On the recordJuly 1, 1999
Madam Chairman, what we are talking about here is a banking system and a financial system that is going to be fair and open. The gentleman, I am sure, will recall that this amendment was adopted unanimously, unanimously by the House last year. This is not something that has been snuck up into the proceedings in some curious fashion, it was in the bill last year. It was adopted overwhelmingly in the Committee on Commerce. It simply says, disclose. Tell the truth. There is nothing wrong with that. Madam Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time, with an expression of respect and affection for my colleague on the other side.
