    Statement on House of Representatives Passage of Bankruptcy Reform
    Legislation
    April 14, 2005

        I commend the House for acting in bipartisan fashion to curb abuses
    of the bankruptcy system. These commonsense reforms will make the system
    stronger and better so that more Americans--especially lower income
    Americans--have greater access to credit. I look forward to signing the
    bill into law.
