John Sarbanes: “They do have to report publicly. They are now required to report publicly under the legislation that governs reporting…”

On the recordJuly 9, 2002
They do have to report publicly. They are now required to report publicly under the legislation that governs reporting and disclosure. The Senator is speaking as though there are no such requirements. The fact of it is that there is an elaborately developed framework. Now, the Department of Labor may not be carrying it out fully, as the statute would require. They may be falling short in that regard, but if that is the case, the way to remedy the situation is to provide the resources to the Department of Labor and call upon them to do their job.
