I expect that testing to take place elsewhere.

So, I'll expect a report back on--when that investigating team is in Virginia and the results of that investigation?

I am very, very troubled by your comments on AIG and our obligation to maintain the 100 cents on the dollar in the counterparties.

I think we could get it through very quickly.

I just do not believe that the reaction of the market would be so traumatic at this point if we sent out warning signals.

There is a great deal of interest in taking on the comprehensive.

We all have been waiting for some time for the release of the so-called stress test results.

I would like to go back, on my own remaining time, to the notion that the Chairman raised in terms of systemic risk.

It might force some of our banks to move quicker into which assets they might be willing to dispose of.

But one of the things we need to do is make sure that that information that may currently reside in the day-to-day prudential regulator actually would get pushed up and actually shared.
