mr. walsh to get to think for massachusetts i could get the same street. >> in any case i agree with all that was said and we appreciate the distinction. >> let me summarize, we've ten seconds. i think it's very clear of people don't like the rules don't like the rules but if you look at the implantation and the way the regulators work, the notion people are going to be scared away from doing market-making because of excessive rigidity i think has no real foundation and i am encouraged to know that these five regulators all are committed to making sure the process goes forward and understand the importance of the regulatory framework in which people are encouraged to do that. thank you. >> i would like to recognize the chairman of the full committee for questions for five minutes. >> thank you. i would cite the ranking member's famous last words. if you don't seem to be cutting some individual regulator or examiner will not misinterpret it you are asking and i think every witness has said you a

my question for you would be is, in fact, mr. walshidea? i'm not surprised about the not shedding a tear part. >> i think peter is right to say that it's probably not the united states. that's certainly my sense of it in talking to administration officials regularly. i think israel is at the top of the list, and for reasons that go to history. israel had an assassination program against egyptian scientists in their missile program in the 1960s. it had an assassination program against iraqi nuclear scientists. while there are others, saudi arabia and others, who might have an incentive to do something here, israel stands at the top of the list. in the days after this killing, after this murder, they have been more talkative than they normally are about these subjects. so i think the betting person would probably bet on israel. >> jim, when we see what iran has claimed over the last week, which is that they have enriched their uranium to 20%, weapons rate is 90%, how close are they to achieving weapons grade? are they close to achieving

the chair would recognize another the gentleman from illinois, mr. walsh. >> thank you for hosting this hearing. mr. jarvis, welcome. and i apologize if i want to pull us back and get some context. it's always so dangerous at hearings because we focus on things we maybe shouldn't be focused on. i want to focus on one very specific notion. there is a statute i believe that says camping is illegal, camping in mcfierceon park is against the -- mcpherson park is against the law, is that correct? >> that's correct. >> and you handed out a document early on in the occupy d.c. protest to the folks at mcpherson park that i found quite helpful, spelled out the definition of camping, that you and i both agree, is not allowed and it says -- i don't have my glasses, but it says camping is defined as the use of parkland for living purposes such as sleeping activities or making preparations to sleep, including the laying down of bedding for the purpose of sleeping or storing personal belongings or using any tents or structure or fixture for sleeping or digging or earth

with that, mr. walsh from illinois is recognized. >> thank you. i appreciate you sticking around. i will be brief, and i apologize if i'm redundant. i missed a chunk of the hearing, but, again, thank you for spending time. >> if you're redun adapt, i'll have answered it before, and i should have an answer, good. >> small business in the country is dying. they are not growing. they are not hiring no matter what the president says tonight, that's not going to change. what i hear over and over back home is they are scared to death with all the uncertainty coming out of washington and to a wan and a woman, they feel overregulated like you wouldn't believe, big and small. as importantly, what we hear from small businesses every day is they can't access credit. i chair a subcommittee access to growth, and we held a meeting bringing in the heads of three or four community banks and asked them why aren't you lending? they all said they can't. their hands are tied. they eluded to dodd-frank and all these regulations. it seems like whatever we do up here, the big banks, big business is able
