On the recordOctober 11, 2001
I tell the distinguished Senator from Michigan and the distinguished Senator from Massachusetts, who made such strong and valid points on money laundering, we just received from the administration their statement of policy saying: This includes money laundering, other financial infrastructure provisions arising from separate legislative proposals. These provisions were added to this bill after unanimous approval to have these provisions in the Senate Banking Committee. The administration supports the effort to strengthen this-- And so on. They are extremely important, and I can assure both Senators that I will strongly support retention of this in conference.
