Securities and Exchange Commission chairman Mary Schapiro express important that the action on a stock frank. Chairman schapiro said the libel make markets more transparent, stable and efficient. From George Washington University Law school, and this is 45 minutes. Good morning. I am paul berman, 19 of the law school as art said and i want to welcome you to this conference and obviously welcome Mary Schapiro, chairman of the securities and Exchange Commission. So one of the things that i think makes this law school, the George Washington University Law school distinctive and different from other top law schools is the degree to which we are integrated into the real world of law and policy practice in this country. So one of the things we are always striving to do this not be an ivory tower Academic Institution solely, but also one that is always trying to engage the practicing bar, people from corporations, people who are not lawyers in the educational enterprise and also when Public P
She was told she could have the position subject to a background check. Then macy revealed her transgender status to the Government Contractor staffing these positions. Her background check was ordered stopped by a. T. F. Soon thereafter. She received an young people stating the position was no longer available because of funding cuts, even though there was no evidence that was the case. It turns out that the number of positions available had hastily been cut from two to one and the person hired for that one position lacked most much of the experience macy had. Macy was, according to d. O. J. s decision quote very likely Better Qualified end quote than the individual actually hired for that position. So this is wrong. Ballistics matching can be the difference between a shooter in jail and a shooter who might kill again walking the streets of our neighborhoods. The person who was actually hired should be the person who can do the best job, period, regardless of whether the person is gay
Challenges, facing us today in this very different world. He said, americas leadership and prestige depend not merely upon our unmatched material progress, riches, and military strength, but on how we use our power in the interest of world peace and human betterment. Throughout americas adventure in free government, such basic purposes had been to keep the peace, to foster progress in human achievement, and to enhance liberty, dignity, and integrity among peoples and among nations. To strive for less would be unworthy of a free and religious people. Very, very wise words. Now, the challenges that face our world, our nation, and all of its institutions are great, so is our unprecedented capacity to deal with those problems. Never in the history of man has a nation possessed a world possessed so much capacity to deal with these problems. We must not fear change, but rather embrace it. To vive for less would be unworthy of our character and our purpose, and we would fail future generation

R. s and other crushing business in january tpaoepb we meet in even if we meet in january. I guess the shortest answer i can give is the following im in combat. Im in combat somewhere in the world, and im going to read, combat pay stops on december 31. Theres dozens of these kind of authorizations that are listed in general demseys letter. Dozens of them that just stop on december 31. Just take that one. Think about that.

Maybe it will be extended in january or in february, but thats totally unsatisfactory. It would be outrageous, i believe
Revis prosecutors because of defined, market value problems, all kinds of different kinds of penalties that are applicable to corporations, including debarment and suspension from Government Contracting or delicensing, like arthur anderson, so i can tell you the accepted wisdom in the defense bar is, dont even think about resisting a government overtour for a plea in a corporate context, and now the government is just going with what are called dps, not even resolving cases criminally because thats too difficult, so the department of justice reaches a civil resolution. Thank you. Justice for the committee, i just think that something that we should think, especially on our side of the aisle as conservatives we should be very concerned about the state having so much power that criminal defense phones are afraid to go to trial because they know that actually they take more risk going to trial than defending liberty and property and the things that the government should not easily take aw
