On the recordApril 19, 2010
I can say, to my knowledge, 6, 8 months--maybe longer-- this has been in the process. It passed over in the House of Representatives. It came over here, and I know it has been under active consideration. We did have health care reform going. But I know Senator Dodd and the Banking Committee, at least for the last several months, have been working with the Republicans trying to engage them in this process. So to say this is being sprung on them without notice I do not think is accurate.
