“The question of protection for consumers is very important. It is a very complicated title. I hope everyone in the Senate wants to plug the holes that existed with respect to some of the previous price manipulations that went on, on the west coast. My hope is that it is not just a case of allowing people to offer amendments but to have the staffs on both sides to actively work together so that we understand these provisions and actually plug the holes that exist that failed to protect consumers on the west coast in the last couple of years. I know that is what the Senator would like to have happen. I know we have people on this side who want that to happen. I hope we can work together to make sure we understand it and then fix it.”
