		<description>Dear Representative Franks,

I believe your bill attempt is going in the right direction but you need also to add WALL STREET to the bills wording......so then all OIL TRADING no matter by whom is fully transparent. Then no matter where the OIL, whether it is from an oil company or a WALL STREET brokerage/commodities company, is fully reported EACH and EVERY day to all corners of the WORLD. 

Then NOTHING is hidden from anyone as it is currently.

I would also encourage both the US Congress and Senate to have all and any country involved with OIL being purchased and shipped from any where in the world too declare where it is ending up and used by WHOM (companies name and quantity/price paid per barrel). 

Then the public world wide will see who is PROFITTING the MOST.

GREED hurts every person on this plant when we have finite resources and not only OIL, which is a driving force for the worlds economies and just one life line for mankinds survival.

So we should all encourage this bill to go forward and include WALL STREET, with its passge being urgently required.

Lastly, do not be influenced by any lobbiest who is employeed by BIG OIL or WALL STREET....keep them out of any testifying or comments made to any committees on this bill. 
IT IS WE THE PEOPLE who are being served not BIG business or lobbyist, both of whom should be kept away from influencing and decisions made by the Congress and Senate. The WELL BEING of the NATION and the WORLD is at STAKE and not there greedy pockets</description>
