This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/curej/168 For more information, please contact [email protected]. A Tale of Two Movements: Consumer Protection in the U.S. from 1969 to 2010 Abstract The passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and subsequent establishment of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau marked an unexpected victory for consumers across America at the expense of the well-financed business lobby. Although classical social scientists, such as Mancur Olson, claim that consumer movements should fail to emerge due to the difficulty of providing public goods for large constituencies, consumer victories – like the passage of Dodd-Frank— have occurred in waves throughout the last century. In conducting this study, I thus sought to answer why it is that some consumer movements are able to push through consumer legislation while others fail. In order to answer this question, I conducted two cases studies, comparing Ralph Nader’s failed attempt to establish a Consumer Protection Agency in the 1970s with Elizabeth Warren’s successful push to create Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in 2010.

EDT For further information Monday, October 2, 2006 Contact: Kevin Petrasic OTS 06-047 202/906-6677 OTS Director Reich Commends Congress on Passage of Regulatory Relief Legislation WASHINGTON, D.C. --Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) Director John Reich, who led the federal banking agencies' regulatory relief efforts the last three years, commended Congress for its passage of the "Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006," the regulatory burden relief bill for the financial services industry. Reich stated, "I applaud Congress for passing this important legislation to reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens imposed on our nation's banking industry. In particular, I want to thank Senator Mike Crapo, his staff member, Gregg Richard, and House Financial Services Committee Chairman Mike Oxley and his staff for their tremendous efforts to bring forward this crucial regulatory relief legislation." Reich added that there are many others in both the House and Senate who worked tirelessly to get the legislation enacted, including the staffs of Senate Banking Committee Chairman Richard Shelby, Ranking Member Paul Sarbanes, and Congressman Jeb Hensarling, House Financial Services Subcommittee Chairman Spencer Bachus, and House Financial Services Committee Ranking Member Barney Frank. He also noted, "I also want to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues, particularly our interagency project manager, Claude Rollin of the FDIC, and the staffs at the other regulatory agencies for working so closely with us on the inter-agency regulatory burden reduction project mandated by the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act (EGRPRA)." Reich stated he is committed to continuing to work with Congress next year to further reduce regulatory burden for all insured depository institutions.

  • Michael Oxley Interview
    Securities and Exchange Commission Historical Society Oral History Project Interview with Michael Oxley Conducted on March 9, 2012 by James Stocker JS: This is an interview with former Congressman Mike Oxley for the SEC Historical Society’s virtual museum and archive of the history of financial regulation. I am James Stocker. Today is March 9th, 2012. We’re talking at the Congressman’s office at Baker Hostetler in Washington, D.C. Congressman, it’s great to talk to you today. MO: Thank you, James. JS: To start off, tell me a little bit about the years before you came to Congress. Did you have much experience dealing with finance or securities? MO: No, I didn’t. I graduated from law school at Ohio State in ’69, and then I was recruited by the FBI and I went in the Bureau. Though I did have some experience – I was on the bank robbery squad, so I investigated unauthorized withdrawals from banking institutions. That was quite interesting. Then when I retired from the Bureau, I went back to my hometown of Findlay, Ohio, and joined my dad’s law practice. But I never had that much experience in the overall financial world until I came to Congress. Interview with Rep. Michael Oxley, March 9, 2012 ________ 2 JS: At the FBI, did any of your training deal with finance or securities, or did you ever talk about insider trading or anything like that? MO: Not really. Back in those days, it was pretty much stolen cars, bank robberies, bread-and- butter kind of things – kidnapping – you know, federal laws.

  • Mterrogatory No. 3
    i I- BEFORE THE FEDERAL ELjECTlON COMMISSION In the Matter of ) Witness Subpoena to ) m 3774 The National Right to) Work Committee ) SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO SUBPOENA The National Right to Work Committee (WRTWC), hereby submits this Supplemental Response to the Subpoena ?o Produce Documents/Order to Submit Written Answers served upcln “WC in the above-referenced MUR, following the June 10,1997, decision of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in Misc. Action No. 97-0160, ordering NRWC to respond to Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3, as modified by the Court. INTRODUCTORY COAKMENTS Intemgatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 relate to activities from more than four years ago. NRTWC has experienced changes in personnel over those years, and documents may no longer exist, if they ever existed. Nonetheless, “WC, with the assistance of counsel and staff, has conducted a diligent search for documents and facts, and responds on the basis of information so gathered. The Court limited the scope of Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 to the 1992 senatorial candidates, and the Commission, by its attorneys in discussions with “WC counsel, has further limited the scope to the 1992 general election senatorial candidates.
