Sherrod Brown: “I agree and agree to work with Chairman Crapo and with his successor as Banking Committee chairman, with Senator…”

“I agree and agree to work with Chairman Crapo and with his successor as Banking Committee chairman, with Senator Grassley, and with appropriate administration officials consistent with that intent. I share the desire to ensure that adequate funds are provided and agree that the best way to do so is through the creation of a fund that is to be used exclusively for the payment of whistleblower awards. Such a fund should also provide for awards of at least 10 percent of the funds in cases covered by the bill. I will work with Senator Grassley to make clear that this is our intent to administration officials.”
