Reply #37: This is interesting _ Kerry NO, McCain YES

[karynnj]

Here's the short story:

They passed this by putting it into H.R. 4577, the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2001 on June 30, 2000 . That bill funded a huge number of things. Labor HHS Education Appropriations; H.R. 5657 - Legislative Branch Appropriations; H.R. 5658 - Treasury Appropriations; H.R. 5666 - Miscellaneous Appropriations - except section 123 relating to the enactment of H.R. 4904; H.R. 5660 - Commodity Futures Modernization; H.R. 5661 - Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Benefits Improvement and Protection; H.R. 5662 - Community Renewal Tax Relief and Medical Savings Accounts; H.R. 5663 - New Markets Venture Capital Program; and H.R. 5667 - Small Business Reauthorization.

As you can see it is not related to anything in the bill and there were no votes on adding it that I can find. All the amendments voted on are on other things Kerry has one for more funding for computer literacy program, McCain to put filters on school's internet access - Kerry's failed, Mccain's passed.

Here is the House Sponsor's introduction:
THE COMMODITY FUTURES MODERNIZATION ACT OF 2000 -- HON. THOMAS W. EWING (Extensions of Remarks - December 14, 2000)



---

HON. THOMAS W. EWING
OF ILLINOIS
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, December 14, 2000

* Mr. EWING. Mr. Speaker, today, I am introducing the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 which provides us with an historic opportunity to modernize the U.S. futures and over-the-counter market laws.

* The time is now to ensure that the United States continued to be the world's financial leader. We have two of the three largest futures exchanges in the world, however, our antiquated laws and regulations prevent them from being as efficient and effective as possible to compete in global markets. The legal uncertainty surrounding the U.S. over-the-counter markets must be removed to prevent domestic business from migrating overseas and causing our share of these $90 trillion markets to shrink.

* The Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 contains the major provisions of the House passed H.R. 4541. These provisions are in titles I and II of the legislation and provide regulatory relief for the domestic futures exchanges, legal certainty for over-the-counter products, and allow for the trading of single stock futures.

* This latest version of the legislation adds two new titles not included in the original House passed bill. Title III, Legal Certainty for Swap Agreements, provides guidelines for the SEC's role in regulating swaps.

* Title IV, the ``Legal Certainty for Bank Products Act of 2000'', excludes identified banking products from the Commodity Exchange Act. It provides guidelines to determine the proper regulator for hybrid products. If the regulators do not agree on who should regulate a product, the court will decide.

* Senator LUGAR and Senator GRAMM have worked tirelessly in the Senate, with the



House, and with the Administration to make this bill possible.

* Secretary Summers in coordination with Chairman Rainer and Chairman Levitt and countless numbers of their staff put in many hours working through this language to reach agreement.

* Finally, I would like to thank Chairman COMBEST, Chairman LEACH, Chairman BLILEY and all the Ranking Members who have worked so hard on this legislation, particularly to pass the H.R. 4541 version of this bill through the House, and to produce the final package we have presented today. Everyone involved and their staff should be commended for their extraordinary efforts.

* It is my hope that this legislation will enable America to continue being the world leader in financial markets for decades to come.

Here is the information on HR 4541, that is mentioned above as having had similar provisions:
