Hensarling: Senate Shouldn’t Confirm Ex-Im Nominees Until Garrett is Confirmed or Ex-Im is Reformed
Washington,
December 20, 2017 -
Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) issued the following statement on the Senate Banking Committee’s vote to block the nomination of Scott Garrett to lead the Export-Import Bank:
“The Export-Import Bank remains the poster child for corporate welfare. If it must remain, it must be under the leadership of a true reformer like Scott Garrett. It is disappointing that his nomination to be president of Ex-Im was voted down by the Senate Banking Committee. Unless and until Scott Garrett is confirmed or until Ex-Im is reformed and out of the corporate welfare business, the Senate should confirm no nominations to the Ex-Im board and President Trump should offer no other nominees.”
