安迪·巴尔 (Andy Barr) 对众议院金融服务的“愿景”

这位肯塔基州议员正在竞选接替加密货币倡导者帕特里克·麦克亨利(Patrick McHenry)，担任强大的美国众议院金融服务委员会主席。

Rep. Andy Barr (R-Ky.) is one of several lawmakers vying to succeed Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) as the head of the Republican wing of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee. Barr spoke briefly at the Flyover Fintech conference hosted by Rep. Mike Flood (R-Neb.) in Lincoln, Nebraska, on Monday.

众议员安迪·巴尔（肯塔基州共和党人）是竞争接替众议员帕特里克·麦克亨利（RN.C.）担任美国众议院金融服务委员会共和党翼负责人的几名议员之一。周一，巴尔在内布拉斯加州林肯市由众议员迈克·弗洛德 (Mike Flood) 主持的 Flyover 金融科技会议上发表了简短讲话。

Barr is hoping to secure leadership of his party's wing in the Financial Services Committee next year after McHenry retires from Congress. He spoke to roughly 300 audience members during the lunch break at Flyover Fintech, laying out his view for restoring the American Dream.

巴尔希望明年麦克亨利从国会退休后，能确保他所在党派在金融服务委员会的领导地位。他在 Flyover Fintech 的午休时间向大约 300 名观众发表了讲话，阐述了他对恢复美国梦的看法。

"I'm just doing the best I can to cast a vision, educate my colleagues about what that vision is, but also listen to my colleagues about what they want in leadership in the House Financial Services Committee," Barr said in an interview with CoinDesk after his public remarks.

巴尔在接受采访时表示：“我只是尽我所能来描绘一个愿景，让我的同事们了解这个愿景是什么，同时也听取我的同事们的意见，了解他们对众议院金融服务委员会领导层的期望。” CoinDesk 在他公开讲话后。

The House GOP will vote on its leadership shortly after next month's election, including the whip and leader. The lawmakers would then appoint a steering committee, and only after that would committee chairs (or ranking members, if Democrats retake the House) be chosen.

众议院共和党将在下个月的选举后不久对其领导层进行投票，包括党鞭和领袖。然后，立法者将任命一个指导委员会，只有在此之后，才会选出委员会主席（如果民主党重新夺回众议院，则为高级成员）。

If he is chosen to lead, Barr said the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21) would be on his agenda, when asked what crypto-specific initiatives he may focus on.

当被问及他可能关注哪些特定于加密货币的举措时，巴尔表示，如果他被选为领导者，《21 世纪金融创新和技术法案》(FIT21) 将列入他的议程。

"If we are unable to get FIT21 across the finish line through the year-end vehicles, which are the NDAA [National Defense Authorization Act] and the omnibus [spending bill], then we need to be persistent and we need to redouble our efforts and reintroduce in the next Congress," he said.

“如果我们无法通过年终手段（NDAA [国防授权法案] 和综合 [支出法案]）让 FIT21 冲过终点线，那么我们需要坚持不懈，需要加倍努力并在下届国会重新提出，”他说。

In the event the bill does fall to the next Congress, Barr said it would be an opportunity to revise it, though he said he didn't "have many suggested changes."

巴尔表示，如果该法案确实提交给下届国会，这将是一个修改该法案的机会，尽管他说他“没有太多建议的修改”。

"I think they've done a marvelous job," he said, referring to Reps. McHenry, French Hill (R-Ark.) and Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.).

“我认为他们做得非常出色，”他指的是众议员麦克亨利、弗伦奇·希尔（阿肯色州共和党）和达斯蒂·约翰逊（RS.D.）。

"And if the reason why it fails in the lame duck is that we didn't do a good enough job getting enough Democrats on board, then it gives us an opportunity to maybe see what we can do to get the job done," he said. "We shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, right?"

他说：“如果跛脚鸭失败的原因是我们没有做得足够好，没有让足够多的民主党人加入，那么这给了我们一个机会，让我们看看我们能做些什么来完成这项工作。”说。 “我们不应该让完美成为优秀的敌人，对吗？”

Barr also said it was "disappointing" that Congress wasn't able to override President Joe Biden's veto of an effort to overturn Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 121, a controversial custody rule that crypto advocates argue blocks most financial institutions from providing custody services to the sector.

巴尔还表示，“令人失望”的是，国会未能推翻乔·拜登总统对推翻证券交易委员会员工会计公告 121 的否决，这是一项有争议的托管规则，加密货币倡导者认为该规则阻止了大多数金融机构提供托管服务到该部门。

"We need to create a pathway for regulated financial institutions, banks [and] non-banks, to safely custody digital assets," he said.

“我们需要为受监管的金融机构、银行[和]非银行机构创建一条安全托管数字资产的途径，”他说。

I also spoke with Rep. Flood after the day's events wrapped, more specifically about legislation. The lawmaker noted that Rep. McHenry "is well-regarded," and people were still working to find a way and have FIT21 passed into law during the forthcoming lame duck session (the time between Election Day in two weeks and when new members of Congress take their seat in January.)

在当天的活动结束后，我还与众议员弗拉德进行了交谈，更具体地说是关于立法。这位立法者指出，众议员麦克亨利“很受尊敬”，人们仍在努力寻找方法，并在即将举行的跛脚鸭会议期间（两周后的选举日与新国会议员当选之间的时间）将 FIT21 通过成为法律。一月份就座。）

"I still remain hopeful we can at least get FIT done," he said. Stablecoin legislation will wait until next year, and if FIT21 doesn't pass in 2024, it will also pass in 2025, Flood emphasized.

“我仍然希望我们至少能够完成 FIT，”他说。 Flood 强调，稳定币立法将等到明年，如果 FIT21 没有在 2024 年通过，它也会在 2025 年通过。

"We have serious people working in financial innovation that can create a lot of jobs, generate wealth, cement America even more as the world's financial juggernaut," he said. "But there are pitfalls, and there are things to watch out for, and regulators and lawmakers need to make sure we're building a foundation, but not an overly prescriptive set of rules. So I think it's hard to sit here and not get excited about some of the innovation that's happening, but at the same time, how are we going to regulate it? How are we going to ensure that the innovation survives our regulations?"

他说：“我们有认真从事金融创新的人才，这些创新可以创造大量就业机会，创造财富，进一步巩固美国作为世界金融巨头的地位。” “但是存在陷阱，也有需要注意的事情，监管机构和立法者需要确保我们正在建立一个基础，而不是一套过于规范的规则。所以我认为很难坐在这里而不得到对正在发生的一些创新感到兴奋，但与此同时，我们如何对其进行监管？我们如何确保创新能够遵守我们的法规？”
