WASHINGTON, DC - La congresista Sylvia García (TX-29) y varios de sus colegas enviaron una carta al Secretario Interino del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional de los Estados Unidos, Chad Wolf, condenando la implementación del acuerdo de Tercer País Seguro entre los Estados Unidos y Guatemala.
WASHINGTON, DC — Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia (TX-29) and several of her colleagues sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Acting Secretary Chad Wolf condemning the implementation of the Safe Third Country Agreement between the United States and Guatemala.
On Thursday, November 21, Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia (D-TX) and Congressman Lance Gooden (R-TX) co-sponsored a new bill called "Managed Stablecoins Are Securities Act of 2019". While sometimes the laws and statutes from our government can require explanation, the title of this bill is pretty direct. If you were wondering when there might be regulatory clarity for crypto, at least for stablecoins, that question appears to have been answered.
Of course the bill is still in its preliminary stages, but the bill is an exclamation point of numerous public announcements over the last month with respect to stablecoins - ever since Facebook's Libra was introduced.
"Who Is It That Can Tell Me Who I Am?"
As Shakespeare's King Lear asks, stablecoins might start asking the same question, particularly after this series of public announcements.
WASHINGTON, DC — La congresista Sylvia García (TX-29) anuncia que se unirá al nuevo Caucus de la Democracia de Venezuela.

El caucus bipartidista trabaja para apoyar la libertad del pueblo venezolano y poner el fin a los abusos que enfrentan por parte del gobierno de Maduro.
Declaración de la Congresista Sylvia García:
WASHINGTON, DC — Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia (TX-29) announces she is joining the new bipartisan Venezuela Democracy Caucus. The current circumstances in Venezuela have led to more than 94% of people living in poverty, and more than 4 million Venezuelans fleeing the country. This bipartisan caucus works to support freedom for the Venezuelan people and advocates for an end to the abuses they are facing.
Statement from Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia:
A November 15 blog post by Libra project developers detailing testnet developments has apparently failed to impress government regulators and influential voices in the space alike. CEO of blockchain company R3, David Rutter, commented at a London conference last week that "what they did was ridiculously stupid," going on to call the announcement and approach of the project "naive." The U.S. Congress is concerned as well, with members proposing a new bi-partisan bill Thursday, which seeks to classify the asset as a managed stablecoin security.

WASHINGTON, DC — Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia (D-TX) and her colleague Congressman Lance Gooden (R-TX) introduced the Managed Stablecoins are Securities Act of 2019. This piece of legislation would protect consumers against certain cryptocurrencies, such as Facebook Libra Project. The bill would clarify that "managed stablecoins" are securities under the Security Exchange Act of 1934 and thus regulated by the Security and Exchange Commission.
