Chris Dodd: “I say to my colleague, you have to give assurance that none of this information either indirectly or directly would go…”

I say to my colleague, you have to give assurance that none of this information either indirectly or directly would go to the Court in allowing for the prosecution of those people.

That is what I mean about this bill.
