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".

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.

STANDING BEFORE A CROWD ON THE STEPS OF HOUSTON CITY HALL, U.S. Rep. Sylvia Garcia talked tampons.
"No one has a choice of whether or not to have a period," she said. "I'm convinced that if men menstruated, there would be a tampon machine in every bathroom everywhere. This is just another way of not dealing with what's perceived to be a woman's issue. But this is not just a woman's issue, this is about the health and wellbeing of not only the woman, but everyone around her. It's about all of us."
A pair of lawmakers on Thursday introduced legislation that would place stringent government oversight on Facebook's incoming digital currency and similar projects.
The bill from Reps. Sylvia Garcia (D-Texas) and Lance Gooden (R-Texas) would place the Libra digital coin squarely under the Securities and Exchange Commission's jurisdiction, a move that would subject the cryptocurrency to a set of extensive and well-established regulations.
