Langevin Statement on Expedited Credit Card Reform - Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 3639, the Expedited Card Reform for Consumers Act. I am proud to be a cosponsor of this measure, which would move the effective date of the remaining provisions of the Credit CARD Act of 2009 up to December 1st, 2009. This law provides tough new protections for consumers by banning unfair rate increases, abusive fees and penalties, and strengthening enforcement.

Langevin Statment on Excessive Executive Bonuses - Madam Speaker, I rise today to express my deep outrage over AIG’s plan to give $198 million in bonuses to their employees next March, especially after paying out $165 million in bonuses earlier this year.

Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2009 Statement - Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 3548, the Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2009, which will provide an additional 13 weeks of unemployment benefits to individuals in states with unemployment rates of 8.5 percent or higher. This bill provides a critical boost to the many Rhode Islanders, and Americans across the nation, who are struggling to find employment. In order to receive these benefits, workers must have lost a job through no fault of their own, be actively searching for a job, be able to work, and must have worked twenty weeks prior to being laid off. Only unemployed workers who become eligible for the additional weeks of benefits before January 1, 2010, will qualify for this extension.
