If at the end of May we don't, we'll reform, regroup, decide how we're going to go about it, but if the task force can't come up with the bill, I'm going to push mine, and go ahead and make the changes in it that we've been working on now for a year or two and just go for it.

We must pursue immigration reform - it's something we have to do, something that starts with border security.

I believe that we have to have a new regulatory regime for our financial system.

So now we are pushing economic reform, bank reform and enterprise reform. So we can finish that reform this year, in September or October. Then our economy may be much more, you know, normalized.

We've seen more reform in the last year than we've seen in decades, and we haven't spent a dime yet. It's staggering how the Recovery Act is driving change.

Like all of my colleagues, I believe financial reform is necessary now.

This country, of course, needs fundamental reform of our financial regulatory system, as I, and many other financial institution executives, have publicly advocated for a considerable period.

We will as soon as possible reexamine our laws and policies and eliminate all obstacles to genuine investment.

We have to change course. And we have to do so now. That is why I worked with my colleagues in Washington to pass the Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

We don't have a good legal justification for breaking up the banking system. But if I could wave a magic wand, I'd break up the banking system.
