Good evening. Thank you for inviting me to speak here today.
As this event is sponsored by our great friends at the University of
North Carolina, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge that this is a
rather important time for the University and North Carolina.
While I know that this great event takes precedence for you all, I
recognize there may be a TV or two on throughout the hotel, monitoring
that small basketball tournament.

I also would be remiss if I did not thank the NCAA. I am humbled
that they would go out of their way to schedule the North Carolina game
for tomorrow and not interfere with our time here tonight.
Now, on to the topic of the evening....
I am pleased to see so many of you here. The Banking Institute is
designed to provide the highest quality continuing education on cutting-
edge issues related to banking law. Events like this not only help each
of you stay on top of developments in banking law, but it gives me an
opportunity to hear from you, and I look forward to your questions at the
end.
What I plan to do this evening is to lay out a few thoughts about
the importance of certainty, consistency, diligence, and communication
in our supervisory approach, as well as our ongoing efforts to be
cognizant of regulatory burden.
About the FDIC
As the primary supervisor of the majority of the nation’s small and
medium-size banks, the FDIC oversees a segment of the banking system
that plays a vital role in communities across the country.
