Senate Fails to Move Ahead on Financial Regulation Bill
By GREG HITT And DAMIAN PALETTA
WASHINGTON—A bid by Senate Democratic leaders to end more than three
weeks of debate on sweeping legislation overhauling regulation of U.S.
financial markets unexpectedly failed, amid Democratic discord Wednesday
over proposals to further crack down on Wall Street.
The 57-42 roll call fell short of the 60 votes needed to close off
debate and represented a setback for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,
who orchestrated the showdown in hopes of clearing the floor for other
high-priority bills, including legislation funding military operations
in Iraq and Afghanistan. "We have to put this thing to rest," Sen. Reid
said.
For weeks, Sen. Reid has tussled with Republicans over the financial
bill, including a high-profile fight over whether debate should even
begin. Now he is struggling with the competing demands of liberal
Democrats pushing proposals to impose new limits on bank activities,
beyond those already included in a 1,400 page bill designed to close the
regulatory gaps and end the speculative trading practices that
contributed to the collapse of U.S. financial markets two years ago.
Two Democrats, Sens. Russell Feingold of Minnesota and Maria Cantwell of
Washington, broke with party leaders and voted against closing debate.
Sen. Cantwell is pushing an amendment that would re-impose Depression-
era rules that would bar traditional banks from affiliating with
investment firms, and wants assurances the proposal will be voted on
before a final vote is called on the broader bill.
Sen. Reid said "we'll continue working on this" bill, but a final vote
is not likely now until Friday and Mr. Reid must first find a way to
meet the demands of Sen. Cantwell and others who want to further
restrict Wall Street.
Earlier Wednesday, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd
dropped a controversial derivatives proposal he offered Tuesday after it
met stiff resistance from an unusual coalition of Wall Street bankers
and liberal Democrats.
Mr. "Dodd will not bring up the derivatives amendment he had filed,"
said his spokeswoman Kiristin Brost.
The backlash came after the Connecticut Democrat tried to craft a
provision to strip out another controversial part of the financial
overhaul bill, which would have forced big banks to spin off their
derivatives operations into affiliates. The Federal Reserve, Federal
Deposit Insurance Corp,. and Treasury Department had criticized this
provision, which was originally offered by Senate Agriculture Committee
Chairman Blanche Lincoln (D., Ark.) and Mr. Dodd (D., Conn.) thought he
found a way to fix it.
His amendment would have delayed for two years any ban on derivatives
trading and given the Treasury Secretary the ability to quash the
proposal outright. Liberal Democrats loudly voiced their opposition,
claiming Mr. Dodd was trying to gut a central part of their effort to
crack down on Wall Street banks. Wall Street banks complained almost as
loudly, saying the two-year window would create uncertainty and make it
nearly impossible for them to offer derivatives contracts.
Mr. Dodd conceded in a brief interview that it was unlikely any other
changes would be offered to the derivatives piece of the broader bill
now, with debate expected to end later this week. He would have had a
hard time finding support for his change, after many Democrats and
Republicans slammed it immediately.
Sen. Judd Gregg (R., N.H.) on the Senate floor Wednesday blasted Mr.
Dodd's proposal as a "convoluted exercise in chaos" and a "Byzantine
exercise in regulatory absurdity." | d****7

Why is that so certain? Thanks!

共和党又提出对银行施加新的限制。
Russ Feingold 和Maria Cantwell都是民主党的，却投了票反对。Cantwell提出推动一
项修正案，就是再次采用大萧条时期的规定，禁止银行设立附属投资机构。
最后表决不太可能在周五（5月21日）通过。 |
