Joe Biden
Mr. President, I rise today to oppose, in the strongest terms possible, H.R. 1058 -- inappropriately titled the "Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995." This bill has nothing to do with reform in the normal sense of the term. Rather, the bill is about protection from liability for fraud -- pure and simple. The bill is the worst kind of special interest legislation that the American public is sick and tired of.

It will give corporations a license to lie to investors and will severely restrict the ability of defrauded investors to recover their hard-earned dollars from the unscrupulous and reckless individuals and corporations who swindled them.

Joe Biden
Six months ago, I stood on the Senate floor and urged my colleagues to oppose this bill in its earlier incarnation because -- put simply -- it was a bad bill. Because it was a bad bill, every major consumer group, State attorneys general, State and county treasurers, mayors, finance officers, labor unions, the American Association of Retired Persons, the National League of Cities, educators, and hundreds of other nations, State, and local organizations, opposed the bill.

It is easy to understand why when you consider that a city like San Francisco has over $8 billion in pension funds and other investments and when more than 60 State and local governments nationwide have lost more than $3.6 billion in securities markets, partly due to derivative investments.

Despite the tremendous opposition to H.R. 1058, which was a bad bill in June, it is a worse bill now. Therefore, I strongly urge my colleagues to oppose it.

What is most disturbing about this bill is the impact that it will have on what are often the forgotten Americans -- that is, average middle-class Americans.

Joe Biden
At a time when job and wage insecurity are at all-time highs, and family budgets are straining at the seams, middle-class Americans have begun investing their hard-earned dollars in stocks in record numbers. In fact, as the Washington Post reported just a few days ago, securities have supplanted real estate as the No. 1 source of family nest eggs.

Middle-class Americans believe they must invest because there may not be a decent pension when they retire -- either they will be let go too soon because of corporate down-sizing or their company, to which they have been loyal, will not be there 20 or 30, or even 10 years from now.

Middle-class Americans also want to invest for the future because they aren't sure that Social Security or Medicare will be there for them in their later years when they are most vulnerable.

Last, middle-class Americans believe they must invest to ensure that their children are able to receive an education that provides them with the essential skills to enable them to become productive and integral participants in what will be an extremely competitive and global work force in the 21st century.

Because middle-class Americans recognize the need to secure and protect their financial futures, they have entered to stock market directly -- or through mutual funds -- to such a degree that the most significant asset held by American families today is not their home, but their 401(k) plan. Today, assets in 401(k) plans total more than $500 billion. Assets in investment retirement accounts total more than $1 trillion. The majority of these funds are in stocks.

The principal philosophy governing these two laws -- enacted more than 60 years ago after the stock market crash of 1929, caused largely by a crisis of confidence due to unregulated fraudulent stock promotion -- is that investors and prospective investors should have access to all material information about corporations that offer securities so that the public can make informed investment decisions and that honest markets should be maintained by strong antifraud enforcement.

At a time when middle-class Americans are investing in record numbers because they believe they must, the U.S. Congress should be strengthening the most fundamental protections for investors in our securities laws, not gutting them. Yet, gutting these laws is exactly what this bill does.

One of the most outrageous provisions in this bill is the safe harbor provision. This provision, by providing broad immunity from liability for fraudulent corporate predictions and projections, essentially gives corporations a license to lie. This provision is much worse than the safe harbor provision in the Senate bill.

[[Page S 17992]] The Senate bill language that made knowingly fraudulent defendants ineligible for the safe harbor was eliminated. Now, under this bill, deliberately fraudulent statements, written or oral, as long as they are accompanied by cautionary language, will be immunized from private liability. Let me repeat -- this bill protects deliberately fraudulent statements.

Let me give you a frightening but likely scenario that could occur under the safe harbor provision in this bill: In an effort to entice unsuspecting consumers to purchase stock, company X makes a bunch of optimistic and fraudulent predictions about how great a new product will perform and how the company's profits will increase because of the manufacture of this new product. The company gets its lawyers and accountants to vouch for the representations.

Based on these rosy predictions, your uncle, your grandmother, your sister's teacher's union, your church, and the State of California decide to purchase the stock. All of them wind up losing their money when the fraud is exposed. Your grandmother believes the company should not be able to get away with lying to her. The company's lawyers argue, however, that even though there were fraudulent statements, there was a paragraph of cautionary language in some filing at the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under this bill, grandma loses, all the swindled investors lose, and the fraudulent company and its lawyers and accountants win.

To add insult to injury, this bill also fails to restore traditional aiding and abetting liability for securities fraud in private actions. Thus, lawyers, accountants, and others who turn a blind eye to the fraudulent activity of their clients, or who recklessly aid and abet their clients, will be let off scott free.

The bill also dramatically erodes the doctrine of joint and several liability and moves to a system of proportionate liability. The bottom line for an investor is that under this bill, if a corporate defendant is found guilty of fraud and goes bankrupt, the victim will not be able to recover all of his losses. In essence, what this bill does is determine, as policy matter, that it is more important to protect adjudged wrongdoers from having to pay more than their strict proportion of the harm than it is to protect the innocent victims of fraud.

Another of the troubling provisions in this bill, is the one which adopts a higher pleading standard than was in the Senate bill -- higher in fact than the standard adopted by the second circuit -- which is currently the highest standard in the land.

As my colleague Senator Specter discussed earlier, it was Senator Specter who offered an amendment that clarified that the heightened pleading standard in the Senate bill could be satisfied by evidence of a defendant's motive and opportunity to commit securities fraud. The current version of this bill, however, eliminates the language in the Specter amendment.

This bill is also worse than the Senate bill because it imposes a mandatory loser-pays fee shifting penalty under rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that is harsher on plaintiffs than on defendants.

The Senate bill required courts to determine whether any party violated rule 11 and to presume that the appropriate penalty for violating rule 11 is fee shifting. Under the Senate bill, the party who violated rule 11 would have to pay the opposing party's legal fees incurred as a direct result of the violation.

The bill on the floor today is worse than the Senate bill because it unfairly increased the penalty imposed against plaintiffs who are found to have violated rule 11 while not doing so for defendants who are found to have violated rule 11. The presumptive penalty for plaintiffs is have to pay all of the defendant's legal fees and costs incurred in the entire action.

This bill, unlike the Senate bill, also adopts a provision, modeled on the House bill, that may require plaintiffs to post a bond to cover a possible fee-shifting penalty. Moreover, there is no limitation on the amount of the bond. This could be a major obstacle for individual victims or their attorneys in bringing a meritorious action against a large corporation defendant. The bill also fails to restore an adequate statute of limitations for private securities fraud actions, and gives the greatest control in cases to the wealthiest plaintiffs.

Lastly, as someone who has long sought to do what he could to combat crimes of all kind, I also find it incredible that language in the Senate bill concerning the application of our RICO laws in securities fraud cases has been almost eliminated entirely.

Under an amendment I offered, the Senate bill allowed the RICO statute to be used in a securities fraud civil case if at least one person in the civil case has been criminally convicted. Under this bill, RICO could only be used in the civil case against the person who was actually criminally convicted.

I am sure that there is not one Member in this body who does not want to bring an end to all frivolous lawsuits, not just shareholder lawsuits. Yet, the legislation before us today is not the answer -- it is far from it.

Just before Thanksgiving there was an article on the front page of the New York Times about a constituent of mine who received a benefit of $2.91 from a class action suit concerning overcharges in mortgage escrow accounts, but had $91.00 removed from his account to pay the attorney's fees of class counsel. I will soon be introducing legislation to protect consumers from these types of abuses.

There are undoubtedly abusive securities class actions as well. But the key to reforming this area of the law, like all litigation reform, is to devise remedies that will weed out the frivolous lawsuits while allowing the meritorious ones to go forward.

The conference report under consideration contains a number of necessary and well-crafted reforms. It requires that class members receive intelligible notices explaining the terms of class action settlements, prohibits secret settlement agreements, and promotes enforcement of rules sanctioning attorneys for unethical behavior.

Unfortunately, the conference report also contains provisions that will prevent potentially meritorious cases from being pursued. In some instances, those who knowingly and intentionally mislead investors will be fully immunized from liability. Consequently, I will vote against this conference bill as I did when it was first considered by the Senate.

I am especially concerned about the consequences that the bill will have on [[Page S 17993]] the elderly. The Special Committee on Aging, which I chair, has held a series of hearings on fraud against small, unsophisticated investors.

The committee's investigation revealed that in an era of low interest rates, when retirees are seeking out higher yield investments, the elderly are particularly vulnerable to securities scams. Fraud against the elderly is particularly odious because their savings cannot be replaced by new earnings -- losses resulting from fraud can affect middle-income seniors' standard of living for the rest of their lives.

The safe-harbor contained in the conference report shields issuers of securities, or those working on their behalf, from lawsuits based on predictive statements they make about the future performance of a stock. The immunity is absolute, so long as the predictions are accompanied with cautionary statements indicating that actual results may differ from those predicted.

The effect of this safe harbor is that corporate officials are immune from suit even if they make factual statements that they know to be false and that are intended to mislead investors. At least under the Senate bill, knowing and intentionally misleading statements would have been actionable. I am disappointed that the conference committee chose to broaden, rather than narrow, this provision.

The bill requires that before initiating a suit a plaintiff must be able to allege specific facts giving rise to a strong inference of the defendants' state of mind. A Senate amendment clarifying how plaintiffs could meet this burden was dropped by the conference. In addition, the bill prohibits plaintiffs from taking any discovery before it must defend a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

Together, the pleading standard and the bar on discovery will make it extraordinarily difficult to maintain a lawsuit because it is virtually impossible to prove the state of mind of a party until you have an opportunity to conduct interviews and examine documents.

These and other provisions will not only deter frivolous lawsuits, but will create roadblocks and obstacles to suits that seek recoveries for genuine victims of fraud. For decades these private class action lawsuits have provided a necessary supplement to the enforcement efforts of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Enforcement of the securities laws and the confidence in our markets that these laws have engendered have contributed to making our stock markets the most robust in the world. The benefits this legislation is intended to achieve -- the deterrence of abusive litigation -- does not justify the potential costs of weakening an enforcement scheme that has effectively protected our markets for many years.

I am proud to say that I served on the conference committee which produced this report. As a freshman Senator, I was particularly honored to play a role in crafting legislation which will benefit so many Americans who find themselves victimized by the social costs of frivolous litigation.

The legislation before us today, H.R. 1058, is entitled the "Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995." In my opinion, a better title would have been the "Investors, Workers and Consumers Legal Protection Act." After all, this legislation is designed to protect those very people -- investors, workers and consumers -- from the high cost of meritless and abusive litigation.

Today, we have an opportunity to make some modest and reasonable changes which will help weed out the most abusive lawsuits in the field of securities litigation while at the same time, preserving the right of action for shareholders who are truly victimized by securities fraud.

In addition, I am pleased that this legislation does not extend the current statute of limitations established by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1991 Lampf decision. That's one year from the date the plaintiff knew of the alleged violation and 3 years from the date the alleged violation occurred.

While some critics of this legislation have seized upon the statute of limitations as a wedge to defeat this important bill, they have failed to present a convincing case for why this period should be extended.

They have tried to suggest that the current statute of limitations has curbed the number of meritorious cases filed in the courts, but the evidence proves otherwise.

According to the administrative office of the U.S. courts, during the 4 years prior to the Lampf decision, the average number of cases filed was 162 per year. In the 4-year period since Lampf, the average number of cases filed has risen to 278 per year, an increase of nearly 72 percent.

Contrary to the claims of the bill's opponents, securities litigation has increased under Lampf, not decreased. This should not be surprising, given the fact that many of these claims can now be filed within days, even hours, after a movement in the market.

A longer period would simply allow speculators too much time to wait and see how their decisions to buy or sell securities turned out, permitting them to abuse our legal system to cover their losses in the market.

In addition, a longer period of limitations would make it more difficult for innocent defendants to protect themselves in court. Forcing companies to keep track of every rise and fall of their stock value for 5 years and allowing strike suit attorneys to attack job creators well after the memory of a reasonable person would have faded would only lead to more frivolous litigation, more exorbitant settlements, and more pain for investors, workers and consumers.

Under current law, plaintiffs with meritorious claims have more than enough time to file their suits; unfortunately, so too do strike suit attorneys. Even with the enactment of this bill, some meritless claims will survive. If our intent is to reverse the current litigation explosion, why would we want to invite more frivolous lawsuits by extending the statute of limitations?

In June, when this legislation was debated on the Senate floor, 52 of our colleagues wisely decided to retain the current statute of limitations. That was the right decision in June and it is the right decision today, and I am pleased that this conference report preserves current law.

None of us are totally satisfied with this legislation. There are some supporters who feel that certain provisions in the conference report go too far. [[Page S 17994]] There are others like me who would like to see this legislation go further. But I think we can all agree that this conference report does what it's supposed to do: protect legitimate investors, save jobs, and preserve the right of actions for true victims of securities fraud.

When I think of this bill, I am reminded of a quote by one of the strike suit attorneys who testified on this subject before the Senate Banking Committee. In a moment of honesty, this prominent and wealthy securities action lawsuit attorney said: "I have the best practice of law in the world. I have no clients." In my opinion, these words best illustrate the problem that this legislation is designed to address.

Mr. President, if I may, there has been some discussion as to the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission on this piece of legislation. I have in my possession a letter dated November 22, signed by Arthur Levitt, the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, who has written to the Los Angeles Times, the editor, Mr. Coffey. I am just going to read a portion of his statement: "I am concerned and disappointed with several major points in today's Los Angeles Times article entitled `SEC Chief Shift on Investor Bill is Linked to Senate Pressure.' " The Chairman goes on to say, "The article is wrong in reporting that I now support the litigation reform bill." I think that needs to be said. The Chairman of the SEC has not and does not support the legislation in the current form.

Mr. President, I realize it is very easy to demonize lawyers. Some of my colleague who have taken the opportunity this afternoon and this morning to do so would not be the first to do that. Dating back to the time of Shakespeare, "The first thing we ought to do," Shakespeare said, "is kill all the lawyers." I believe this is not a warm, cuddly group that is easy to love. Having once practiced law, I share some of that antipathy to lawyers, when lawyers get out of line, as they from time to time do.

Let me try to turn this to a broader perspective: Over 150 editorials and columns that have appeared in newspapers across the United States, in every region, newspapers whose philosophies are conservative, liberal, middle of the road. Overwhelmingly, the informed judgment and opinion by these editorial writers is in strong opposition to the bill -- not because they do not recognize, as I, and I think all of my colleagues do, that we need to make some changes with respect to the frivolous lawsuits, but because this bill goes far beyond that.

It is really a Trojan horse in which those who seek to minimize or immunize themselves from liability have entered into the courtyard under this frivolous lawsuit flag, when in point of fact they are trying to protect themselves from liability after their misconduct has been adjudicated.

Among those organizations that have expressed their opposition are the National League of Cities, the National Association of Counties, the Government Finance Officers Association, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the Municipal Treasurers Association. I do not know what the political affiliation is of all of these people, but I daresay if you examine it you would find Republicans and Democrats alike that hold these offices, all essentially reaching the same conclusion, that they and their constituent interests, namely, the people who live in these various communities, are at risk in terms of being protected in the event that investor fraud causes them to lose money in any of the portfolios they hold in behalf of the public, as members of counties or cities, municipal officers, and others.

I suspect that this group is about as neutral and objective as any that you might find. I think it is instructive that virtually all have expressed their strong opposition. They are extremely concerned that they might be the next Orange County. It could happen in their State, in their county, in their city to their university investment portfolio, and they know that they would be irreparably damaged if we do not take corrective action to balance this piece of legislation.

In recent weeks, well over 1,000 State and local officials and opinion leaders have written the Congress and the President to express their strong opposition. Among those letters, Mr. President, is a letter signed by 99 California government officials, including the Mayors of San Francisco and San Jose and officials in 43 of the State's 58 counties; a letter signed by 34 county treasurers in Arkansas; a letter signed by 24 opinion leaders in Iowa, including the State's Attorney General Tom Miller; a letter signed by 51 public officials in Georgia; a letter signed by 51 Maine opinion leaders, including State Treasurer Sam Shapiro and 9 State legislators; a letter signed by 60 public officials in Massachusetts, including the Massachusetts Association of County Commissioners; a letter signed by 33 opinion leaders in Montana, including Attorney General Joseph Mazurek and State Auditor Mark O'Keefe; a letter signed by 39 officials in New Jersey, including the New Jersey Conference of Mayors and the New Jersey League of Municipalities; a letter signed by 27 Ohio public officials, including the mayor of Cincinnati and the Ohio County Treasurers Association; a letter signed by 27 Vermont opinion leaders.

My point is that this spans the continent, from east to west, from north to south. Whether one is liberal, conservative, or middle of the road, virtually all have concluded that this legislation overreaches and clearly places those persons in their communities and their States at risk as a consequence of this legislation.

Mr. President, the conference report fails to do what S. 240 failed to do -- and I, therefore, cannot support it.

The conference report, put simply, fails to ensure adequate protection of the rights of the innocent victim of securities fraud, and, in fact, makes it harder for the small investor to gain access to the courts and obtain a full recovery for securities fraud.

Mr. President, let me express my appreciation to the Senator from Alabama for his comments and for his balance. I believe he would agree with me that there are abuses that need to be corrected. None of us who oppose this legislation are arguing the status quo is what we favor. Indeed, he is a cosponsor with me of the legislation that would have dealt with a number of those things. The Senator will recall that incorporated in that we had provisions to eliminate bonus payments being paid to brokers. That is dead wrong. He and I agree on that.

The Senator would agree with me, I am sure, that payments that would be made as bonus payments to certain plaintiffs are wrong as well. The referral fees -- we clearly agree that before a settlement should be effected, the lawyers on behalf of the plaintiffs need to make a full disclosure as to what the terms of the settlement are to be. And we fully agreed that, if there are frivolous lawsuits, the courts need to be very aggressive in imposing sanctions.

I believe in any piece of legislation we need balance. We need balance for the people who are the issuers of stock in the public domain. But, on the other hand, we need some safeguards for the investor. If you do not have balance in a situation, you are going to have trouble later.

I believe this bill is not a panacea. This bill is fraught with danger. I think it is a bad bill the way it is constructed today, but it could have been a good bill if we had stayed with the basics and if we were able to work out a bipartisan approach to a very serious thing, and that is excessive litigation.

No one, I believe, in his right mind could do anything but agree that a lot of litigation is out of control in America. But how do you balance that? I believe we have that responsibility and obligation, to make sure it is balanced, especially when you are dealing with people who probably are not going to be as sophisticated about the marketplace as people who come to the marketplace, but will invest their life savings and will invest everything they have. And what remedy will they have in the future as victims? I think this is what some of this is about.

He mentioned a lot of organizations, institutions, and editorial writers who are opposed to this bill. I guess if I had a chance to ask those associations, institutions, and editorial writers a question, I would just ask one. Let us assume in addressing them that I am saying, "Mr. Jones," -- that addresses all of them -- "did you know that the investors' share of what is collected in a lawsuit of the type we are concerned about, out of every dollar collected, that 14 cents goes to the investor?" That is that poor stockholder that everybody is talking about being sorry for. Fourteen cents goes to that person, and the balance, if my arithmetic is correct, 86 cents goes to the lawyers, court costs, deposition costs, and the other things.

That is why the program needs to be fixed. There is no doubt about it. This part of the American judicial system and litigation system is not working. It is not worth the consequences to the enterprises being affected that normal litigation brings to the marketplace of American capitalism. It is sort of part of the system that has gone eccentric, that lawyers have found a bird's nest on the ground, and this is the result -- settlements all over the place, deep pocket lawsuits, and even with all of that available to the lawyers of this country, 14 cents goes to that little investor whom everybody is trying to protect.

I would like to close by saying I am very pleased that the oldest and largest investment group around that takes care of small stockholders, the National Association of Investors Corp., which has a letter to the President saying protect their stockholders, endorses this.

There is a long list here of investors who say to the President, "We want [[Page S 17996]] your support." There is a huge list from the American Business Conference to the public trading companies, maybe 30 of them.

Mr. President, let me compliment my friend from New Mexico. I know he is sincere. He has been laboring in the vineyards for a good many years on this legislation. Let me say by way of rebuttal that, if this legislation was about how we could increase that 14 cents that the investors currently receive according to the information provided, I would like to work with him. In point of fact, the concern is that this legislation will, in many cases, reduce the recovery to zero and in no instance is there a provision in this bill that would enhance the recovery beyond the 14 cents even if recovery is possible.

Finally, let me say by way of winding it up, our friend, the distinguished chairman of the Select Committee on Aging, has certainly provided a number of insights in terms of who really gets hurt in this legislation. He points out cogently and definitively that the seniors in America are going to be among its principal victims.
