Partial Transcript:
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
And again, I hope everybody that is sitting along the walls here today takes special note, because all of the staff does such a wonderful job of supporting our efforts. And today, it’s my great privilege to introduce one of my staff [members], someone who I think the world of, Luke Pettit.
For more than three years, Luke has been an indispensable member of my staff on so many levels.
He’s not only been a great advisor, but a wonderful friend. His service at the Federal Reserve and in the United States Senate has given him a deep understanding of financial institutions and our policies to unlock our economy’s full potential.
We need leaders who will maximize the competitiveness of our financial system. For this task, there is no one better suited than Luke Pettit.
Beyond his many qualifications, Luke is a leader in the truest sense. And Luke, from a very personal level, I want to thank you for the leadership that you have provided to my sons. They think this guy walks on water.
He’s admired, not merely for what he knows, but for how he carries himself. He carries himself with humility, with selfless dedication to the mission at hand. This kind of leadership is exactly what our government needs.
Luke will bring his exceptional commitment and capability to the role that he’s being brought before this committee for today, and I urge my colleagues to support his confirmation.
Thank you.
