Subject: CFTC Staff Technical Assistance: Authorization of Appropriations

Clark -

In monitoring progress on the OTC derivatives legislation, a staffer for one of our Appropriations
subcommittees observed that the bill should include its own authorization for appropriations. In fulfilling that
suggestion, CFTC staff offers technical assistance as follows:

On page 115, after line 3, insert the following:

"SEC. 127. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.


There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as are necessary to carry out this Act.".

Let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day.

Riley
