U.S. Senator Tom Udall (D-N.M.), Chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government, issued the following statement:

"In crafting this bill, we targeted resources to boost job creation and community development, enhance consumer protection, promote greater economic stability, and make government more efficient and responsive to taxpayers. This bill supports Americans as they start and build small businesses, and provides resources to expand access to loans and technical assistance. It protects investors and promotes a fair, safe and robust marketplace. It safeguards our financial markets from abusive and illicit practices. It streamlines the federal government's IT procurement, improving customer service and efficiency. And by increasing funding for the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, the bill helps ensure we can protect our national security and our constitutional rights."
