Congressman Loudermilk joined a letter led by House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill to Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins to express longstanding concerns around the Consolidated Audit Trail’s scope, cybersecurity, and funding, while recognizing the steps Chairman Atkins has taken to limit the collection of PII and initiate a comprehensive review. The letter also encourages the SEC to complete that review before moving forward with any new funding model.
The Consolidated Audit Trail, or CAT, collects the names and social security numbers (PII) of every investor who makes a transaction in the public capital markets and stores it in a centralized government database. Congressman Loudermilk has been a long-time opponent of the CAT on constitutional grounds, and especially its PII collection practices. Congressman Loudermilk discussed the letter and his general concerns with the CAT as a part of his questions for Chairman Atkins at this morning’s Financial Services Committee hearing.
Congressman Loudermilk signed on to a letter from Sen. Ricketts (R-NE) to the leaders of Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan (their Congress) regarding ongoing defense funding deliberations. President Lai requested a $40 billion defense funding increase to improve their defensive posture against any invasion by China. His political opponents have proposed a modest $12 billion increase. The letter reminds Taiwanese legislative leaders of the United States’ commitment to Taiwan’s defense and requests Taiwan take necessary steps to improve their military.
