under the then-chairman henry waxman the committee approved this legislation by a voice vote. the house and senate then adopted it, and the bill was signed into law by president bush in 2008. in my opinion, this is how we should approach today's hearing. by working together in a bipartisan manner to ensure that oversight is rigorous and constructive. today we will discuss ig vacancies at federal agencies. right now seven ig positions are vacant that require presidential nominations and senate confirmations. although the president has nominated several candidates who are waiting -- awaiting senate confirmation, he has yet to nominate others. in addition, an existing vacancy at the special inspector general for afghanistan reconstruction requires a presidential nomination but not a senate confirmation. we all agree that we should have highly qualified, dedicated professionals in place at every ig office across the federal government. personally i am most concerned that the administration has not nominated anyone to serve the state department ig. the last senate-confirmed state d

dingle and henry waxman, you've devoted your careers to do one thing, try to keep big capitalism tamed the average person. it seems to me that romney is saying, don't do that. it just seems to me he and jp morgan say, leave us alone, let us make some money, stay out of our way and the country will be better off. >> he has said that explicitly. he said we should repeal the financial law. frankly, the bill isn't as tough as i want it to be in a couple derivatives. it's still tough enough, but romney said we should repeal it. he was saying consistently we should repeal t. a week ago after the jp morgan screw-up, he amended that to say it should be repealed and replaced. that is in the latest of what i call a series of remits. a remit is when romney has to change his position because he's in a different political place. as we talk now, as of a week ago, the republicans put it through the committee, of which i'm now a minority leader, that would have removed any regulation over the type of trade that jp morgan was engaged in at all, whether it was done by a bank or not. we should remember,
