U.S. Congressman Roger Williams (R -- Austin), who serves as a vice chairman on the House Committee on Financial Services, released the following statement after attending a signing ceremony at the White House for S.J. Res 57, which uses Congressional Review Authority (CRA), to repeal a harmful Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (BCFP) guidance:

"In an effort to rein in the unaccountable BCFP, Republicans in Congress were able to roll back yet another controversial guidance that harmed the American consumer. I applaud President Trump for taking swift action by signing this CRA less than two weeks after it passed through the House with a vote of 234-175. This is a critical step in the right direction to reconstruct the Bureau, and I look forward to continue working with the President and Acting Director Mulvaney on behalf of the American people."
