                        ENACT WALL STREET REFORM

  (Mr. LANGEVIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my strong support 
for the work being done to crack down on Wall Street and enact reform 
to prevent another economic collapse. We absolutely must create an 
environment in which corporations are held accountable to shareholders, 
employees, and customers.
  That's why I plan to reintroduce the Federal Employees Responsible 
Investment Act, to add a socially responsible investment option to the 
Thrift Savings Plan. Making an investment in companies that are 
committed to corporate responsibility will have a positive impact on 
our financial system, and empower individuals to reward companies that 
share their values.
  We absolutely must do everything in our power to move our economy 
forward, and I urge all my colleagues to support good corporate 
governance and legislation that ends Wall Street's gambling with our 
hard-earned dollars.
