Mr. President, Senator Merkley and I, as the principal authors of sections 619, 620, and 621 of the Dodd-Frank Act, thought it might be helpful to explain in some detail those sections, which are based on our bill, S. 3098, called the Protect Our Recovery Through Oversight of Proprietary, PROP, Trading Act of 2010, and the subsequently filed Merkley-Levin Amendment, No. 4101, to the Dodd- Lincoln substitute, which was the basis of the provision adopted by the Conference Committee. I yield the floor to my colleague, Senator Merkley.
