I will wrap up very quickly. We saw today, for example, in a matter of a moment or two, Procter & Gamble--one of America's premier companies--fall from $60 to $39. We saw another company fall from around $30 to a penny stock. This was not…
Madam President, I rise to speak very briefly, following the comments of my colleague from South Carolina on the pending amendment that I know has received broad bipartisan support. I also wish to comment on what happened in the market…
