PROFESSIONAL • PIA opposes a federal-chartering system for insurers, even an optional one.

On March 14, 2004, Michael Oxley (R-Oh.), chairman of the House Financial Services Committee presented a “road map to state-based insurance regulatory reform” to state insurance regulators. Oxley ruled out optional federal chartering or any type of dual insurance regulatory system, but said new federal regulations to create greater uniformity among state-level insurance marketplaces are necessary. Oxley outlined the plan in an address to the NAIC’s spring meeting. His plan would set up a Federal-State Advisory Council to coordinate future discussions over insurance tax policy and uniformity. He said the goal would be to build on the work already done by the NAIC to create a more uniform, efficient and market-based insurance regulatory system.

Each issue also provides additional information on the tobacco companies' political influence, including analyses of the correlation between these contributions and the tobacco-related legislation that members of the U.S. Congress support.

Donations to non-candidate committees include nearly $467,000 to Democratic and Republican party committees, $758,500 to leadership PACs established by individual members of Congress and more than $74,000 to other non-party committees (including PACs associated with a particular issue, industry or ideology).

  • 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.

  • A Timeline of Republicans' Failure to Stop Reckless Mortgage Lending
    A Timeline of Republicans’ Failure to Stop Reckless Mortgage Lending September 2010 Republican leaders in Congress are understandably eager to deflect attention away from their failure to rein in the reckless mortgage lending practices that contributed to the financial crisis. Republicans controlled the House, Senate*, and White House from January 2001 to January 2007, when subprime lending exploded and the housing bubble became fully inflated. That’s why, as a partisan diversionary tactic, Republicans have chosen to distort Chairman Frank’s record. As the timeline below shows, these Republican attacks are entirely baseless. The point here is not to litigate the past. The point is that, if Republicans have their way again, they will champion the same deregulatory and laissez faire economic policies that enabled Wall Street to take unacceptable risks and plunge the nation into economic crisis. In contrast, Democrats have passed legislation allowing the Treasury Department to place Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into conservatorship and end the practices that put taxpayers at risk. Democrats have also passed far‐reaching Wall Street reform that includes protections against predatory lending; and they are working to ensure that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac recover as much money as possible from unscrupulous lenders. At Wednesday’s hearing, Democrats will examine the GSEs’ progress in reforming their operations and limiting losses. 1994‐2000: Democratic legislation to give Fed authority to rein in predatory lending precedes Republican takeover of Congress and years of inaction 1994: In 1994, when Democrats controlled the House, Senate, and White House, they enacted the Homeownership and Equity Protection Act (HOEPA).
