mr. williams, let's turn back to the mueller probe here. what happened in court today? how does alex van der zwaan, how does he fit into the mueller investigation. >> peripherally i think is the best answer to that. what he lied about is not the question of whether the manafort and gates were helping the russians and the campaign. what the government says he lied about is work that his law firm did for the government of ukraine, a report commissioned by the former president about the -- about the prosecution of his predecessor, his law firm wrote that report. representing ukraine at the time. that's what the government says he lied about. his lawyers said, look, he initially lied to them. we admit that. he came back in december and tried to set the record straight. you have to give him credit for that. the government says yes, he came back, but he had a grand jury subpoena. that's why he came back. and he came clean only grudgingly. at the end of the day, the judge said i have to send a message with this sentence. i have to make sure that it promotes respect for the law

mr. williams. what you make of the team that's coming in. has signaled that it is ok on the bill because there are right on the release of the community banks but not on the supplemental leverage ratio on the big banks. there have been no major changes in the regulation so far so i will keep my fingers crossed that there is no serious weakening but we just really don't know yet. there are a lot of vacancies to fill on the board and in key spots like the new york fed president, it looks like it will be filled by an insider, john williams. that was disappointing to me as well. there were good women candidates and i was hoping they would bring in a woman and break the white male tradition. nothing against white males but there are good females as well. my view for the new york fed is that they need someone with supervisory credentials and someone who understands bond markets and they had two women candidates. maryerved on the board and miller who is deep experience with the bond markets and both would have been excellent. another fed needs mone

mr. williams. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for 1 1/2 minutes. mr. williams: mr. speaker, i rise today in support of h.r. 4790, the volcker rule regulatory harmonization act. i appreciate my colleague from arkansas, mr. french hill, for his leadership on this issue. over 930 pages, section 619 of dodd-frank, otherwise known as the volcker rule, is as lengthy as it is complex and confusing. the volcker rule is framed as a solution in search of a problem which no longer exists. there are five agencies that oversee the volcker rule. these five agencies have legal mandates and regulatory missions which led to duplicative rules. in the 25th district of banks, community banks are struggling to get by and wonder why they have five different regulators knocking on their doors with the same issue. h.r. 4790 would streamline regulatory authority over the volcker rule by giving the federal reserve exclusive rulemaking authority. in other words, banks won't have five different regulators coming to them about the same regulation. as a result, main street will be able to breath

mr. williams is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. vice chairman good to have you with us today. it's been 8 years since dodd frank was enacted and only now is the signs showing recovery. the role you play for vice president as supervision is crucial on tackling some of the issues plaguing this committee for so long. i hope you'll be a catalyst for change and become far too long for immune to change. our -- and deregulation and modernized tack code that's propelling main street toward gains. my first comment is we must protect -- recently complete a small business credit survey which include that credit needs continue to go unmet. as a small business owner myself for 47 years i know all too well the difficulty some of those companies face. now that congress's passed tack reform to help develop main street, what actions will you take to ensure small businesses can l have their credit needs met? >> i think the principle that we can take, and we have begun to do this is release the burden on smaller banks. the banks that tend to provide

mr. ring would join recently confirmed board member william emanuel who had represented corporations. five months after mr. emanuel's appointment, the nlrb was forced to vacate a major decision related to employer liability due to his conflicts of interest. and yet the administration continues full steam ahead with new nominees with extensive corporate ties and conflicts of interest. this administration is also breaking precedent and all conception of fairness by refusing to nominate new nlrb members in a bipartisan pair. despite a pending democratic vacancy on the panel, the president and senate majority leader have instead chosen a partisan approach, doubling down on the one-sided nature of a supposedly independent federal agency. this is simply unacceptable development and it is an ongoing effort to silence our nation's workers. protecting american workers, the american middle class, and the american dream should not be a partisan issue. and i'm deeply concerned with mr. ring's appointment to the nlrb, if confirmed to the five-member board, the majority of the agency charged with pr
