To: Hill
Filing Type: Coalition
Description: The Coalition for Derivatives End-Users thanks you and the other members of the Committee on Agriculture for incorporating language into H.R. 4413 that would protect derivatives end-users from harmful and unnecessary margin and clearing requirements. H.R. 4413, the “Customer Protection and End-User Relief Act,” would reauthorize the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and was approved in your Committee by voice vote on April 9, 2014. The Coalition strongly supports your bill and hopes that it will pass the House on a bipartisan basis.
