by Commissioner Paul S. Atkins
Thank you, Steve [Law of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce], for that wonderful introduction. As you mentioned, this will be my last formal speech to an outside group before I leave the Commission. So this will be one of the last times that I must say the views I express here today are my own and not necessarily those of the Commission or my fellow commissioners.
It has been nearly six years since President Bush appointed me to be a member of the Commission. Next week, I will step down from the SEC and will find myself, for the first time in quite awhile, with no professional obligations to attend to. Nevertheless, I think my wife has prepared a very long "to do" list of neglected tasks that have accumulated since 2002!
It has been a privilege to serve the public as an SEC commissioner. The SEC is proud agency with a long and distinguished tradition. Next June, the SEC will celebrate its 75th anniversary, and it has been an honor to have played a small role in its history.
See full Speech.
