“I must say that it is my observation over a weekend of deliberations things were changed in that particular bill that we needed to address, and we did. And so the Senate spoke 84 to 16 to endorse the reforms, and they are not passive reforms, that were worked on by a whole group of Senators--Senator Grams, myself, Senator Hagel, Senator Biden, Senator McConnell, and Senator Stevens. Basically, what are we talking about here? We require consensus in regard to achieving these reforms not only with the G-7 nations but the 37 other nations involved. This isn't just a U.S. IMF program. Under the Kyl amendment, he says that we have to micromanage basically from Congress, from the U.S. standpoint something called a board of executive directors. That process is very slow. We don't have the time in regard to that, with the global contagion, maybe the global pneumonia, that is occurring right now. So the Senate has spoken 84 to 16. I would point out that the seriousness of this is extremely critical.”
