                           WALL STREET REFORM

  (Ms. FUDGE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. FUDGE. Madam Speaker, Wall Street reform is critical to creating 
jobs and growing our economy. As we rebuild America, we must ensure 
that Wall Street won't gamble again with our futures.
  I support the Restoring American Financial Stability Act because it 
includes commonsense reforms to hold Wall Street and the big banks 
accountable. This bill will end bailouts by ensuring taxpayers are 
never again on the hook for Wall Street's risky decisions and will rein 
in big banks and their big bonuses. It protects families' retirement 
funds, college savings, homes and businesses' financial futures from 
unnecessary risk by lenders.
  It also safeguards the American people from predatory lending abuses, 
which resulted in millions of foreclosures over the past few years.
  The American people deserve and want these reforms. Let's give 
Americans what they deserve: fairness in the financial system.
