I regret that this resolution is before us. It is not in the spirit of how we have worked on pension legislation in this Congress earlier. I am proud of the work that the gentleman from Ohio and I have done in a bipartisan way to bring forward pension legislation. But let me remind my friend the gentleman from Ohio that the legislation that we are considering today came to this body through the Committee on Ways and Means in a bipartisan way, but the Committee on Rules adopted an Education and Workforce version which was not in keeping with the way that we proceeded in a bipartisan manner and in fact contained provisions concerning investment advice which I think is very damaging and needs to be corrected, and I think many people believe that. Responsible corporate management is very important for the workers of a company. How much you compensate or how you try to get around the accounting rules or what you do about executive compensation speaks to the manner in which you run a company and manage a company.
