 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
CHARGES, $50 BILLION. A G.A.O. STUDY ON CREDIT CARDS
|
| 02:37:57 |
Jones, Walter B. Jr. - U.S. Representative, [R] North Carolina
FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY NEW TYPES OF FEES, NEW TYPES OF FEES ON CARDS, AND THEY HAVE RISEN MUCH FASTER THAN INFLATION. THE G.A.O. ALSO FOUND THAT FEES...

THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
FOR PURPOSES OF A COLLOQUY. AND I RECOGNIZE HIM FOR THREE MINUTES. THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE GENTLEMAN IS RECOGNIZED FOR
|
| 02:39:06 |
MR. CAMPBELL, -
THREE MINUTES. MR. PRICE: I WANT TO THANK HER
|
| 02:39:09 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
FIRST FOR BRINGING THIS BILL TO THE FLOOR. AND FOR HER HARD WORK TO PROTECT THE INTERESTS OF CREDIT
|
| 02:39:15 |
MRS. MALONEY, -
CARDHOLDERS. I'D LIKE TO MAKE THIS BODY AWARE OF A RELATED BILL THAT I'VE INTRODUCED, ALONG WITH SEVERAL CO-SPONSORS, THE CREDIT CARD REPAYMENT...
|
| 02:39:24 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
INFORMATION ON THEIR MONTHLY STATEMENTS. FOR EXAMPLE, HOW LONG WOULD IT
|
| 02:39:28 |
MR. PRICE, -
TAKE THE CONSUMERS TO PAY OFF THEIR ENTIRE BALANCE MAKING ONLY THE MINIMUM MONTHLY PAYMENT, AND HOW MUCH WOULD THEY PAY OVER TIME INCLUDING PRINCIPAL...
|
| 02:40:26 |
Lowey, Nita - U.S. Representative, [D] New York
TO IMPLEMENT THESE IMPORTANT CHANGES. I YIELD BACK TO THE GENTLEMAN FROM NORTH CAROLINA. MR. PRICE: I'M HAPPY TO YIELD TO THE GENTLEMAN FROM VIRGINIA,...
|
| 02:40:52 |
MR. PRICE, -
AND HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE THEM TO PAY IT. AND IF THEY KNOW THEY WILL BE PAYING MUCH
|
| 02:40:57 |
Moran, James "Jim" - U.S. Representative, [D] Virginia
MORE THAN THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE AND THEY WILL BE PAYING IT FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES, THEY MIGHT DO THE RIGHT THING. IT WOULD BE THE RIGHT THING FOR...
|
| 02:41:29 |
MR. PRICE, -
DECIDE HOW TO MANAGE THEIR MONEY MORE EFFICIENTLY AND BETTER. I COMMEND THE GENTLEMAN
|
| 02:41:34 |
Maloney, Carolyn - U.S. Representative, [D] New York
FROM NORTH CAROLINA FOR HIS EFFORTS TO PROVIDE CONSUMERS WITH ROBUST INFORMATION. AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH HIM ON INCLUDING THESE PROVISIONS....
|
| 02:42:05 |
MR. PRICE, -
AS THOUGH THEY ARE DEBATING FOR CERTAIN -- CHANGING CERTAIN THINGS IN
|
| 02:42:09 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
CREDIT CARDS AS THOUGH WE ARE DEBATING AGAINST THAT. WE'RE NOT. WHAT WE ARE
|
| 02:42:14 |
MR. CAMPBELL, -
HERE SAYING IS SIMPLELY THAT THIS
|
| 02:42:17 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
KIND OF THING IS BETTER DONE BY
|
| 02:42:20 |
Campbell, John - U.S. Representative, [R] California
REGULATION THAN IT IS BY PRESCRIPTIVE STATUTE, WHICH IS WHAT THIS BILL WOULD DO. AND THAT ACTUALLY IT WILL BE MORE EFFECTIVE IN PROTECTING THE CONSUMERS...
|
| 02:43:38 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
RULE. THE FEDERAL RESERVE AND TWO OTHER REGULATORS SUPPORT THE SUBSTANCE OF THE BILL. THE ADMINISTRATION OPPOSES
|
| 02:43:45 |
Maloney, Carolyn - U.S. Representative, [D] New York
PROVISIONS OF MY BILL THAT ARE IDENTICAL TO THE FED RULE. SO IT WOULD BE ONE THING IF YOU SUPPORTED THE REGULATIONS YOU SO PASSIONATELY ARGUE WE SHOULD...
|
| 02:44:47 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
PEOPLE WITH CREDIT CARDS. FOR MANY AMERICANS, CONSUMER CREDIT IS MORE THAN A CONVENIENCE, THEY RELY ON
|
| 02:44:54 |
MRS. MALONEY, -
IT FOR EVERYDAY NEEDS,
|
| 02:44:55 |
MR. UDALL, -
FOR THEM IT'S A NECESSITY.
|
| 02:44:57 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
BUT THEY AREN'T ALWAYS TREATED FAIRLY BY THE COMPANIES THAT ISSUE THE
|
| 02:45:01 |
Udall, Mark - U.S. Representative, [D] Colorado
CREDIT CARDS THEY USE. I'VE HEARD FROM MANY PEOPLE IN MY STATE OF COLORADO ASKING ME TO HELP LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD. THEY WORK TO DO THE RIGHT THING...
|
| 02:46:52 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
PRO TEMPORE: THE GENTLEWOMAN IS RECOGNIZED FOR TWO MINUTES. MS. SANCHEZ: THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER.
|
| 02:46:58 |
Maloney, Carolyn - U.S. Representative, [D] New York
AND I WANT TO THANK MRS. MALONEY OF NEW YORK FOR COMING UP WITH THIS, FOR WORKING WITH SO MANY OF US, BECAUSE WE HAD HEARD FROM SO MANY OF THE PEOPLE...
|
| 02:47:12 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
FAIRER TYPES OF PRACTICES FOR CREDIT CARDS.
|
| 02:47:16 |
Sanchez, Loretta - U.S. Representative, [D] California
SO I RISE TODAY AS A CO-SPONSOR OF THIS BILL AND WHILE THE ECONOMIC CRISIS ON WALL STREET IS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF EVERY NEWSPAPER, MANY AMERICAN FAMILIES...
|

THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
REMAINING. MRS. MALONEY: I YIELD TO KEITH

THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
ELLISON. THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE GENTLEMAN

MRS. MALONEY, -
IS RECOGNIZED. MR. ELLISON: WILL THE GENTLEMAN
|
| 02:49:40 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
YIELD? THE GENTLEMAN MADE THE POINT THAT INTEREST RATES WILL GO UP AND CREDIT WILL
|
| 02:49:50 |
MRS. MALONEY, -
DECLINE. IS THE GENTLEMAN SAYING THE
|
| 02:49:55 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
CREDIT CARDS WILL PUNISH
|
| 02:49:59 |
Ellison, Keith - U.S. Representative, [D] Minnesota
RESPONSIBLE CARDHOLDERS? MR. CAMPBELL: IT WOULD NOT BE A RETALIATORY BASIS, IT'S BECAUSE THE CREDIT MARKETS ARE IN GREAT TURMOIL AND BECAUSE THEY ARE...
|
| 02:50:25 |
Campbell, John - U.S. Representative, [R] California
THE FED SAYS IS DECEPTIVE, IF THEY ARE PROSCRIBED, YOU BELIEVE THAT'S SOMETHING THE CREDIT CARD COMPANIES WILL REACT WITH INTEREST RATE INCREASES ON...
|
| 02:50:42 |
Ellison, Keith - U.S. Representative, [D] Minnesota
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE GENTLEMAN'S TIME IS EXPIRED. THE GENTLEMAN FROM CALIFORNIA. MR. CAMPBELL: I YIELD MYSELF A MINUTE TO RESPOND TO THAT. ...
|
| 02:50:56 |
MR. CAMPBELL, -
STOP, THE FEDERAL RESERVE WILL DO THAT, BUT BY STEPPING IN NOW, THEY WILL BE CONSIDERING ALL THE RESPONSES THEY GOT AND BY
|
| 02:51:02 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
THE WAY, THE GENTLELADY FROM NEW YORK MENTIONED THE CREDIT CARD COMPANIES ARE AGAINST THE
|
| 02:51:07 |
MR. CAMPBELL, -
FEDERAL RESERVE PROPOSAL, I'M SURE THEY ARE, BUT THE FEDERAL
|
| 02:51:10 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
RESERVE WILL MAKE THE DECISION THEY BELIEVE IS
|
| 02:51:13 |
Campbell, John - U.S. Representative, [R] California
RIGHT BASED ON THE STATUTE WHICH SAYS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO CRACK DOWN ON UNFAIR AND DECEPTIVE PRACTICES. WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO IS SEND MORE MESSAGES...
|
| 02:51:58 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
AT OUR SIX HEARINGS FOR SOME EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT
|
| 02:52:01 |
Maloney, Carolyn - U.S. Representative, [D] New York
THIS CLAIM AND THEY HAD NONE. THE FEDERAL RESERVE AND THE GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE HAVE SAID IN REPORTS THAT THERE ARE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE...
|

THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
RESETS HAVE HELPED CAUSE THE
|
| 02:53:56 |
Shays, Christopher - U.S. Representative, [R] Connecticut
HOUSING MARKET TO DETIER YORE ATE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED HAD WE ACTED EARLIER. WITH THIS LEGISLATION WE ARE ACTING RESPONSEABLY IN MY JUDGMENT,...
|
| 02:55:15 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
OUR COLLEAGUE AND FRIEND MR. CAMPBELL, REGARDING WHETHER OR NOT DECEPTIVE PRACTICES,
|
| 02:55:20 |
MR. CAMPBELL, -
PRACTICES THAT HAVE BEEN DEEMED DECEPTIVE
|
| 02:55:23 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
BY THE FED AND THAT
|
| 02:55:26 |
MRS. MALONEY, -
ARE PROSCRIBED IN THIS LEGISLATION TODAY, WHETHER THESE WILL RESULT IN RATE
|
| 02:55:31 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
INCREASES AND LACK OF AVAILABILITY, THEY
|
| 02:55:34 |
Ellison, Keith - U.S. Representative, [D] Minnesota
WILL DO THE OPPOSITE. THEY WILL PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY, THEY'LL PROVIDE FAIR RULES AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THEY'LL HELP TO KEEP GOOD LENDERS GOOD. IF YOU...
|
| 02:56:38 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
REGULATIONS THERE IS AT LEAST
|
| 02:56:41 |
Campbell, John - U.S. Representative, [R] California
SOME AUTHORITATIVE BELIEF THAT THAT WILL HAPPEN. NOW I'D LIKE TO YIELD FOUR MINUTES TO A MEMBER OF THE FINANCIAL SERVICES COMMITTEE, THE LADY FROM MINNESOTA,...
|
| 02:57:12 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
SPEAKER, GIVEN THE PRESSING NEED FOR THIS UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO FOCUS ON THE
|
| 02:57:17 |
Bachmann, Michele M. - U.S. Representative, [R] Minnesota
FINANCIAL SERVICES BAILOUT THAT IS NOW BEFORE US, THIS BILL IS SIMPLY NOT WHAT THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS SHOULD BE DEBATING TODAY. IN FACT, THIS BILL...
|
| 03:01:24 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
WHO ARE IMPACTED MOST FROM THESE STRESSFUL TIMES?
|
| 03:01:27 |
MR. CAMPBELL, -
WE ARE
|
| 03:01:29 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
IMPRUDENT TO SAY THE LEAST IF WE DO NOT ALLOW FOR
|
| 03:01:33 |
Bachmann, Michele M. - U.S. Representative, [R] Minnesota
THAT COMMENT. I COULD NOT SUPPORT THIS BILL, MADAM SPEAKER, WHEN IT MOVED OUT OF COMMITTEE BECAUSE IT WAS IMPRUDENT TO JUMP AHEAD AND GIVEN THIS NEW INSTABILITY...
|
| 03:02:32 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
THAT
|
| 03:02:35 |
Maloney, Carolyn - U.S. Representative, [D] New York
REGZ THE BILL. IT'S NOT THE SAME. REGZ, FROM THE FEDERAL RESERVE, DEALS JUST WITH DISCLOSURE. AND THE FEDERAL RESERVE SAID DISCLOSURE IS NOT ENOUGH....
|
| 03:03:26 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
SUBCOMMITTEE. THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE GENTLEMAN IS
|
| 03:03:29 |
MR. CAMPBELL, -
RECOGNIZED FOR FIVE MINUTES. MR. HENSARLING: I THANK THE GENTLEMAN
|
| 03:03:33 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
FOR HIS LEADERSHIP. I UNDERSTAND THE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THE GENTLELADY'S BILL AND HER INTENT IS GOOD. UNFORTUNATELY, I BELIEVE THE
|
| 03:03:39 |
Campbell, John - U.S. Representative, [R] California
POLICY IS BAD. IT IS ENTITLED THE CREDIT CARD BILL OF RIGHTS ACT. I FEAR IF ENACTED IT WILL BE A
|
| 03:03:47 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
CREDIT CARD BILL OF WRONGS FOR CREDIT CARDHOLDERS ALL
|
| 03:03:51 |
Hensarling, Jeb - U.S. Representative, [R] Texas
OVER WORK. I VIEW IT AS A MOST DECISIVELY ANTI-CONSUMER PIECE OF LEGISLATION. MADAM SPEAKER, I BELIEVE THAT THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION HELPS TURN BACK...
|
| 03:08:49 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
MAY INCREASE LOAN RATES ACROSS THE BOARD ON ALL BORROWERS MAKING
|
| 03:08:52 |
MR. CAMPBELL, -
IT MORE EXPENSIVE FOR GOOD AND DELINQUENT BORROWERS TO USE
|
| 03:08:55 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
REVOLVING CREDIT. ISSUERS MAY INCREASE MINIMUM
|
| 03:08:59 |
Hensarling, Jeb - U.S. Representative, [R] Texas
MONTHLY PAYMENTS, REDUCE CREDIT LIMITS, REDUCE THE NUMBER OF CREDIT CARDS FOR DELINQUENT PEOPLE, UNQUOTE. WE'VE SEEN A SIMILAR OF PIECE -- PIECE OF LEGISLATION...
|
| 03:10:00 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
CALIFORNIA. MR. CAMPBELL: I YIELD TO THE GENTLEMAN FROM DELAWARE FOR TWO
|
| 03:10:04 |
Maloney, Carolyn - U.S. Representative, [D] New York
MINUTES. THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE GENTLEMAN IS RECOGNIZED FOR TWO MINUTES. MR.
|
| 03:10:10 |
MR. CAMPBELL, -
CASTLE: I WANT TO RAISE A COUPLE OF POINTS THAT THE SPONSOR OF THE BILL RAISED. THE CREDIT CARD COMPANIES OPPOSE WHAT IS HAPPENING AT THE FEDERAL RESERVE....
|
| 03:10:19 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
LEGISLATION, WHICH IS HERE. THAT MAY BE ACCURATE TO A
|
| 03:10:21 |
MR. CAMPBELL, -
DEGREE. BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF FACTORS. ONE IS THAT MANY OF THE BETTER
|
| 03:10:26 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
CREDIT CARD COMPANIES, BETTER BEING THE ONES THAT ARE PAYING ATTENTION
|
| 03:10:30 |
Castle, Michael N. - U.S. Representative, [R] Delaware
TO PRACTICES, HAVE ALREADY MADE A NUMBER OF THE CHANGES PROPOSE BOTH BY THE FEDERAL RESERVE AND WHAT IS IN THIS LEGISLATION. SECONDLY, I CERTAINLY SUPPORT...
|
| 03:12:30 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
AND FRANKLY FOR HER TENACITY WITH THIS ISSUE. BUT THIS BILL,
|
| 03:12:36 |
Campbell, John - U.S. Representative, [R] California
MAKE NO MISTAKE, WILL NOT HELP CONSUMERS, IT WILL HURT CONSUMERS. UNFAIR AND DECEPTIVE PRACTICES WILL BE DEALT WITH ON A REGULATORY BASIS AS THEY SHOULD...
|
| 03:13:44 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
VOTE FOR DELAY AND WEAKENING BY WAITING FOR SOME
|
| 03:13:49 |
Maloney, Carolyn - U.S. Representative, [D] New York
ACTION THAT MAY HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. IF YOU SUPPORT THESE REFORMS THAT HAVE BEEN CALLED UNFAIR AND DECEPTIVE, I HOPE YOU WILL JOIN US IN A BIPARTISAN...
|
| 03:16:06 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -

| 03:17:04 |
MR. CASTLE, -
PROVISIONS
|
| 03:17:05 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
OF THE ACT WILL NOT RESULT IN A REDUCTION IN THE AVAILABILITY
|
| 03:17:08 |
THE CLERK, -
OF CREDIT COVERED BY THIS ACT TO SMALL BUSINESS, VETERANS, AND MINORITIES. THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: PURSUANT TO THE RULE, THE GENTLEMAN FROM DELAWARE...
|
| 03:17:34 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
MATTER OF CREDIT. WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO IS MAKE SURE THERE IS NOT A REDUCTION IN THE AVAILABILITY OF CREDIT COVERED BY THIS ACT
|
| 03:17:41 |
Castle, Michael N. - U.S. Representative, [R] Delaware
TO CERTAIN GROUPS, SMALL BUSINESSES, VETERANS, OR MINORITIES THERE IS A CONCERN THAT AS YOU START TO MAKE SOME OF THESE SHIFTS YOU COULD HAVE A -- A CREDIT...

MRS. MALONEY: I'M OPPOSED TO THE MOTION. THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE GENTLEWOMAN
