I believe Mr.\nO'Kelly's letter makes a very important contribution to the debate on a\nsignificant public policy issue and I ask that it be printed here.\n\n KPMG,\n\n Park Avenue,\n\n New York, NY, July 9, 2003.\n Hon. Barney Frank,\n Ranking Minority Member, House Committee on Financial\n Services\n Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, DC.\n Dear Congressman Frank: That public trust in our capital\n markets institutions has been badly shaken by recent\n corporate scandals is a truth that hardly needs repeating.\n Congress recognized the need to restore that trust when it\n passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Among its many reforms, the\n Act established an independent funding source for the\n Financial Accounting Standards Board, to avoid any appearance\n of undue influence. It would be sadly ironic if the Congress\n itself were now to undermine the independence of the FASB.\n The immediate controversy, of course, is accounting for\n stock options, but it is not my purpose here to debate that\n subject (KPMG is on record that they should be expensed).\n Rather, I am concerned about a more fundamental issue--\n namely, the integrity of the independent standard-setting\n process that has served out financial markets remarkably well\n for decades.\n To do right by investors, the FASB must be free to render\n its judgments on the basis of sound accounting and firancial\n reporting, the lodestar of which is transparency. As the FASB\n patiently (if sometimes inartfully) explains, it does not,\n indeed it must not, take into account the economic\n consequences of the standards it writes. Critics seize upon\n this position to justify legislative intervention on the\n basis of economic policy. But this criticism misses the\n point. The FASB bases its standards on clarity and\n transparency rather than other factors precisely because this\n is the only approach beneficial to a free-market economy.\n The purpose of financial reporting is to provide investors\n as clear a window as possible into a company's underlying\n operations and results. When it succeeds, the markets\n efficiently allocate capital to its highest and best uses,\n and the economy prospers. To set accounting standards in\n order to engineer a particular outcome or to benefit a\n certain industry would distort the true picture of company\n performance and misdirect the flow of investment. To\n understand the ensuing damage, we need look no farther\n than to the end of the last century, littered with the\n failures of central economic planning.\n To provide transparency to investors, in other words,\n accounting standard setters must be neutral with respect to\n economic winners and losers. They cannot be influenced by\n concerns over which industry is in favor or in need. This is\n a task for which an elected body is frankly ill suited. Just\n consider the consequences to our capital markets if financial\n reporting were subject to the same vicissitudes of politics\n and public opinion as, say, fiscal policy.\n Congress, like all interested parties, has every right to\n make its views known on the standards proposed by the FASB.\n And all those affected have a right to thorough due process\n in the FASB's decision-making. Ultimately, however, the FASB\n must be free from political pressure to make its decisions on\n the merits of transparency. Over the years, Congress wisely\n has resisted the temptation to intervene. Today, when more\n than ever investors need to know that financial reports tell\n the straight story, nothing less than a truly independent\n accounting standard-setting body will do.\n Sincerely,\n Eugene D. O'Kelly,\n Chairman and Chief Executive.\n\n[[Page E1849]]\n\n SENATE COMMITTEE MEETINGS\n\n Title IV of Senate Resolution 4, agreed to by the Senate on February\n4, 1977, calls for establishment of a system for a computerized\nschedule of all meetings and hearings of Senate committees,\nsubcommittees, joint committees, and committees of conference.

BARNEY FRANK\n\n of massachusetts\n\n in the house of representatives\n\n Wednesday, September 10, 2003\n\n Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, September 1, a\ngood and courageous man gave his life for his country. Joseph M. Camara\nwas tragically killed while serving his nation in Iraq, as a member of\nthe Rhode Island National Guard. In civilian life, as in military life,\nSergeant Camara was a man dedicated to protecting his fellow citizens.\nHe was a highly respected and deeply admired police officer in the City\nof New Bedford. Mr. Camara leaves behind his wife and three children,\nand they are joined in their grieving at the loss of this patriot by\nhundreds of thousands of their fellow citizens in Massachusetts and\nRhode Island. Of course nothing we can say will alleviate the pain that\nMr. Camara's family feels at this untimely death, but we can at least\ndemonstrate to them how deeply we sympathize with them and it is\nimportant for us to recognize here in the United States House of\nRepresentatives the terrible sacrifice Mr. Camara made in the service\nof his country.\n Mr. Speaker, the citizens of New Bedford, where Mr. Camara lived,\nraised his family, and served with great distinction as a police\nofficer are especially devastated by his death. The people of the city\nhave with one voice expressed their most profound condolences to the\nCamara family. And the depth of that feeling has been well conveyed by\na series of articles in the New Bedford Standard Times about this\nterrible incident.\n Mr. Speaker, to commemorate Joseph Camara, to recognize appropriately\nin the United States Congress the enormous debt that we owe his wife\nand children, and to pay tribute to the people of New Bedford, who have\nbeen so steadfast in their support of the Camara family, I ask that the\narticles from the New Bedford Standard Times about the death of Joseph\nCamara in the service of his country be printed here.\n ____\n\n [From the New Bedford Standard Times, Sept. 3, 2003]\n\n New Bedford Police Officer Killed in Iraq\n\n (By Steve Urbon)\n\n Cranston, R.I.--A New Bedford police officer became the\n first SouthCoast resident killed in action in the Iraq war\n when a homemade land mine exploded on a highway near Baghdad\n on Monday, killing two National Guardmen.\n Staff Sgt. Joseph M. Camara, 40, married and the father of\n three, was on patrol with two other guardsmen from Rhode\n Island's 115th Military Police Company when the device\n exploded beneath their Humvee and ignited the fuel and\n ammunition aboard, Lt. Col. Michael McNamara of the Rhode\n Island National Guard said yesterday at a press conference in\n Cranston announcing the deaths.\n He said Sgt. Camara, a patrolman in the New Bedford Police\n Department when not on National Guard duty, was killed\n instantly as was Sgt. Charles Caldwell, 38, of North\n Providence, who was married with no children. Sgt.\n Caldwell was driving the vehicle in a convoy in the late\n morning on a road north of Baghdad, and Sgt. Camara was\n riding in the passenger seat as vehicle commander.\n Spc. Edmund Aponte, 35, of Providence, who was manning the\n vehicle's machine gun at the time, suffered burns and\n shrapnel wounds and is hospitalized but expected to make a\n complete recovery, Lt. Col. McNamara said. Spc. Aponte is\n married and has three children.\n National Guard officials gave details at a noon press\n conference at their Cranston headquarters, which followed a\n meeting with many of the families of the men and women in\n Iraq with the 115th M.P. Company. The company is in Iraq as\n part of the 220th Military Police Brigade, supporting combat\n troops performing such missions as house-to-house weapons\n searches and road patrols.\n Flags were lowered to half-staff across southern New\n England as the news spread of the first casualties in the\n National Guard unit in 58 years. Its members come from across\n southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island and southeastern\n Connecticut. In all, 600 members of the Rhode Island National\n Guard are serving in hot spots overseas--360 of them in Iraq.\n Rhode Island's adjutant general and National Guard\n commanding general Maj. Gen. Reginald Centracchio and Rhode\n Island Gov. Donald Carcieri were grim-faced as they announced\n the news.\n ``All of our hearts are broken over this,'' Gov. Carcieri\n said. ``Our worst fears have been realized.''\n Having met with the families anxious for the safety of\n their relatives in Iraq, Gov. Carcieri said that often ``we\n do not appreciate the sacrifice that these men and women are\n undergoing.''\n ``This is a terrible reminder that they are in harm's\n way,'' he said.\n Gen. Centracchio alluded to the changed nature of the\n conflict and suggested that as well-prepared, trained and led\n as the troops are, the United States is not fully prepared\n for the guerrilla war that has evolved in Iraq.\n ``We're fighting an unconventional war,'' he said. ``We\n have to devise a way of dealing with a culture that is alien\n to our set of values.\n ``Now we're dealing with the unknown,'' he said. ``They'll\n shake your hand in a friendly way during the day, and at\n night the same individual is willing to give his life to\n satisfy his thoughts.\n ``We have to adapt to the kind of warfare we're dealing\n with,'' Gen. Centracchio said.\n He said that would involve more training and more access to\n armored vehicles that could withstand a land mine of the kind\n his men encountered this week. He remarked that the makeup of\n the fighting forces has changed in recent years, with\n reserves constituting more of the primary fighting units.\n National Guard units, he said, ``are the Army. They are the\n Air Force.''\n Lt. Col. McNamara said the ``improvised explosive device''\n that detonated beneath the vehicle could have been remotely\n controlled by wire or transmitter. The Humvee, which was\n configured in a ``turtle'' fashion for use by the military\n police, was entirely vulnerable to such a threat. It carried\n its own fuel as well as machine gun and 9 mm pistol\n ammunition, and was on a routine patrol to keep supply lines\n open.\n The 115th left Rhode Island Feb. 12 for Fort Drum, N.Y.,\n and more training. The 360 men and women arrived in Kuwait\n April 2 and entered Iraq in early May.\n ____\n\n [From the Standard-Times, Sept. 4, 2003]\n\n Losing Guardsman Joseph M. Camara\n\n The troubling war in Iraq and even more disturbing after-\n war struck us on the home front this week when an exploding\n land mine outside Baghdad robbed this world of National Guard\n Staff Sgt. Joseph M. Camara.\n The 40-year-old New Bedford police officer was a bulwark of\n the South End neighborhood where he lived with his wife, two\n daughters and son.\n He was the essence of a community police officer so\n desperately needed in this city of rising violence.\n Not only did he do his job with distinction during his\n regular shifts as a city patrol officer, but he gave his\n family and neighbors on McGurk Street in the South End a\n profound sense of security.\n His solid presence allowed them to sleep easier and take\n greater pride in their working-class neighborhood of old\n three-story homes.\n\n[[Page E1763]]\n\n He was not afraid to step outside his home to ask someone\n to stop creating bothersome noise or even to chase a bandit\n down the street. Relatives recall he once burst into a\n burning home to save a life.\n He spent his free time with his family, enjoying the kind\n of close relationships with his wife and children that make\n life rich and wonderful.\n This country, this city, this neighborhood and this family\n are heartbroken at the loss of such a fine man to the war in\n Iraq.\n He gave with a generosity to his country, his city and his\n family that cannot be replaced.\n ____\n\n [From the Standard Times, Sept. 3, 2003]\n\n South End Neighborhood Will Feel Void Left by Officer's Death\n\n (By Ray Henry)\n\n New Bedford.--Two years ago, Luisa Vieira was sitting in\n her house when a series of quick gunshots interrupted the\n evening calm on McGurk Street.\n Rushing to the window, she looked across the street and saw\n her neighbor, Officer Joseph M. Camara, run down the walkway\n leading from his family's second-floor apartment and chase\n the car while unarmed and barely dressed.\n Within minutes, she said, the off-duty officer had warned\n others of danger, called for help and sealed off part of the\n street.\n ``He chased the car barefoot and in his boxers. He was very\n protective of children and the kids out there,'' Ms. Vieira\n said.\n Yesterday, as word of Staff Sgt. Camara's death in Iraq\n spread around his South End neighborhood, his friends and\n family gathered at the Camara home and remembered the family\n man as a source of law and other in the sometimes rough\n neighborhood.\n Sgt. Camara, who served in the 115th Military Police\n Company of the Rhode Island National Guard, and Sgt. Charles\n Caldwell of North Providence died on Monday when their Humvee\n truck struck an improvised land mine north of Baghdad. A\n third man, Spc. Edmund Aponte of Providence, was wounded in\n the explosion.\n ``His death certainly brings out the reality of war.\n He served in a life-and-death occupation on his regular\n job with the city and, like other patriots, he went to\n serve his country,'' said New Bedford Mayor Frederick M.\n Kalisz Jr., who ordered city flags to half-staff yesterday\n afternoon.\n Since Sgt. Camara was a police officer for four years,\n Police Chief Carl K. Moniz drove to the Camaras home on\n McGurk Street yesterday morning with a military attache\n charged with telling Ana Camara that her husband had died.\n ``I think of all the things you go through in the course of\n a career, that pales when compared to something such as the\n circumstances today. Thank God I didn't have to say the words\n about the loss of their loved one. That was left to someone\n else. But I had to see the grief and anguish,'' Chief Moniz\n said.\n Sgt. Camara was appointed to the Police Department on May\n 2, 1999. He patrolled city streets, at first from the South\n End station and then from the North End station.\n ``He was very unassuming and calm,'' said Capt. Kevin\n Hegarty, who supervised the North End station. ``He wasn't\n excitable or an outspoken guy.''\n The ``quiet and competent'' officer, Capt. Hegarty said,\n was a reassuring presence both at work and, according to this\n neighbors, at home.\n ``We knew if there was a problem we could go right across\n (the street),'' said neighbor Gary Cameron, 36, who said Sgt.\n Camara's presence figured heavily in his decision to rent an\n apartment on McGurk Street. The neighborhood was usually\n peaceful when Sgt. Camara was around.\n ``He would come out and let you know if you were making too\n much noise, to carry along,'' Mr. Cameron said.\n A 1981 graduate of New Bedford High School, Sgt. Camara was\n once a general utility worker for Cliftex Clothing before he\n studied to become a police officer, friends said.\n He joined the National Guard at 19 and neighbors often saw\n him wearing his black beret and fatigues when he left for\n training on the weekends or during longer two-week stints.\n He and his wife have three young children, two girls and a\n boy, and she was nervous when his unit left in February for\n Iraq, friends said.\n ``She said she wasn't crazy about him going,'' said Ivo\n Furtado, 35.\n Neighbor Maria Ramos, 35, said she often spotted Sgt.\n Camara piling his three children into the couple's Astro\n before going to martial arts lessons. Other times, he could\n be found playing ball on the street or sidewalk with the\n neighborhood youths or out enjoying a walk in Hazelwood Park.\n ``He was always out there with the kids. He was a family-\n oriented man,'' said Ms. Ramos, who first met the Camara\n family when her daughter and their children were in\n elementary school together.\n The Camara family, which gathered in yesterday's cold and\n mist, declined to speak with reporters. Most remained inside\n the family's three-story house, decorated with American flags\n and yellow ribbons.\n ``They're not taking it too good,'' Mr. Furtado said. His\n wife, Lucy, had approached Sgt. Camara's sister earlier in\n the morning, just after the family had been notified.\n ``She couldn't believe he was gone,'' Mrs. Furtado said.\n During the afternoon, the Rev. John M. Sullivan, the city's\n police chaplain and pastor of St. Lawrence Martyr Church,\n visited the Camara family.\n ``One woman there, who is the wife of a police officer and\n whose husband is in Iraq, said that you're always waiting for\n your husband to come through the door, but when this happens\n 7,000 miles away from home, it is even more crushing,'' the\n Rev. Sullivan said.\n He said there are no easy answers to explain the tragedies\n of war.\n ``We always ask why, but there is no good reason when one\n human being kills another whether in violence in the city or\n in war. There are no easy answers to questions like that,''\n he said.\n ____\n\n [From the Standard-Times, Sept. 4, 2003]\n\n South Coast Officials Praise Officer's Service\n\n (By Ray Henry)\n\n New Bedford.--The body of Staff Sgt. Joseph M. Camara, a\n New Bedford police office killed this week in Iraq, was\n scheduled to be flown to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware\n last night, the first step in what officials said will be a\n long process of grief, ceremony and bureaucracy.\n Sgt. Camara, of 13 McGurk St., and Sgt. Charles Caldwell,\n of North Providence, RI., both soldiers in the 115th Military\n Policy Company of the Rhode Island National Guard, were\n killed Monday when an improvised land mine exploded under\n their Humvee on a road north of Baghdad. A third man, Spc.\n Edmund Aponte of Providence, was seriously injured.\n As representatives of the Delaware Army National Guard\n prepared to receive the bodies in a private ceremony, South\n Coast congressmen praised Sgt. Camara's local and global\n public service.\n ``He was a man who was willing to endanger himself to\n protect others, both at home as a police officer, and abroad\n as a soldier,'' said U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass.\n ``I know that words can do nothing to alleviate the pain\n that the Camara family feels at the death of this brave\n patriot,'' Rep. Frank said. ``But they should know that they\n are joined by their friends, neighbors and, indeed, all other\n Americans in mourning the loss of a good, courageous man who\n gave his life for his country.''\n Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., who lost a brother in\n World War II, had similar wishes for the Camara family.\n ``When Sgt. Camara wasn't serving his nation in the Army in\n Iraq, he proudly fought to keep the streets safe for the\n families of New Bedford. He dedicated his life to protecting\n others, and we will forever honor that service to family,\n community and country,'' Sen. Kennedy said.\n Sgt. Camara's family declined to comment yesterday, but\n neighbors continued to add flowers and candles along the\n fence lining his family's three-story home in the South End.\n The Rhode Island National Guard has assigned two lieutenant\n colonels to work as liaisons with the families of both slain\n men, said Lt. Col. Michael B. McNamara, a unit spokesman.\n Both liaisons, known in military parlance as casualty\n assistance officers, will help the families make funeral\n arrangements and guide them through the process of claiming\n benefits. The officer typically are assigned to families for\n about 45 days, but they sometimes continue to answer family\n inquiries for years.\n ``Their primary duty is to that family. That's their only\n duty,'' Lt. Col. McNamara said. ``As you can imagine, being a\n government program, there's a lot of paperwork.''\n ____\n\n [From the New Bedford Standard Times, Sept. 5, 2003]\n\n Family, Service Were His Guides\n\n (By Ray Henry)\n\n New Bedford.--After spending more than 20 years in uniform,\n Staff Sgt. Joseph M. Camara turned in his retirement papers\n to the Rhode Island Army National Guard.\n But defense officials barred the retirements of many\n soldiers after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, including\n that of Sgt. Camara and others in the 115th Military Police\n Company out of Cranston. In February, the unit was ordered to\n Iraq where an exploding land mine on Monday killed Sgt.\n Camara and Sgt. Charles Caldwell of North Providence on a\n road north of Baghdad.\n ``He had turned in his papers and served his time, but he\n didn't turn his back on his country,'' said his wife, Ana\n Camara, in an interview yesterday in front of her family's\n McGurk Street home.\n ``He loved being in the Army. He loved serving in the\n Police Department. I've lost my soulmate. My children have\n lost a wonderful father,'' she said.\n Lt. Col. Michael B. McNamara, a spokesman for the unit,\n could not comment directly on Sgt. Camara's attempt to retire\n but noted that regulations issued after the Sept. 11 terror\n attacks on New York and the Pentagon kept many in Sgt.\n Camara's company from leaving.\n Several family members were overcome by tears as they tried\n to describe Sgt. Camara, who served in Saudi Arabia during\n Operation Desert Storm in 1991.\n ``He was everything to me. He's my brother and now he's my\n guardian angel,'' said his sister, Michelle Camara.\n Although Sgt. Camara had only been a New Bedford police\n officer for four years, he had decided to ``serve and\n protect'' long before he took the oath in October 1999. He\n ran into his neighborhood's burning house on July 21, 1995,\n to rescue an elderly woman and\n\n[[Page E1764]]\n\n two children trapped by a spreading kitchen fire.\n Mrs. Camara also remembered how her husband stopped on\n Route 18 one night to guide traffic around a car that had\n blown two tires. Others recalled this summer night two years\n ago when Sgt. Camara ran out of his apartment barefoot and in\n boxer shorts to chase a gunman driving down McGurk Street.\n ``He liked the right thing to go on in the world,'' said\n his brother John Camara, explaining why Sgt. Camara became a\n police officer. ``As long as his eyes were open, he'd be on\n duty.''\n Despite his nearly lifelong interest in law enforcement,\n Sgt. Camara was hesitant to apply for a job on the police\n force, Mrs. Camara said. He opted instead to work for a\n private security company, fearing the long hours and constant\n stress would harm his family life.\n Finally, Mrs. Camara said she convinced her husband to aim\n higher.\n ``I said, `Go, do it. You're driving me crazy. Don't worry\n about us,' '' she said.\n Although Sgt. Camara worked the midnight to 8 a.m. shift,\n he remained a devoted father, she said. After a full night of\n work, he once took his children to the ``Rugrats'' movie--and\n only fell asleep once.\n As his son Matthew grew older, the duo enjoyed watching\n wrestling matches and Monster Truck rallies, But he's also\n rent romantic dramas to watch with his wife, she said.\n For Sgt. Camara, ``children'' were an extended concept. The\n couple had three of their own, but Sgt. Camara also referred\n to the younger soldiers in the National Guard unit as ``my\n kids,'' Mrs. Camara said. He once led a pack of 20\n neighborhood youths on a bike ride that ended in a round of\n slushies for everyone at a convenience store.\n ``That third shift never affected his family life,'' Mrs.\n Camara said.\n The couple met through a mutual friend in New Bedford one\n year after Sgt. Camara joined the military, she said. They\n were friends before they started dating, a development that\n she believed helped them to communicate directly in the years\n that followed.\n She was away from her house on Tuesday when a National\n Guard liaison arrived to inform her family on Sgt. Camara's\n death. A telephone call from a relative urged her to quickly\n return home, but a television reporter confronted her before\n she opened her front door and saw the uniformed man waiting\n inside.\n ``I step out of my van and there's a man with a camera\n waiting for me. That was the most horrible thing I had ever\n gone through,'' she said. ``When did my private life become a\n media frenzy?''\n Yesterday, Mrs. Camara thanked the police officers and the\n family members of the National Guard servicemen and -women\n who have offered her support during the past week.\n ``It's a family and I feel like they'll never forget my\n children,'' she said.\n\n[[Page E1765]]\n\n SENATE COMMITTEE MEETINGS\n\n Title IV of Senate Resolution 4, agreed to by the Senate on February\n4, 1977, calls for establishment of a system for a computerized\nschedule of all meetings and hearings of Senate committees,\nsubcommittees, joint committees, and committees of conference.

EDOLPHUS TOWNS\n\n of new york\n\n in the house of representatives\n\n Monday, March 10, 2003\n\n Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of Priscilla Incorvaia in\nrecognition for her tireless energy and dedication to her community.\n Priscilla grew up on Long Island and attended C.W. Post College where\nshe studied Elementary Education and Training Development. After an\ninternship at Republic National Bank, she was offered a job in their\nmanagement-training program. During the next fifteen years, Priscilla\nrapidly moved up the ranks and presently is the Branch Manager of the\nStarrett City Office in Brooklyn.\n As far back as Priscilla can remember, she has been involved in\nvarious community organizations. She feels that it is important to be\ninvolved in organizations at the grass roots level, especially those\nrelated to children. She is a firm believer in getting involved in the\ncommunity where she works and is well known in the various boroughs,\nespecially Brooklyn.\n Priscilla sits on many advisory boards, including Junior Achievement,\nthe YWCA, the Queens Botanical Gardens, and The Noel Pointer\nFoundation, a non-profit organization that provides music lessons for\ngifted underprivileged children where she served as treasurer. She has\nbeen awarded the Bronze Leadership Award for Leadership and Support and\nthe Above and Beyond Service Award for her work in Junior Achievement.\n Priscilla attributes her team spirit to her husband Angelo, a former\nNew York Giants lineman.\n Mr. Speaker, Priscilla Incorvaia is devoted to serving her community.\nAs such, she is more than worthy of receiving our recognition today and\nI urge my colleagues to join me in honoring this truly remarkable\nwoman.\n\n[[Page E416]]\n\n SENATE COMMITTEE MEETINGS\n\n Title IV of Senate Resolution 4, agreed to by the Senate on February\n4, 1977, calls for establishment of a system for a computerized\nschedule of all meetings and hearings of Senate committees,\nsubcommittees, joint committees, and committees of conference.
