On the recordSeptember 12, 1995
I would just point out very quickly that as the last speaker indicated, ETI's have been around for quite some time in the context of an investor, a pension fund manager coming to the Department of Labor during the Bush or Clinton administration and requesting an advisory opinion on an ETI. What is different in this administration is that $1 million has been spent to create a group to promote ETI's; people have traveled around the country making speeches promoting ETI's, and in fact, people who are here to regulate pension funds and pension fund managers have knocked on people's doors and said gee, we think as regulators it would be a great idea for you to do ETI's. That, Mr. Chairman, is very, very different.
