                       INVESTIGATE GOLDMAN SACHS

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, this week the Securities and Exchange 
Commission alleges, in a rather unusually constructed civil case, 
Goldman Sachs committed fraud. But there is growing concern that 
evidence presented in this case could be excluded from any subsequent 
criminal case that might be filed by the U.S. Department of Justice.
  Thus, I invite my colleagues to join me and several dozen Members in 
signing onto a letter to Attorney General Holder asking him to 
investigate Goldman Sachs and other related cases to ferret out and 
fight fraud in our financial system. Legal maneuvering to thwart 
justice should not be allowed through those who harmed our Republic so 
maliciously.
  In addition, I urge my colleagues to sign onto H.R. 3995, which 
enhances the FBI's, SEC's, and Department of Justice's capabilities to 
investigate and prosecute fraud and other financial crimes. Our 
citizens demand justice. Those who committed financial crimes must be 
brought to justice. Our letter and H.R. 3995 lead exactly in that 
direction.
