Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 8 words I yield myself the balance of my time. Procedure Thanks · 26 words Let me first of all thank Chairman Hill for his kind remarks and his astute observations on the circumstances that have brought us to this point. Thanks Claims · 87 words I will add that I believe this morning it was announced that JPMorganChase, which was the benefactor of this previous transaction, is now approaching $5 trillion in assets.1 That is indeed remarkable. Their market cap is about a trillion dollars, 2 as well. Off point I think this legislation does point to that loophole that allows megabanks to acquire failing banks even when other eligible, well- managed small and midsize banks have submitted competing bids improving community and regional bank competitiveness and preventing further consolidation among our largest financial institutions. The ask · 9 words Again, I urge my colleagues to support this bill, Procedure · 9 words and I yield back the balance of my time. Procedure
