Release The Committee on Energy and Commerce W.J. "Billy" Tauzin, Chairman Tauzin Statement on President's Corporate Reform Agenda WASHINGTON
(July 9) - Reacting to President George W. Bush's call today for a new
ethic of responsibility in corporate America, House Energy and Commerce
Committee Chairman Billy Tauzin (R-LA) issued the following statement: "What
President Bush has laid out today is a tough-minded, no-nonsense approach to
meaningful corporate reforms that will go a long way in bolstering public
confidence in America's capital markets. "The
President clearly understands, as I do, that corporate criminals need to go to
jail. The thousands of hard-working Americans, pension holders and
small investors devastated by corruption in corporate boardrooms must see rogue
company executives punished for their greedy practices, not rewarded with
multi-million dollar stock options and massive compensation packages. Related Documents
