IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
DECEMBER 16, 2009 
Mr. POSEY (for himself, Mr. PUTNAM, Mr. LANCE, and Mr. PAUL) submitted 
the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee 
on Financial Services 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Encouraging Federal financial regulators to establish clear 
and consistent guidelines for financial institutions seek-
ing to grow or expand. 
Whereas the current financial crisis is national in scale, its 
effects are unevenly distributed among financial institu-

Whereas the United States is a large country and any real 
or perceived regulatory freeze across the financial sector 
will suppress sound economic opportunities recognized by 
local entrepreneurs to the detriment of economic recov-

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that—

(1) the growth or expansion of sound financial

sound underwriting standards and within the bounds
