mr. montgomery, and miss pelham was aware of that. she was aware of that at the hearing that we were all at on april 20. but my alioto's campaign wasn't. on between april 20 and april 20, they were curing these what they perceived errors or submissions that they had to cure miss pelham's office, and they didn't need to spend time curing them, because there was no error with the majority of those, because there was -- there had been a glitch with the system, and that's indicate index mr. -- indicated in mr. montgomery's e-mail, and it's indicated in miss pelham's letter. >> excuse me. i have a question. >> yeah. >> so you're referencing the e-mail from mr. montgomery to -- >> mr. malin. >> mr. malin, correct. but we actually have as attachment number five the actually e-mail that mr. montgomery sent to director pelham, and is in paragraph one says as a parenthetical. >> it's my understanding that the commission uses a different version of netfile, not netfile professional. but as the commission new, netfile professional was being used

mr. montgomery. it is bad enough that he put taxpayer money at risk by looking the other way as the banks committed fraud and then bad enough that he got rich working for those same banks, but now the senate is letting him go back and do it all over again. no way. it is finally time to crack down on the revolving door. mr. president, i'd like to speak on another matter now, and i ask consent that my speech appear in the appropriate place in the record. the presiding officer: without objection. ms. warren: mr. president, ten years ago, as the economy lurched toward a financial crisis, millions of american families braced for the impact. over the next few years almost nine million families lost their jobs and millions more lost their homes and their savings. giant banks pillars of wall street for generations, crumbled brings communities across this country with them. in the aftermath of the crisis, congress passed commonsense rules to make sure that wall street could never again crash the economy and l

mr. montgomery in the interest of making the f.h.a. a better partner to the mortgage industry, many of whom he served as a board member or advisor will lose sight of the interest that f.h.a. and consumers have. following his previous tenure at h.u.d., mr. montgomery cofounded a consulting firm, a firm that provided a range of services to financial services companies, including helping f.h.a. pafntses minimize -- participants minimize penalties from h.u.d. enfocht actions. he also sits on boards of companies whose business could be affected by f.h.a. and federal housing policies. perhaps more troubling, mr. montgomery has stated concerns about, quote, excessive enforcement efforts against mortgage lenders in the years following the mortgage crisis, including pursuing claims under the false claims act. late last year the trump administration's department of justice noted that, quote, the false claim act serves as the government's primary civil remedy to readdress false claims for government funds and property. further said the recoveries

mr. montgomery, we'll vote to advance the nomination of jelena mcwilliams, who the president has chosen to share the fdic board of directors. ms. mcwilliams' resume spans government and the private. as a lawyer, policy expert, and executive, she's studied financial regulations from all angles. she understands the fdic's role in safeguarding america's holdings, overseeing the banking sector, and reforming inefficient policies that create obstacles for families and job creators. ms. mcwilliams is especially attentive to the difficulties facing smaller community banks. in her testimony before the banking committee, she explained how government regulations inflict outsize compliance calls that can be too much to bear. she was also examined by our colleagues on the banking committee and was also reported out by a bipartisan voice vote. i would encourage all of my colleagues to join me in voting to advance her nomination later today. now, finally, speaking of community banks, yesterday marked a big step forward for local lenders across the nation who've been crushed by the regulatory burden of d

mr. montgomery and his two firms with similar names so, the campaigns would probably assume compatibility which may or may not exist or may otherwise confuse the users. the other thing is it's not every day that they are going to be tapping into the public financing law and attempting to qualify for matching funds. this is something that we do every four years and not necessarily the same people are involved. when the legislative intent was formed, we considered it would be a user-friendly system and that we would have the ability to work with the public in making sure that the system worked, and i see that as a dual responsibility. i would say that in keeping with everything i've said, this is a little bit also like the situation you have when you're filing signatures for a ballot measure, you generally don't go right to the line to qualify those signatures when you're threshold is 50,000 signatures, you generally go up and over substantially because you would expect disqualifications or troubles, so i think the campaign should really have been more aggressive and submi submia greater nu

mrs. king and my parents came together. as i said, dr. king was a young pastor in montgomery.were a young, a newly-married couple. and, you know, they talked about affairs of the day and issues that would affect families and raising children and just issues common to all people that had a vested interest in making this society a much better place in which to live. that's how the friendship started. it grew over the years. and then when dr. king made the decision to stage the selma to montgomery march from selma to montgomery, he asked my parents if they would allow him to come to this house and use this house as a planning base for the selma to montgomery march. and the rest is history, because quite literally the world came into a house that had priestly been occupy -- previously been occupied by a mother and a father and a little girl. all of a sudden it became the house that the world came to. through this room is the actual room in which dr. king held a meeting one night with some of his top advisers. this room is special also because it happens to be my room. and this was
