On the recordSeptember 12, 1995

Mr. Chairman, referring to the interpretive bulletin, which to my knowledge was the very first time that there was an official interpretation of the prudent man rule, they take sections 403 and 404 and they say: Here, we are going to interpret that. And they interpret the ETI to mean that the very first thing that an investor ought to do is to look for the socially correct or politically correct investments. Mr. Chairman, that is a new and novel policy; and then to spend millions of dollars to go out and hawk and hype that. That is not a watchdog, that is a courier.
