On the recordApril 29, 2010
again, I commend our colleague from California and thank her for her involvement and her ideas and suggestions. Again, it is going to be helpful that we begin with a proposal that I think is going to bring us together. As I said--I cannot speak for others; but at least I have heard, when I have asked people to comment on the Senator's proposal--there seems to be almost unanimity around the Senator's idea. In a debate that is obviously going to have us not with unanimity, as we move forward in a number of areas, I think it is always good to begin where we speak with one voice. I think that common voice is making sure we never again have that too-big-to-fail concept as part of our economic structure. The Senator will be making a significant and historic contribution to this effort, and I thank her.
