On the recordFebruary 3, 1994

So over a decade. The Senator from New York has watched, as all of us have watched, the savings and loan debacle--hundreds of S&L's and banks going by the wayside with taxpayers of America losing billions and billions of dollars. And here we come to an S&L in the State of Arkansas that perhaps lost some $46 million. The question I pose to the Senator from New York, how many other times has the Senator from New York requested the RTC to give a full-fledged briefing on a single particular savings and loan?
