On the recordAugust 4, 1998
Ms. Barshefsky, as well as her Associate Deputy Representative Fisher, have done an outstanding job in responding to the Members of Congress in the last week and have done an outstanding job bringing together the various factions to discuss this issue. But, in further response to the inquiry of the gentleman, I have requested that Mr. Fisher contact Ms. Barshefsky and ask her to do an on-ground investigation of Yasuda, because in my opinion, Yasuda, the Japanese insurance company, is trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the United States insurance industry by buying a 10-percent interest in an American company and contending that that is a foreign country when they already have an agreement, as soon as this thing is expiring, then they can take over that entire entity.
