<p><span>Today, the Commission is considering a proposal on cybersecurity practices for broker-dealers, clearinghouses, and other market entities. I am pleased to support this proposal because, if adopted, it would set standards for these market entities’ cybersecurity practices.</span></p>
<p>Today, the Commission is considering whether to adopt amendments to important features of the clearing and settling process. I support this adoption because it will reduce latency, lower risk, and promote efficiency as well as greater liquidity in the markets.</p>

<p><span>Today, the Commission voted to propose rules to strengthen the governance of registered clearing agencies, also known as clearinghouses. This proposal would, among other things, fulfill Section 765 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, where Congress directed the Commission to address conflicts of interest for security-based swap clearinghouses. I was pleased to support this proposal because, if adopted, it would enhance governance standards for all registered clearinghouses, particularly with regards to conflicts of interest. This would help to promote their transparency, resilience, and reliability.</span></p>

<p><span>Today, the Commission unanimously proposed two rules further defining a dealer to help identify principal trading firms (PTFs) and firms conducting similar activities that must register with the SEC. I was pleased to support this proposal because I believe it reflects Congress’s statutory intent that firms engaging in important liquidity-providing roles in the securities markets, including in the U.S. Treasury market, be registered with the Commission. Further, requiring all firms that regularly make markets, or otherwise perform important liquidity-providing roles, to register as dealers or government securities dealers also could help level the playing field among firms and enhance the resiliency of our markets.</span></p>
