It is my hope that the Banking Committee will have an oversight hearing prior to the February 28 deadline. Chairman Riegle has indicated he will hold hearings. I believe they have become almost academic. If we do not toll them prior to the 28th, that will put us into the week of the 22d. I intend to raise this issue because, indeed, if we have not been satisfied that this case will be handled in the normal course, then I believe that it would be proper and correct for us to see if we could not get a determination from them instructing the RTC and setting down guidelines for them to see to it that they take the appropriate action to keep the statute from running out.
