PRESS ADVISORY
'Know Your Customer' gets Judiciary hearing
Banking committee has opportunity to STOP rules with Paul measure

WASHINGTON, DC -- Thursday, March 4, will be a big day on Capitol Hill for those concerned about the proposed "Know Your Customer" rules, which have generated more than 140,000 opposition comments (with only 120 in support) to the federal agencies. These rules would force banks to spy on their customers and strip away the Fourth and Fifth Amendment protections of the Constitution.

At 10 am, the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law will hold a hearing on the "Know Your Customer" regulations. Rep. Ron Paul (R, TX) will be testifying against the rules and in support of his legislation, HR516, which would stop the proposed rules. His legislation already has the bipartisan support of 40 cosponsors.

Also on Thursday, the Committee on Banking and Financial Services will begin work on HR10, which deals with financial modernization. Rep. Paul, along with Rep. Tom Campbell (R, Calif.), will introduce an amendment that would stop the "Know Your Customer" rules and prevent federal agencies from ever attempting such a move in the future. The amendment in the Banking Committee may be referred to as "Amendment 8."

Rep. Paul is a member of the Committee on Banking and Financial Services and was the first Member of Congress to speak in opposition to "Know Your Customer."

Thanks Bill,

How could I afford to miss such a good friend like you! ;-)

A good friend is hard to find though.

Good Morning, {{{Bill}}}

MY PUTER PRAYER

God bless my mom and daddy
Also my little girl and boy
And take care of my husband
He brings me so much joy.

And God there's just one more thing
I wish that you would do,
If you don't mind me asking,
To just bless my 'putter too??

Now I know that its not normal
To bless a small machine
But listen just a second
And I'll try to explain...

You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends.
Inside those small components
Rest a hundred loving friends.

Some, it's true, I've never seen
And most I've never met;
We've never shaken hands
Or ever truly hugged, and yet,

I know for sure they love me
By the kindness they give,
And this little scrap of metal
Is how I get to where they live.

By faith is how I know them,
Much the same as I know you,
I share in what life brings them
So if it's OK with you...

Just take an extra minute
From Your duties up above
To bless this little hunk of steel
That's filled with so much love.
