I think you are referring, Senator, to Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act, which requires disclosure of the ratio between the amount of the CEO's compensation and the median employee of a large public company.

Yes, sir. They have no way to know.

I think if the SEC engages in a careful cost-benefit analysis that limits the work the firms have to do, the rule could provide valuable information.

In my view, it is important for regulators to require firms to separate the times that options and restricted shares can be cashed from the time in which such shares and options vest.

As hard as it may be to believe, occasionally, Senators make mistakes and I am one of them.

Thank you very much.

I think what really many of us struggle with who have never had to face your responsibility...

I think this bill probably gets us close, but we would probably want this Committee and VA to look a little bit broader range of solutions to the problem.

The VFW strongly supports this legislation.

We thank Senator Casey and the original cosponsors of this legislation for its introduction, and we urge its passage.
