David Dreier, Honoring Chris Cox by Dreier and others (2005)

“ When accepting the nomination to chair the SEC, Chairman Cox had this to say about the U.S. economy: "The natural enemies of this economic marvel are fraud and unfair dealing." At the SEC, he will continue, Mr. Speaker, to do what he practiced here in the Congress, instilling faith in the financial markets by targeting bad actors and protecting investors.
Throughout his life, Chairman Cox has held firm to his conservative beliefs; his faith in democracy; and his pro-growth, free market principles, even when his views were not always popular. ”

“ In 1988, during Chris's first campaign for Congress, President Reagan said, "I could always count on Chris Cox to push our agenda forward and to keep his sights on why we were in Washington." Mr. Speaker, those words still ring true today. Chairman Cox is a man of powerful intellect, whose selfless service of his constituents and of his country has earned the respect of everyone he has worked with, and he has never lost sight of why he was here. ”

“ Whether it was ending the double taxation on shareholder dividends or supporting innovative technologies with the Internet Tax Freedom Act or standing up for free trade by voting for permanent normal trade relations for the People's Republic of China or protecting investors from junk lawsuits with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, Chairman Cox has been in the forefront of making sure capitalism and financial markets work on their own when they can but, most important, work within the law around the clock. ”

“ There was little that could intimidate Chairman Cox, and that was particularly due to the confidence he derived from his political lodestar, the man whose name was on that bumper sticker, Ronald Reagan.
Chris and I both share an intense admiration for Ronald Reagan. President Reagan taught our country to stand tall, to believe in and trust the virtues of democracy, the power of the individual, the promise of entrepreneurship, and the might of our military. ”

“ President Bush gave Chairman Cox this mission to the SEC: "To continue to strengthen public trust in our markets so the American economy can continue to grow and create jobs." Mr. Speaker, if the success of his congressional career is any guide, there is no doubt that Chairman Cox will accomplish this mission.
I offer my sincere thanks to Chris for the pleasure of working with him as a member of the California delegation, as a dedicated disciple of President Reagan and as a force for progress here in the House of Representatives. I wish him the very best as he embarks on this new path. ”

“ Mr. Cox holds an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School, as well as a J.D. from Harvard School of Law. He has taught Federal income tax courses at his alma mater. During former President Reagan's second term, Mr. Cox served as his Senior Associate Counsel. While serving in the U.S. House of Representatives Mr. Cox served in a capacity of leadership in every committee with jurisdiction over investor protection and U.S. capital markets. It seems obvious to me, as I'm sure it does to the rest of my colleagues that Mr. Cox is very well qualified for his new position. ”

“ Cox's new job is to the health and security to our Nation's economy.
The job of the SEC is to maintain investor confidence in our financial markets. I would urge my friend to invest more resources in maintaining that confidence. That would include going after insider- trading cases, and preventing scandals, like Enron and WorldCom, that undermine our system. We shouldn't forget that it's the small investors, and workers depending on their pensions, that get hit the hardest by these scandals. ”

“ As his colleagues in Congress, we will all miss working with Chris.
Chairman Cox was first elected to the House in 1988 to represent Orange County, California. During his nine terms in office, he gained a well-deserved reputation as a hardworking, action-oriented, fair and bipartisan Member. In fact, he said one time, "The well-worn partisan rut is not a place where you are going to get a lot of work done." ”
