   CALLING UPON CHAIRMAN COX TO GET RID OF MARK-TO-MARKET ACCOUNTING

  (Mr. BROUN of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BROUN of Georgia. Madam Speaker, this is a historic vote today. 
I'm sure that everyone who voted did so very thoughtfully, most of us 
very prayerfully. But, Madam Speaker, Chairman Cox, Chairman of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission, today could fix a lot of the 
problems here by, by a stroke of a pen, getting rid of mark-to-market 
accounting across the board. I call upon Mr. Cox to do so today. The 
markets will respond markedly, and I hope that he will listen and do 
so.
