The Banking Committee reported this bill on April 29 by an overwhelming vote of 14-4. This bill has strong bipartisan support. It comes as no surprise to anybody who has followed the progress of this legislation. This bill is the product of a great deal of hard work. It has been refined through the incorporation of comments from many sources, including the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result of this process, this bill not only has been improved, but it actually enjoys the support of the Securities Exchange Commission and the White House.

Mr. President, I am not going to ask unanimous consent now that letters from the SEC and the White House be printed in the Record as if read, which is something we generally do. I think it is so important that I am going to take the time to refer to both letters and read what has been said, so that my colleagues can hear, and those who are interested in this debate can follow.

So we should underscore that, as a premise, the SEC says, we are going to look for a single standard, but we will preserve the rights of individuals to bring securities lawsuits wherever they choose.

So, Mr. President, we have a concern that was expressed as it existed in the 1995 law, and what the Securities and Exchange Commission said is, look, we want in the new proposal, as it relates to uniform standards, to clearly identify that you did not do away with, but will recognize the scienter standards. That has been accomplished. And I will go back to that.

Our October 1997 testimony also pointed out that S. 1260 could be interpreted to preempt certain state corporate governance claims, a consequence that we believe was neither intended nor desirable. In addition, we expressed concern that S. 1260's definition of class action appeared to be unnecessarily broad. We are grateful for your responsiveness to these concerns and believe that the amendments you propose to offer at the Banking Committee markup, as attached to your letter, will successfully resolve these issues.

So I think it is obvious that there has been considerable ongoing dialog and work between the Chairman of the Subcommittee, Senator Gramm of Texas, the ranking member, Senator Dodd, the Banking Committee staff and the SEC, to look and to deal with what is not only the proposals that we put forth for the first time, but to deal with some of the imperfections and some of the unintended consequences that may have evolved as a result of the 1995 act.

The ongoing dialog between our staffs has been constructive. The result of this dialogue, we believe, is an improved bill with legislative history that makes clear, by reference to the legislative debate in 1995, that Congress did not alter in any way the recklessness standard when it enacted the Reform Act. This will help to diminish confusion in the courts about the proper interpretation of that Act and add important assurances that the uniform standards provided by S. 1260 will contain this vital investor protection.

Mr. President, I took the time to go through this because I think it is important that we understand that this has not been the product of one staff or two staffs. This has not been the product of just the Banking Committee and those in industry who have come to express their concern as to how it is that their class actions are being brought in a frivolous manner, using the State courts to get around what Congress debated and what Congress voted overwhelmingly to bring, which is a standard of conduct that will discourage a race to the courthouse, simply to bring a suit and simply to extort moneys from those who have deep pockets, because these suits can be long, they can be frivolous, and they can be dragged out. The cost factor to the people being sued is enormous -- the time, the distraction, particularly to startup companies, and particularly those who want to let people know what they are doing, but who felt restricted as a result of the suits that were brought.

I am not going to bother going into the history and the comments that have been made by many. But indeed there have been many, which clearly are a stain on the rightful practice of law to ensure the rights of those who have been aggrieved and would hold people responsible for actions that are not tortious, malicious, malevolent, and indeed when there are no actions that should be sustained under any court, but because of the cost involved would have insurance carriers, accountants firms, securities firms, manufacturers, and others, be held to a situation where they have to settle. Who do they settle with? They settle with the moneys that come from the little guy -- their stockholders. So while we say "stockholder derivative actions," the people hurt are indeed the stockholders.

Mr. President, I make note that the SEC informed the Banking Committee and the Subcommittee Chairman and ranking member on March 24. It was fully a month thereafter, on April 28, that again the President reaffirmed his support for this action, and in so doing went out of his way to point out that we, indeed, will improve the present state of the law because of the colloquy that will take place and because of the manner in which the law was written.

So here the President of the United States and the SEC and his Commissioner are saying you are improving upon the law as it stands now, in addition -- we will talk about that -- to closing a loophole that has been used by those who rush to the courts to bring suits because they are looking to enrich themselves, not to protect the little guy or the small investors. They are costing the little guy and small investors money. I think the broad-based support that this bill enjoys is a tribute to Senator Gramm. I want to say that for the record. He is here. He worked hard. His staff has worked hard. They have been reasonable. The chief sponsors of this legislation, Senators Gramm and Dodd have put together a tight bill intended to address a specific serious problem.

The problem to which I refer is a loophole that strike lawyers have found in the 1995 Private Securities Litigation Reform Bill which was fashioned again on the most part by Senators Gramm, Dodd, and Domenici.

Mr. President, the 1995 Act was passed in the last Congress in response to a wave of harassment litigation that threatened the efficiency and the integrity of our national stock markets, as well as the value of stock portfolios of individual investors. That is what is being hurt -- the little guy, the small individual investor in whose companies they had a share in were diminished in value as a result of these suits. This threat was particularly debilitating to the so-called high-tech companies who desperately needed access to our capital markets to raise the money needed for research, development, and production of cutting-edge technology. These companies, which have spearheaded our economy's resurgence, are particularly susceptible to strike suits because of the volatility of the price of their stock. Strike lawyers thrive on stock price fluctuations regardless of whether there is even a shred of evidence of fraud.

Mr. President, this is the crux of the matter: That ultimately the cost of strike suits are borne by shareholders, including ordinary people saving for their children's education, or for their retirement. The average American goes into the stock market for long-term appreciation -- i.e., to earn solid rates of return. They do not buy a stock simply to be positioned for a class action when the stock's price drops. It is those people, the ordinary investors, who foot the bill for high-priced settlements of harassment litigation.

We are not talking about preventing legitimate litigation. Real plaintiffs with legitimate claims deserve their day in court. And we preserve that in this bill. But what we have seen in our Federal courts, and what we are now seeing in our State courts is little more than a judicially sanctioned shakedown that only benefits the lawyers. We are talking about lawsuits in which we have nominal plaintiffs, and the lawyers are the only real winners. One of these strike lawyers drove this point home best, one of the biggest and one of the largest, when he bragged that he had "the perfect practice". Why did he say that? He bragged about it. He said he has the "perfect practice." This is the fellow who has the largest, has brought more suits, hundreds of millions of dollars, who said he has "the perfect practice" because he has "no clients." Isn't that incredible? He has no clients. He recovers hundreds of millions of dollars. When it is recovered, who gets most of it? The lawyers do. The so-called clients get hurt because the company which they have stock in loses value. It loses time. It pays millions of dollars. It has higher insurance costs, higher costs for auditing. The auditors have to charge more because they get sued. The insurance companies have to charge more for their premiums because they wind up paying more. Who do you think gets hurt? The little guy. Who benefits? The fellow who says "I have got the perfect practice." Now, let me say this to you. This is a very, very, very small part of the law practice, is very specialized, relatively a handful of attorneys who have this, but let me tell you they hold hostage the companies of America, the private sector of America, as a result of what they can do by bringing these suits, suits that have no merit.

As I have previously mentioned, harassment lawyers found a loophole in which to ply their trade -- the State court system. In the time since the 1995 Act was passed, we have seen these class-action lawyers rush to State courthouses. One witness before the Securities Subcommittee summarized this phenomenon well when he testified that the single fact is that State court class actions involving nationally traded securities were virtually unknown. In other words, prior to our 1995 Act, they just were not known. Now they are brought with some frequency.

This is a national problem. Regardless of where class actions are brought, they impact on the national stock markets. Money is moved away from job-creating, high-tech firms. Money is taken from shareholders in the form of stock price decline as a result of litigation. And where does this money go? It goes into the pockets of a very select cadre of these attorneys.

In addition, these lawsuits have a chilling, a chilling effect on one of the most important provisions in the 1995 Act and that is called the safe harbor provision. Until this loophole is closed, no company can safely risk issuing any forecast, even though the market desperately wants it. So you cannot get a company to say: "This is what we predict; this is what we see," because they are subject to litigation. To do so is to invite a class action and a high-dollar settlement.

If someone makes a prediction and he is off by a little bit, he is sued. If someone makes a prediction, he says: "We think we are going to increase profits or sales by one-third," and he doesn't hit that target, he has a smaller than anticipated increase, that company is going to be sued. And so you cannot get the kind of advice that investors are looking for.

That is not what we want today. The bill's detractors are wrong. It will not prevent shareholder derivative actions or individual lawsuits or lawsuits by school districts or municipalities or State securities regulator enforcement actions or lawsuits relating to "microcap" or "penny" stock fraud. Those actions will still be permitted.

This is important legislation, and it is narrowly drawn to address a specific and serious problem. Time is short. There are very few legislative days remaining in the session, and I encourage my colleagues on both sides of the aisle not only to support this bill and to support the sponsors of this bill, but also that we move forward in a manner which can see that it is speedily enacted. Every day that we delay occasions more of these suits which needlessly cost consumers and stockholders and the American public millions and millions of dollars.

Again, I commend the architects of this legislation, Senators Dodd, Gramm, and Domenici, and I also, again, would point out that we have worked very closely with the Securities and Exchange Commission and with the White House in coming to this point.

Mr. President, I think it is important at the outset of this debate to try to dispel three misconceptions that surround S. 1260. The first is that class-action lawsuits alleging securities fraud have migrated from Federal court to State court since 1995 and the enactment of the earlier legislation.

In fact, as I will describe in some detail shortly, every study indicates that the number of securities fraud class actions brought in State courts, while it increased in 1996, then declined in 1997. So the numbers do not support that assertion.

The next misconception is that this bill would preempt only class- action lawsuits from being brought in State court. In fact, this bill likely will deprive individual investors of their own opportunities to bring their actions in State courts separate and apart from class actions.

The final misperception about this bill, which is suggested, is that it enjoys widespread support. In reality, a broad coalition of State and local officials, senior citizen groups, labor unions, academics, and consumer groups oppose this bill. They oppose it because it goes too far. It will deprive defrauded investors of remedies.

Once again, we have this classic example of being able to sort of try to address a problem and, instead of narrowly dealing with the problem, swinging the pendulum well beyond the problem and taking the so-called corrective legislation so far out that in and of itself it creates additional problems.

Let me turn to the first misperception, the notion that securities fraud class actions are being brought in State court in order to avoid the provisions of the Litigation Act of 1995.

It is correct that the number of such cases went up in 1996, the first year the Litigation Act was effective, but every available study shows that the number declined in 1997. For example, a study done by the National Economic Research Associates, a consulting firm, found that the number of securities class-action suits filed in State courts during the first 10 months of 1996 increased to 79 from 48 filed during the same period in 1995.

In an update released in the summer of 1997, however, NERA found that the number of securities class actions filed in State courts during the first 4 months of 1997 declined to 19, down from 40 in the same period in 1996. So the number actually declined very significantly by more than half the first 4 months of 1997.

These numbers are cited in a report that was prepared by the Congressional Research Service. In July 1997, Professors Joseph Grundfest and Michael Perino of Stanford University Law School testified before the Securities Subcommittee, and in their testimony they show that the number of issuers sued only in State class actions declined from 33 in 1996 to an annualized rate of 18 in 1997. A Price Waterhouse securities litigation study posted by that accounting firm on its Internet site corroborated NERA's findings. Using data compiled by Securities Class Action Alert, based on the number of defendants sued, Price Waterhouse reported that the number of State court actions increased from 52 in 1995 to 66 in 1996 but then declined to 44 in 1997. That was lower than the number of such actions in 1991 or 1993.

The study went on to find that the total number of cases filed in 1997 showed little or no change -- little or no change -- from the average number of lawsuits filed in the period 1991 through 1995.

Data provided to the committee by Price Waterhouse on February 20, 1998, also demonstrated that State court filings declined in 1997. Measured by the number of cases filed, the number of State securities class actions declined from 71 in 1996 to 39 in 1997. So much for this assertion of a rising number of suits being brought in the State courts. This really is a piece of legislation in search of a problem. And when you look at the facts, when you look at the numbers, the problem is not there.

Now let me turn to the notion that this bill addresses only class- action lawsuits. I think most people understand a class-action lawsuit to refer to lawsuits brought by one person on behalf of himself and all other people similarly situated, an anonymous and potentially large group of people. For class actions to be certified in Federal court, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure require that the class be so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable. In Federal court, a judge normally must find that common questions of law and fact predominate over questions only affecting individual members.

Class actions are a tool that allow plaintiffs to share the cost of a lawsuit when it might not be economical for any one of them to bring an action. But, because they can be brought on behalf of potentially an enormous class, they also carry with them the possibility of being misused to coerce defendants into settlement.

This is the sort of situation that is ordinarily described by the proponents of such legislation as requiring a legislative enactment. But when you examine the legislation that comes in behind that assertion, you invariably find that the breadth of the legislation far exceeds this problem which they have identified, and which they constantly use in the discussion and the debate as the example of what they are trying to deal with. If we could limit the legislation to the examples that are cited, we might really come close to obtaining a consensus in this body about corrective measures. But the legislation goes far beyond the examples that are ordinarily used as constituting the basis for legislative enactment, and it is that expanded application of the legislative language, not the specific examples that are generally used, which creates the problem.

This bill is another example of that. It addresses more than the type of class-action case which is ordinarily cited as constituting a potential abuse of the legal process. This bill contains a definition of class action broad enough to pick up individual investors against their will. The bill would amend the Federal Securities laws to include a new definition of class action. It would include as class action any group of lawsuits in which damages are sought on behalf of more than 50 persons if those lawsuits are pending in the same court, involve common questions of law or fact, and have been consolidated as a single action for any purpose.

Even if the lawsuits are brought by separate lawyers without coordination -- in other words, you have 50 different investors who feel they have been cheated and want to bring a lawsuit -- there is no interplay or interaction amongst them, even if the common questions do not predominate -- which is a requirement in class-action suits, but weakened in this legislation -- those lawsuits, under this legislation, may qualify as a class action and thus be preempted.

So if an individual investor chooses to bring his own lawsuit in State court, to bear the expenses of litigation himself, he can be forced into Federal court. He can be made to abide by the Federal Rules if 50 other investors make the same decision about bringing a lawsuit, 50 other separate investors. Indeed, the bill provides an incentive for defendants to collude with parties to ensure that the preemption threshold is reached. Such a result goes well beyond ending abuses associated with class-action lawsuits. It deprives individual investors of their remedies.

The definition of class action in the bill would preempt other types of lawsuits as well. It includes as a class action any lawsuit in which damages are sought on behalf of more than 50 persons and common questions of law or fact predominate. The bill specifies that the predomination inquiry be made without reference to issues of individualized reliance on an alleged misstatement or omission. This would ensure that the investor receives the worst of both worlds. While the investor could not bring a class action under State law, because each investor must prove his or her reliance, they nonetheless constitute a class action under the bill and their suit is preempted.

Finally, let me turn to the assertion that there is little or no opposition to this bill. In fact, the bill is opposed by State and local officials very vigorously, as a matter of fact. I note there that Orange County has just begun the first of its recoveries, in terms of being defrauded. Senior citizens groups, labor unions, consumer groups, columnists and editors, legal practitioners and academics have all weighed in on this debate. The headline of a column by Ben Stein in USA Today on April 28, summarizes this opposition: "Investors, beware: Last door to fight fraud could close." "Investors, beware: Last door to fight fraud could close." He wrote of this bill, the legislation before us:

A number of groups representing State and Government officials, including the National League of Cities, the National Association of Counties, the Government Finance Officers Association, and the U.S. Conference of Mayors, oppose this bill, as do the National League of Cities National Association of Counties, Government Finance Officers Association, and the U.S. Conference of Mayors. I ask unanimous consent that a May 11, 1998, letter from these and other groups be printed in the Record.

Why are these public officials concerned about this bill? Why are these associations that represent public officials all across our Nation concerned about this bill? Because these public officials invest taxpayers' funds and public employees' pension funds in securities. And they fear they will be left without remedies if they are defrauded.

Similarly, the New York State Bar Association opposes this bill. A report prepared by the Bar Association Section on Commercial and Federal Litigation concluded: "The existing data does not establish a need for the legislation," and, "the proposed solution far exceeds any appropriate level of remedy for the perceived problem." Let me repeat that quote from the report prepared by the New York State Bar Association Section on Commercial and Federal Litigation:

Mr. President, much will be made during the debate on this bill of the support it is asserted it enjoys from the Securities and Exchange Commission. But it seems to me that citing the support of the SEC tells only part of the story -- only part of the story.

Secondly, the SEC supports changes to the Federal antifraud standard to make it more protective of investors. In other words, if the SEC is going to be cited, as the proponents of this legislation have done, in support of their position, surely then they ought to pay attention to the SEC position which has been asserted seeking changes in the Federal antifraud standard to make it more protective. Let me give you a few examples.

The SEC supports a longer statute of limitations so that fraud artists do not escape liability by successfully concealing their frauds. The SEC supports the restoration of liability for aiders and abetters of securities fraud so that those who give substantial assistance to fraud artists do not escape liability.

The SEC supports codification of liability -- codification of liability -- for reckless conduct to ensure that professionals, such as accountants and underwriters, carry out their responsibilities under the Federal securities laws. In fact, Chairman Levitt reiterated his support for these provisions as recently as 6 weeks ago when he appeared before the Banking Committee for his renomination hearing. Nonetheless, these provisions are nowhere to be found in this bill.

The supporters of this legislation argue the desirability of a uniform antifraud standard for securities traded on national securities exchanges, but they fail to address directly the question which we need to ask, whether the current Federal antifraud standard, as reflected by the 1995 act, deserves to be the uniform standard. Is the current antifraud standard, which they are now going to use to bring cases up from the State courts and deny investors the remedies under the State systems, is that standard adequate to protect investors?

I voted against the 1995 act because I was concerned that it did not establish an appropriate standard. I was worried that it did not strike the proper balance between deterring frivolous securities suits and protecting investors who are victimized by securities fraud. None of us is in favor of frivolous securities suits, these so-called strike suits. But at the same time, I, for one, at least, do not want to go so far in trying to deal with that problem that I cease to protect investors who are victimized by securities fraud. There is a line in between, actually, I have asserted many times, I think, on which a consensus can be reached, but the legislation that keeps coming forward always overreaches -- it overreaches -- and therefore, I think, jeopardizes the protections that are available to investors who are innocent victims of securities frauds.

A number of securities law experts warn that the safe harbor for forward-looking statements enacted by that act could protect fraud. In addition, the proportionate liability provisions leave innocent victims suffering a loss while shielding those who participate in securities fraud. Of course, the 1995 act omitted the statute of limitations in aiding and abetting provisions recommended by the SEC, still recommended by the SEC, and, of course, not included in this legislation.

Since the reform act was enacted, another concern has developed. Some district courts have relied on the legislative history of that act in concluding that the act's pleading standards eliminated liability for reckless conduct. Imagine, eliminating liability for reckless conduct.

If that view prevails in the circuit courts, and if the Congress preempts, as this legislation proposes to do, causes of action under State laws, investors will be left with no remedies -- I underscore that, with no remedies -- against those whose reckless conduct makes a securities fraud possible.

It is for these reasons that the associations and various commentators I have cited are opposing this bill. They oppose this bill both because of its overly broad reach -- clearly because of its overly broad reach -- and because its sponsors fail to take this opportunity to correct the flaws of the earlier legislation. If the sponsors are going to eliminate recourse in the State courts, it becomes even more incumbent upon them to correct the Federal standard with respect to the shortcomings which have been identified in it and continue to be identified by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

As I understand, we have actual knowledge, we can have simple or ordinary negligence, we can have gross negligence, and then we can have a standard of reckless conduct which is an utter disregard of the facts. Is the Senator saying that the legislation that we are processing today does not clarify in the findings of this committee that we want to reaffirm that reckless misconduct ought to be a cause of action for those who are defrauded by investors?

I say to my colleague, as I understand it, this is what transpired. The 1995 act was being interpreted at the district court level, the Federal district court level -- the legislative history of it -- that the act's pleading standards eliminated liability for reckless conduct.

Now, there is language in the report, but we do not have a codification. So you have the problem about the legislative history for the 1998 act. And it is not quite clear to me how it will supplant the legislative history for the 1995 act. A codification would do that but that is not in this bill.

We are talking about, if I understand, conduct that is more egregious even than gross negligence. We are talking about an utter disregard of the facts and the consequences that flow from that?

That is right. If you want to talk about where you put the balance, how in the world would you drive the balance so far over that an investor who was the victim of reckless conduct would not have a remedy? It just defies any equitable striking of the balances with respect to, quote, "frivolous" lawsuits on the one hand, and investor protection on the other.

So if I understand the Senator's position, if S. 1260 is passed, we preempt State class actions so that small investors would not have the advantage of a longer statute of limitations that a number of States -- I believe 33 out of the 50 -- provide to investors suing at the State level class actions.

We would deprive the small investor of his or her opportunity to go against the accomplices, the lawyers, the accountants, and others who conspired with the primary perpetrator of fraud. That protection is taken away. And we also eliminate the ability to move and to obtain a joint and several liability judgment against those offenders. They are all things which I understand currently exist to the benefit of small investors as class actions at the State level in most States, if I am not mistaken.

The Senator is correct. Currently, what happened is we set a Federal standard in the 1995 act in the Federal courts. That still left to an investor the option of going into a State court to seek remedy.

Now the proponents of this bill said, "Well, everyone who is going into Federal court bringing the so-called frivolous suits are now going to migrate into the State courts." The numbers show that has not happened. You have a little increase in 1996. The numbers came back down in 1997. The projected numbers are down. So you do not have that flood of litigation into the State courts, and yet investors had available to them State court remedies.

Well, now what they are going to do is they are going to preempt the ability to bring the action in the State courts. Well, then, the proponents will say, "Well, we are just preempting it for these class actions. If you are an individual investor and you want to hire your lawyer, you will still be able to go into State court." But they define a class action in this bill in such a way, so broadly that it will sweep up individual investors who are really not part of a class- action suit.

Those individual investors will then discover -- I mean, what is going to happen here, my prediction on this is that what is going to come before the Congress down the road, if this legislation passes, is small investors showing up in the Congress and saying, "This happened to me. And now I discover, because of the legislation which you all enacted, I can't get any remedy. And this isn't right." And Members are going to be looking at that, and they are going to say it is not right.

That is why we are urging Members to pause and take a careful look at this before they put it into law. You can have a situation in which an individual investor goes in under State law within the statute of limitations. Often you do not discover these things. They are concealed. That is what fraud is all about. So he is within the statute of limitations. Other investors do the same thing.

So let us say it is New York or California or Illinois, and a whole wide group of people have been defrauded by some fraud artist. Well, if 50 of them come in and bring some kind of suit against this artist, they can be swept up into a class action, removed into the Federal court. They will go over to the Federal court, and then they say to them, "Well, our statute of limitations is shorter than your State statute of limitations under which you filed this action," which was timely filed in the State court.

They acted on their rights within the time limitation of the State court. They had no idea they were going to get swept up the way this bill permits. And so all of a sudden they are over in Federal court, and they say to them "It's too bad. The statute of limitations has run. And you don't have an action. You don't have a cause of action." You are shut out of the courthouse.

Is the Senator also suggesting that a remedy available at the State court level against an accomplice, whether it be a lawyer or an accountant, that would be available to the investor under State law, if removed under the process of the Federal court, which the Senator has just described, would preclude that small investor from a recovery against an accomplice who had participated in the fraud that resulted in the investor's loss?

When the 1995 bill was passed, people said, "Well, we are defining this Federal standard. People can still go into the State court, the individual investor, and get a remedy." Now they come along and they say, "Well, we're going to preempt the State courts in quote, `class actions,"' but then they define class actions so broadly that it will sweep up individual investors. It can sweep up people who are not bringing what we traditionally recognize and know as a class action.

So it is once again an example of overreaching, as this mayor indicated from Greenwood, MS, that removing these protections would have grave consequences. This thing goes beyond anything that is required to deal with -- the New York State Bar Association quote, I think, is the best on this very point when they said, "The proposed solution far exceeds any appropriate level of remedy for the perceived problem." I am saying to the opponents, look, let us examine what you assert as the problem. And we will hear examples of a problem that will be cited. Most of those examples, I am sure I would think something needs to be done about them. But the solution, the proposed solution here will far exceed the examples. What is going to happen is eventually -- and that is why I think these people are opposing this legislation I have cited.

I think Senators need to be cautious. This, in effect, is an investor's beware legislation -- investors beware. I think in the future we are going to be petitioned or importuned in the Congress to correct this overreaching because innocent people will have been denied their remedy against fraud artists who have cheated them out of their life savings.

Let me just note that we are at a time of record high in our Nation's stock market. The current bull market is the longest in history. Stocks are trading at a price-earnings ratio that exceed even those reported in the 1920s. The level of participation in the stock market by America's families is also at a record level, both directly through ownership of stocks and indirectly through pension funds and mutual funds. History suggests that at some point the bull market will end, and history also suggests that when that occurs is when securities fraud will be exposed. You don't get that much exposure in a rising market.

Should this bill be enacted, at that time many investors will find their State court remedies eliminated. In too many cases investors will be left without any effective remedies at all. Such a result can only harm innocent investors, undermine public confidence in the securities market, and ultimately raise the cost of capital for deserving American businesses.

I urge my colleagues to think long and hard about this legislation, to be very careful about it. It far exceeds what needs to be done in terms of addressing any perceived problem. I think we need to be extremely sensitive to it.

I expect a number of amendments to be offered to this bill as we proceed with its consideration. I look forward to discussing those at the appropriate time as we seek to correct what I think are some of the more obvious and egregious flaws in this legislation.

Chris Dodd
Senator Domenici has been very involved in this issue, going back a number of years when the issue first arose, trying to deal with this sinister practice going on of strike lawsuits and predator law firms. I will share briefly some news out this morning as to how the law firms that we are trying to deal with operate, where the issue of fraudulent behavior is hardly their motivation; it has to do with simple stock fluctuation. Some Internet activity today will highlight that in categorical terms, as early as about 4 or 5 hours ago. This is a pervasive problem that needs to be addressed.

We passed this bill out of our committee 14-4 on a strong bipartisan vote. The bill is endorsed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, supported by this administration, the Clinton administration. We will be happy to entertain the amendments as they are offered that come up that were raised in committee. We had hearings on this matter -- not a lengthy markup, but an extensive markup -- with an opportunity to vote a lot of the issues.

I will pick up on some of the concluding comments and remarks of my two colleagues from Maryland and Nevada with regard to the recklessness standard. We received a letter of endorsement and support from the Securities and Exchange Commission, signed by Chairman Arthur Levitt, Isaac Hunt, and Laura Unger, March 24. This letter, I believe, has been introduced in the Record by Chairman D'Amato, but I am, at this juncture, going to highlight two paragraphs of this letter because they go right to the heart of what was raised a few moments ago when it comes to the recklessness standard. I will address this more directly in my remarks. Let me quote two paragraphs in this letter.

I don't know if anything can be more clear in this letter. Certainly the intent, stated in committee, stated on the floor previously, stated in this letter, and we stated again here on the floor today as to what the intentions were of those of us who crafted this legislation when it comes to "recklessness." Now I agree. I mentioned earlier, some courts, a few district courts, have read otherwise. That happens. But we will try to make it clear that was aberrational behavior, erroneous behavior, in my view, rather than what we intended.

If the Senator will yield for a question, is it not true, if we were to set aside this legislation and not go forward, there might be a question and that, indeed, what both the White House and the SEC are saying, as a result of our coming forward, we may be eliminating that question, that ambiguity, by moving forward in the way that we proposed in this legislation?

Chris Dodd
I think the chairman of committee raises an excellent point, that in fact our legislative history included with S. 1260, the debate we have had, makes it quite clear what the intent of the committee was in 1995, what the intent of the committee in this legislation is today.

In the absence of that, I think you might have courts ruling otherwise, even though we may have not drawn that conclusion in the earlier legislation.

There is a very difficult problem codifying the standard on recklessness. Congress has wrestled with this over the years. We were not the first committee to try. We thought leaving the standard as it has been in the courts, making sure we are not trying to make any change to that standard here, any way other than what has been an accepted standard, was a better way to proceed, based on the advice we received.

We certainly did not change that standard, as has been the suggestion, either with this act or the act of 1995 despite the fact that some courts may have read it otherwise. I can't preclude a court from misinterpreting the decisions of a Congress.

If I might inquire of the Senator, the SEC, as I understand it, has sent over a definition of "reckless." If that could be included in the findings of fact as opposed to the report language, I think it would strengthen what we all seek to do, and that is to retain the reckless standard, which I know is the objective of the Senator from Connecticut.

As the Senator knows far better than I, report language is fairly thin gruel compared to the findings of fact which are included or other issues which the sponsors of the legislation -- I wonder if the Senator would consider including that definition.

The suggestion has been made -- what I was trying to respond to, prior to rising here, was that the suggestion was made that somehow this piece of legislation and '95 Act had undone the standard of recklessness that had been used.

We made it quite clear -- at least I thought we did -- in 1995 that we were not altering the standard. Certainly the SEC believes that was what we intend. This legislative history and this debate on today's bill makes it clear it was not the intent. What I objected to was the suggestion that somehow we had changed the scienter standard. We had not done that. And the letter from the three members of the Securities and Exchange Commission, I think, reinforces the point -- not whether or not you add something in the statement of facts or whether or not you have it in the legislative history where I believe it is most appropriate -- about addressing the underlying concern and issue. And that is whether or not this legislation in any way, or the 1995 Reform Act in any way, tried to fool around with the standard of recklessness. We didn't then, and we aren't now.

So what I am saying here today, what the chairman of the committee has said, and others, this is raising a red herring. It doesn't exist. It is difficult enough to debate where there is a legitimate disagreement, and there will be amendments offered where clearly there are provisions in the bill which my colleagues, including my distinguished friend from Nevada, disagree with. It is a fundamental difference here. Recklessness, as a matter of this legislation, is not a problem. It is trying to raise an issue that really does not exist. That is the reason I felt I should address that issue prior to making my general comments and statements about what I think is a valuable piece of legislation.

Now, Madam President, let me, if I may, proceed here. It has been said, in the sense that we get the pendulum swings and the proposals are offered, in a sense, this is a very narrow bill. It is not designed to be all-encompassing and all-sweeping, yet it is being received by certain quarters as if it were a wide, sweeping piece of legislation. It is dealing with an underlying problem that still exists. The facts bear out the necessity of us trying to move with nationally traded securities on the national exchanges to see to it that we can set some standards here so we don't continue to end up with a proliferation of lawsuits chasing forums all over this country to satisfy a trial bar at the expense of jobs, investors in these companies out there. That is what has been happening. That is what we try to address with this bill.

At the beginning of the debate today on S. 1260, the securities litigation reform standards, marks, in a sense, an anniversary, Madam President. It was almost 3 years ago that we took the floor of this body, many of my colleagues, in support of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. That bill, overwhelmingly enacted into law by Congress, was designed to curb abuses in the field of private securities class action lawsuits.

Let me pause, if I can, to note just how important the private litigation system has been in maintaining integrity of our capital markets. It is highly questionable whether our markets would be as deep, as liquid, as strong, or as transparent were it not for our system of maintaining private rights of action against those who commit fraud. America's markets are the envy of the world because of the tremendous confidence that American and foreign investors have in the regulatory system that supports those markets.

But it is precisely because of the vital importance of the private litigation system that the depths to which it had sunk by 1995 had become so damaging. The system was no longer an avenue for aggrieved investors to seek justice and restitution, but it had become, instead, a pathway for a few enterprising attorneys to manipulate its procedures for their own considerable profit, to the detriment of legitimate companies and investors all across our Nation.

If we needed a reminder about how abusive that system had become, we received yet another example of it last week, with the conclusion of one of the last lawsuits filed under that old system. This litigation against a Massachusetts biotech company called Biogen, lasted more than 3 years, cost that company, in direct litigation expenses alone, more than $3 million.

But even more than the direct costs, the lawsuit enacted an untold loss on the company because of the time and resources devoted by its top management and their scientists to defending themselves.

So this week's debate marks not only the opening of Congress' effort to establish strong national standards of liability for nationally- traded securities, but also allows us to mark the close of an era in securities litigation that perversely offered more comfort to those filing abusive and frivolous lawsuits than it offered to redress to those who had been legitimately defrauded.

But the very success of the 1995 reform act in shutting down avenues of abuse on the Federal level has created a new home for such kinds of litigation in State courts.

Throughout 1996, the first year of the reform act, reports were coming to Congress that there was a dramatic increase in the number of cases filed in State courts. Prior to enactment of the '95 reform act, it was extremely unusual, extremely unusual, for a securities fraud class action case to be brought in a State court anywhere in this country.

But by the end of 1996, it had become clear from both the number of cases filed in State court, and the nature of those claims, that a significant shift was underfoot, as some attorneys sought to evade the provisions of the reform act that made it more difficult to coerce a settlement, which was what was going on.

Even though the number of State class actions filed in 1997 was down from the high of 1996, it was still 50 percent higher than the average number filed in the 5 years prior to the reform act, and it represented a significant jump in the number of parallel cases filed.

So there was a significant increase. It did drop in 1997. But if you are going to use the bar of when the reform act was passed, it was still substantially higher. It was a rare occasion indeed when people ran to State courts. We didn't think we would need this bill. We honestly thought that dealing with this problem at the Federal level would work. That is where the cases were brought. Why are we here today? We are here because these enterprising attorneys, as the chairman of the committee pointed out -- many without clients, by the way -- discovered that if they ran into a State court here, they could avoid the legislation that we adopted and passed so overwhelmingly here in 1995. But there are other reasons as well. It isn't just an increase in the caseload. That would not, in my view, necessarily warrant moving today. There are other issues.

First, for those companies hit with potentially frivolous or abusive State court class actions, all of the cost and expense that the '95 reform act sought to prevent are once again incurred. So, in effect, we did nothing. Today, all of that cost and discovery, and so forth, before a motion to dismiss could be filed -- today you have to go do it all over again. It is as if the `95 act were never passed. That is what happened here.

Some might question whether a State class action can carry with it the same type of incentives to settle even frivolous lawsuits that existed on the Federal level prior to 1995.

One of the key components of the 1995 reform act was to allow judges to rule on a motion to dismiss prior to the commencement of the discovery process. This is not precedent-setting procedure. That is normally, in many cases, how you deal with it, a motion to dismiss coming up early. Under the old system, Adobe had won a motion for summary dismissal, but only after months of discovery by the plaintiffs that cost the company more than $2 million in legal expenses and untold time and energy by officials to produce the tens of thousands of documents and numerous depositions.

But in an ongoing securities class action suit filed in California state court since 1995, Adobe has had to spend more than $1 million in legal expenses and has had to produce more than 44,000 pages of documents, all before the state judge is even able to entertain a motion for summary dismissal.

This one example makes clear that while Adobe, which has the resources for a costly and lengthy legal battle, might fight a meritless suit, these costs provide a powerful incentive for most companies without that kind of wherewithal to settle these suits rather than incur such expenses.

The second clear impact of the migration of class action suits to state court is that it has caused companies to continue to avoid using the safe harbor for forward looking statements that was a critical component of the `95 reform act.

In fact, today we have more investors in our markets than ever before. People want more information. The safe harbor provisions which we crafted were designed to encourage companies to step forward and to tell us where they were going. Clearly, there can be some who decide it would be deceitful. In no way do we try to protect anybody who is lying or cheating in the process. We are trying to encourage companies to tell us more about where they are going so those investors can make good decisions. But what has happened as a result of this rush to State courts is that the very companies that said they need the safe harbor provisions are not writing the safe harbor provisions because they know they don't have the same protection in State court, which is where these cases are running.

So after all the encouragement of the 1995 act to have the safe harbor, companies haven't been putting it in. So investors out there trying to make decisions of where to put their hard-earned dollars don't have the benefit of that safe harbor language, which may give them a better idea in which companies to make those investments.

The California Public Employees Pension System, one of the biggest institutional investors in the Nation stated that "forward-looking statements provide extremely valuable and relevant information to investors." SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt also noted the importance of such information in the marketplace in 1995:

In recent years, the Securities and Exchange Commission, in recognition of this fact, sought to find ways to encourage companies to put such forward-looking statements into the marketplace. Congress too sought to encourage this and this effort ultimately culminated in the creation of a statutory safe harbor, so that companies need not fear a lawsuit if they did not meet their good-faith projections about future performance.

Unfortunately, the simple fact is that the fear of State court litigation is preventing companies from effectively using the safe harbor.

Again, the SEC's April 1997 study found that "companies have been reluctant to provide significantly more forward looking disclosure than they had prior to enactment of the safe harbor." (p. 24); the report went on to cite the fear of State court litigation as one of the principal reasons for this failure.

If the migration of cases to state court were just a temporary phenomenon, then perhaps it would be appropriate for Congress to tell these companies and their millions of investors to simply grin and bear it, that it will all be over soon.

But the SEC report contains the warning that this is no temporary trend: "If state law provides advantages to plaintiffs in a particular case, it is reasonable to expect that plaintiffs' counsel will file suit in state court." The plain English translation of that is that any plaintiffs' lawyer worth his salt is going to file in state court if he feels it advantageous for his case; since most state courts do not provide the stay of discovery or a safe harbor, we're confronted with a likelihood of continued state court class actions.

While the frustration of the objectives of the 1995 Reform Act provide compelling reasons for congressional action, it is equally important to consider whether the proposition of creating a national standard of liability for nationally-traded securities makes sense in it's own right.

which is all we are trying to do here with this bill, to set one speed limit, if you will, on a national debate on trading securities and on markets. That is all, one speed limit, not two, to live up to the fact of what we tried to do with the 1995 bill.

It is true that in 1995, Congress wrestled with the idea of trying to establish a uniform definition of recklessness; but ultimately, the 1995 Private Securities Litigation Reform Act was silent on the question of recklessness. While the act requires that plaintiffs plead "Facts giving rise to a strong inference that the defendant acted with the requisite state of mind . . ." The act at no point attempts to define that state of mind. Congress left that to courts to apply, just as they had been applying their definition of state of mind prior to 1995.

Unfortunately, a minority of district courts have tried to read into some of the legislative history of the reform act an intent to do away with recklessness as an actionable standard.

There are several definitions of recklessness that operate in our courts today, and some of them are looser than others. But I agree with those who believe that reckless behavior is an extreme departure from the standards of ordinary care; a departure that is so blatant that the danger it presents to investors is either known to the defendant or is so obvious that he or she must have been aware of it.

The notion that Congress would condone such behavior by closing off private lawsuits against those who fall within that definition is just ludicrous.

And if, by some process of mischance and misunderstanding, investors lost their ability to bring suits based on that kind of scienter standard, I would be the first, though certainly not the last, Senator to introduce legislation to restore that standard.

As I mentioned a moment ago, Mr. President, S.1260 is a moderate, balanced and common sense approach to establishing a uniform national standard of litigation that will end the practice of meritless class action suits being brought in state court.

In the final analysis, it is both the millions of Americans who have invested their hard-earned dollars in these nationally-traded companies and the men and women who will hold the new jobs that will be created as a result of newly available resources, whom we hope will be the real beneficiaries of the action that we take here today.

I strongly urge my colleagues to join the Securities and Exchange Commission, dozens of our colleagues, the Clinton administration, dozens of governors, state legislators and state securities regulators in supporting passage of the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act of 1998.

I wonder if I might ask my friend and colleague. I know we are going to have some extended debate with some of the amendments. Senator Gramm, who has worked with the Senator from Connecticut, would like to be heard, and Senator Feingold has been waiting. He has an amendment that I believe is a very substantive amendment, and is one that might take hours to debate. But I believe we can dispose of it in a relatively short period of time if we were to permit the Senator to proceed.

While he is in the Chamber, let me commend and congratulate my colleague from Texas on this issue. This is a strong bipartisan bill, 14 to 4, coming out of this committee. It took a long time to go through all of this. We have had extensive hearings on it. We have listened to an awful lot of people. This is a good piece of legislation. It is needed out there, if we are going to in this day and age, with so many people wanting to get into this market, get more information to them, having a single standard here. Jobs and investors are affected when you have a handful of attorneys out there deciding they are going to act in a way that really brings great danger to our markets. And so I urge adoption of the legislation.

It was never the Senator's intent nor would this impinge on the Senator's time. It was an effort to accommodate one of our colleagues.

I am happy to do that. Can we include one proviso in the proposed unanimous consent that after the Senator from Texas is allowed the time as requested by my friend, the distinguished chairman, and after the Senator from Wisconsin is recognized for purposes of an amendment, will the Senator from Nevada then be next recognized, if that would be agreeable?

Madam President, I often find myself having to speak at length in the Chamber when I do not have the votes. On this bill, I am in the happy position that we have the votes. We are going to win. We are going to defeat all of the amendments, because we have a good bill, and we have a very broad base of support. So I have often found that when you have the votes, it is best not to speak at length.

However, as the author of the legislation, I wanted to say just a couple of things. First, I thank Chairman D'Amato for his leadership. I want people to know that without his principal leadership on this bill, we would not be here. He was instrumental in helping us pull the coalition together. He set a time schedule on bringing the bill before the full committee, and I thank him for his leadership.

I believe this legislation will benefit the country. I think we will create jobs, growth, and opportunity from enactment of the bill, and I think that Chairman D'Amato is due a lion's share of the credit.

The bottom line on this bill is that in 1995 we sought to act to deal with the problem of economic piracy through the courts. We had found ourselves in a position where lawsuits were being filed against companies if their stock price went up, if their stock price went down, if their stock price did not change. New, emerging companies were the special targets of these lawsuits. These are the companies that had great technical ideas but did not have a whole bevy of lawyers on their payroll, and they were finding themselves basically being extorted, as people filed lawsuits that often were just boilerplate documents. These suits were so boilerplate that at times the name of the company being sued was confused in the documents filed in the court.

And so we stepped in to try to do something about it, and we passed a bill called the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, Public Law 104-67. That legislation basically did five things. No. 1, it said that you had to have a client; that you could not have a lawyer who filed a bunch of motions representing nobody in reality and just collecting a whole bunch of money. The legislation said that there had to be genuine clients, and the client that stood the most to gain could be the lead client and had the privilege to choose the lawyer, and the lawyer had to be accountable to the people who were filing the lawsuit.

So we required that you have real people filing a real lawsuit. We also required that if you are going to file a lawsuit, you have to say specifically what the company did wrong. We further established a procedure whereby you did not have to go through this lengthy and expensive discovery process while the court was considering whether there was even enough merit in the case to proceed further with it. We also eliminated the ability to go after the people that had deep pockets, even though they had no real, substantive liability. Finally, where it was clear that the lawsuit was frivolous, we gave the judge the responsibility to require that the people who filed the lawsuit paid the legal expenses of those who found themselves pulled into court.

It was a good bill, and it is beginning to have an impact. Our problem is that in trying to circumvent it, the same people filing the same lawsuits started to move into State court. So we have written a bill that tries to set uniform national standards. It applies only to class-action suits. It applies only to stocks that are traded nationally.

We will have a series of amendments. We voted on every one of them in committee. Every one of these amendments is aimed at killing the bill by undercutting the basic premise of the bill, which is when you are dealing with nationally traded securities, you need national standards. So I hope our colleagues will join us in the process of defeating these amendments and approving the bill.

What this legislation does is address the rapidly growing and troubling practice of employers conditioning employment or professional advancement upon their employees' willingness to submit claims of discrimination or harassment to arbitration, mandatory arbitration, rather than still having the right to pursue their claims in the courts. In other words, in too many cases employers are forcing their employees to ex ante agree to submit their civil rights claims to mandatory binding arbitration irrespective of what other remedies may exist under the laws of this Nation.

So to address this growing trend of mandatory binding arbitration, this measure, the Civil Rights Procedures Protection Act, amends seven civil rights statutes to guarantee that a civil rights plaintiff can still seek the protection of the U.S. courts. The measure ensures that an employer cannot use his or her superior bargaining power to coerce her or his employees to, in effect, capitulate to an agreement which diminishes their civil rights protection.

Madam President, I want to be clear, because it is important that we promote voluntary arbitration in this country, that this is in no way intended to hinder or discourage or bar the use of arbitration on conciliation or mediation or any other form of alternative dispute resolution short of litigation resolving those claims. I think it is tremendous that we try to encourage people to voluntarily avoid litigation.

I have long been a strong proponent of voluntary forms of alternative dispute resolution. The key, however, is that, in those cases that I can support alternative dispute resolution, it is truly voluntary. That is not what we are talking about here. What is happening here is that these agreements to go to arbitration are mandatory, they are imposed upon working men and women, and they are required prior to employment or prior to a promotion.

Mandatory binding arbitration allows employers to tell all current and prospective employees, in effect, if you want to work for us, you will have to check your rights as a working American citizen at the door. Indeed, these requirements have been referred to recently as front-door contracts; that is, employers require that employees surrender certain rights right up front in order to get in the front door. Working men and women all across the country are faced with a very dubious choice, then, of either accepting these mandatory limitations of their right to redress in the face of discrimination or harassment, or being placed at risk of losing an employment opportunity or professional advancement.

As a nation that values work and deplores discrimination, I don't think we can allow this situation to continue. The way I like to describe it is, what this expects a person to do is to sign an agreement that they will not go to court even before they feel the sting of discrimination. They have to sign this deal before they even sit down to their desk and do their first work for an employer.

So, in conclusion, allow me to stress that this practice of mandatory binding arbitration should be stopped now. If people believe they are being discriminated against or sexually harassed, they should continue to retain all avenues of redress provided for by the laws of this Nation. This amendment will help restore integrity and balance in relations between hard-working employees and their employers. But I think more important, this amendment will ensure that the civil rights laws this Congress passes will continue to protect all Americans.

Madam President, I commend the Senator from Wisconsin for coming forth with this proposal. It is an amendment that he has been working on, for quite a period of time. As a matter of fact, it has been referred to the Judiciary Committee.

Having said that, I think at the very least it should have, and requires, a thorough hearing. It is important, and it is important we understand the nuances. It is important that we get the case-by-case documentation as relates to those people who have suffered as a result of this area of the law. It is an area of great concern in terms of whether or not a person has to sign an agreement -- and they do now -- prior to employment, that they give away or they agree that all matters will be settled by way of arbitration.

Maybe it should not be "all matters." Maybe there are certain matters that no one should ever be required to forfeit. I think we should look at that, because I think there are some very real questions. If there is a question of sexual harassment, do you mean to tell me that a person in that case should have to give up his or her right to bring a claim and that it will be settled in camera, behind the scenes, by way of arbitration? And there may be other areas where, indeed, the arbitration procedure should be the methodology of resolving a dispute.

But I believe the Senator is correct, that there are some areas that really call into question whether or not a person must sign this agreement, otherwise he or she doesn't get the job. They just never get the job. They never get the promotion. So what do you think they are going to do? Of course they are going to sign. So this is serious.

I believe we have an obligation to have a thorough, thoughtful analysis, and, indeed, the Judiciary Committee may want to look at certain aspects. But I believe since, indeed, the financial services community, the banking community, the securities community has to deal with this day in and day out, the proper jurisdiction does lie before the Banking Committee.

With that in mind, I have indicated to the Senator that, before we leave, during the month of July or prior, it will be my intent to hold at least a full hearing, where witnesses to both sides, including the Securities and Exchange Commission -- which I understand is studying this matter very carefully -- will appear so we could have the benefit of their review, of their testimony, of people who have written and people who have been involved in this, those who have been aggrieved as well as those who can testify to the merits of certain aspects of having arbitration in some limited cases.

But I must say for the record, I believe the Senator has touched on something that is very important and I would not like to move to table at this time. I think it would be unfair to the importance of this legislation.

With that in view, I have indicated to the Senator that I will call these hearings, so we can fully explore this and then bring it to this floor as legislation that has had the benefit of the totality of the input from the SEC, from our staffs, after listening and hearing and getting the kind of in-depth review that I know that not only I feel should take place, but that most of the members of my committee would support.

Madam President, I thank the Senator from New York who, I think, has given a very sympathetic listen to what we are trying to accomplish here. This issue, in fact, emanates in large part originally from his State and from some of the practices in his State that are now becoming nationwide.

I think he has shown here, in his comments, already a keen understanding of what is involved here. Even though this issue has not been presented formally to his committee, he clearly understands that what is being requested of some of these individuals is simply unreasonable in light of American traditions of protection from discrimination and sexual harassment.

So, even though I think this bill is a very appropriate vehicle to offer this amendment, I am grateful the chairman of the Banking Committee has agreed to hold a hearing in which he will be personally involved, in which I will have the opportunity to testify, prior to the end of July, on this bill.

I look forward to being able to participate in helping to select some of the witnesses. I agree with the Senator very strongly that there are people on both sides, as well as those in the middle such as the SEC, who are seriously looking at this. This would be a useful hearing to move this issue along. I happen to be a member of the Judiciary Committee as well, so I certainly regard this as an appropriate forum as well. But I think this committee, in light of the fact these agreements started in securities firms, is a place where a hearing would be appropriate.

But, in light of all that and his assurances -- which have always been extremely secure whenever I have dealt with him in the past, for the last 5\1/2\ years -- in light of all that, I look forward to the hearing, I look forward to working with him. I hope that he can support this legislation after he has had a chance to review it.

I thank my colleague and tell him that we look forward to working together in a cooperative way in helping to craft a package that will address the true abuses yet maintain the importance of arbitration where it is deemed appropriate, because I think in certain cases it is absolutely appropriate and I think in others it is absolutely indefensible.

Just to be clear, in terms of the status, the 22 minutes that are reserved to the Senators in opposition is not affected by the colloquy between my two friends from New York and Wisconsin?

Madam President, this legislation that we are debating today, as I have said on previous occasions, is somewhat arcane and esoteric. It is not the sort of thing where, for people who are at home watching this debate, it causes them to move to the edge of their chairs and to hang on every word.

It is, however, terribly important for the tens of millions of small investors who, in recent years, have invested in the future of America, and for their confidence in the market system that we have created, because they are the small investors, they are the ones who will be impacted by this legislation. The large investors, the large institutions, will still have options that heretofore the small investors have had but the small investors will be deprived of as a result of this legislation. So it is the view of the Senator from Nevada that this legislation plunges a dagger into the heart of every small investor in America.

What we are talking about is not whether a case can be brought in State court or Federal court. We are talking about a system, which currently exists, that allows a private small investor to be part of a class action, and other small investors who have been defrauded as a result of the misconduct of others, to come together and file an action in State court and to avail themselves of statutes of limitations that are longer than are available to those of us who file in Federal court to provide, for joint and several liability, the ability to recover from accomplices -- particularly important if the primary offender has bankrupted himself or herself or itself or has taken leave -- and to avail himself or herself of triple damages under RICO.

So this has a very practical impact. Actions that would be available to small investors at the State court level will no longer -- no longer -- be available to those small investors, as a practical matter. So we continue a process which alarmed my good friend, the distinguished ranking member of this committee, the distinguished Senator from Maryland, that began with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, in our view, simply goes too far.

Those of us who express strong reservations about this bill find no comfort with those who are filing strike suits, those who are involved in litigiousness for the sake of litigiousness. I believe it would be possible to craft a narrow provision that addresses the ostensible concerns that have been raised and yet not deprive small investors in this country of their rights under the law.

The system for private enforcement of remedies has existed now for more than six decades. It is a dual system involving the State courts and the Federal courts. It has worked exceptionally well. The SEC has repeatedly testified as to the importance of private rights of actions as being absolutely essential to augment their own enforcement efforts. Indeed, they have said they have not the ability nor the resources to deal with the vast panoply of investor fraud, and they view the private cause of action as essential.

Indeed, States were the first to enact these protections against fraud in the early 1900s, and when, in the mid-1930s, the statutes that essentially provided the framework for Federal securities regulation were put in place, it was expressly intended to supplement, not to supersede, to complement, not to wipe out, and the language of this legislation today specifically preempts the State cause of action for class actions. These State remedies are vitally important, and States have responded in a number of different ways by providing protections. I am going to talk about three primarily.

The statute of limitations. Why is that important? Those who perpetrate fraud on small investors don't do so openly and nakedly; they try to conceal it to protect that activity. So the unfortunate decision of the court in the Lampf decision, which limits at the Federal level the right of an investor who has been defrauded 1 year from the point of discovery of the fraud, 3 years even though the investor never becomes aware of that fraud, is viewed by the Securities Commission as unreasonable because it takes them, with all of their resources, a minimum of 3\1/2\ years.

The statute of limitation is not just an arcane debate about how long one should have, it is the ability of a small investor who has been defrauded without his knowledge and, never having learned of it within the 3-year period of time, is now precluded. Thirty-three States in this country, including my own in Nevada, provide for a longer statute of limitation. Some provide 2 years from the time of discovery of fraud, or 5 or 6 or even 10 years, and some provide no bar at all.

In the vast majority of States in America, small investors filing class actions who do not discover the fraud until after 3 years are currently, under existing law, protected in at least 33 States. This legislation cuts off that right, and even though we all agree or, as the lawyers say, stipulate to the merit of the claim, it is barred -- barred -- by the 3 years even though the small investor never became aware of the fraud. That is what we are talking about.

Forty-nine of the 50 States provide liability for the accomplices -- those who conspired with the primary perpetrator of the fraud, whether they be lawyers, whether they be accountants, whether they be other investment advisers -- to provide a cause of action -- 49 out of 50. Unfortunately, at the Federal level, there is no remedy for plaintiffs against aiders and abetters. So that means that if the primary offender, the perpetrator, becomes bankrupt, leaves the country, or is otherwise unable to respond in damages, historically at the State court level, the class-action plaintiffs could recover against those who conspired and aided in that fraud.

The action that we take with S. 1260 deprives small investors filing class actions from this recovery. So now, if we pass this legislation, they are precluded from moving against those who conspired and actively participated in the fraud.

Moreover, States, as a matter of providing protection to their own citizens, have provided in a number of jurisdictions for joint and several liability. That means if five or six are guilty of the fraud and only one has the ability to respond in damages, States have made the determination that as between the innocent investor, utterly blameless, that the innocent investor ought to be satisfied against the perpetrator of that fraud, even though there may have been several involved. That is wiped out.

We have, in effect, a piece of legislation before us that dramatically limits the right of a small investor to pursue a class action in State court and to avail himself or herself of a whole host of remedies which States have provided on their own.

Why are class actions important? Again, it is pretty esoteric. Think for a moment. Tens of millions of small investors who may have been victimized by a fraud don't have the ability to hire a lawyer on their own to fight against entrenched special interests who have the ability to provide legal defenses and delays and delays. That is practically no remedy at all. It is only by binding together with other investors, small investors who are similarly situated, as the law says, that those costs can be spread and a recovery can be possible.

When we say, as proponents of this legislation, "Well, the small investor can still file in State court," that is true, but it is a hollow and transparent remedy because, as a practical matter, small investors simply do not have the ability to pay for the lawyer's fees and the costs that are involved in processing these kind of cases.

That was the situation that 23,000 senior citizens who joined in a class action against Charlie Keating and Lincoln Savings and Loan found themselves in a few years ago. It was a class action, and they were ultimately able to recover 65 cents on the dollar of their losses.

Had those plaintiffs been involved today with a shorter cause of action at the Federal level, with the cause of action unavailable at the State level for class actions, those plaintiffs would have not been able to recover that kind of money. The examples of these kinds of groups are not just small individuals, but they include school districts, municipalities, special improvement districts, pension funds at the State and municipal level. All of these are going to be affected by this legislation. As a practical matter, a class action provides the only realistic hope of recovery.

As I pointed out, the SEC, with all its resources, says it takes them up to 3 years to compile the data to bring these securities fraud suits. So in effect, what we are doing now is we are providing for two classes of investors: Those who have been defrauded who are people of means, of wealth, so they can hire their own lawyers, they can still file at the State court level and take advantage of the longer statute of limitations, can take advantage of the provisions that provide liability against accomplices, can take advantage against the joint and several liability protections available at the State level. But if you are a small investor -- and that is what most of those who are defrauded are, small investors -- that remedy is no longer available to you.

In 1990, there were 158 IPOs, totaling $4.6 billion. In 1997, 7 years later, there were 619 IPOs, totaling $39 billion. The stock market has recently set record highs. The Dow is over 9,000. And individuals confident in these markets are pouring in $40 billion a month in mutual funds. In 1980, 1 in every 18 households in America invested in the stock market. Less than 20 years later, it is more than one in three. That is a great tribute to the security and safety of this market.

Investor confidence is crucial, and it is threatened by increasing fraud. I believe it was President Kennedy who made the observation, that, "A rising tide" -- referring to the economy -- "raises all boats." And I think that is true. But it is equally true it also hides the shoals.

Newsweek, in its October 6, 1997, edition: "Scam Scuttling: The Bull Market is Drawing Con Artists. SEC Chairman Levitt summarized, "In a market like this, parasites crowd in to feast on the bull's success." Business Week, December 15: "Ripoff! Secret World of Chop Stocks -- And How Small Investors -- [and that is what we are talking about] Are Getting Fleeced." The article focuses on small-cap equities manipulated to enrich promotors and defraud thousands of small investors -- a $10 billion-a-year business that regulators and law enforcement have barely dented.

Now is not the time, I would respectfully argue, to in effect rip from the investor his or her opportunity to recover that which has been lost as a result of being victimized by fraud. Our securities markets run on trust, Madam President -- on trust -- not money. There will be much less trust, I fear, if this legislation occurs.

Look what has happened in countries around the world: "Albania tries to regain control [of the Ponzi scheme]." That can't happen in America with the system that we have created. "Shanghai Stock Market Cited for Scandal." "10,000 Stampede as Russian Stock [Market] Collapses." "Scandal Besets Chinese Markets." My point being that we have devised a system to protect investors. And I fear, by reason of overly broad legislation, we are depriving small investors of the very opportunity to recover that which has provided the confidence in the market that has encouraged such a massive investment by small investors.

Why? We are led to believe there is a massive influx of cases that must be preempted because everybody is going to the State court to bypass the provisions of the 1995 law.

Price Waterhouse, in January of 1998, made a report, an evaluation. Forty-four State cases -- 44 -- were filed in all of 1997, a one-third decrease since 1996 -- I want to emphasize that, a decrease -- when 66 were filed, and less than in the 3 years before the 1995 legislation. A followup Price Waterhouse study, in February, tells us 39 cases were filed.

My point being, whether it is 39 or 44, I would not argue that with my colleagues, but that is, out of 15 million cases, civil cases -- not criminal, not traffic, not domestic relations -- we are talking about 44 cases or 39 cases out of 15 million filed. That is a very, very small number. And although there are some problems, as has been pointed out by the proponents, none of the problems justifies the sweeping emasculation of investor protections that this legislation provides for.

If one believes that uniform standards are an essential public policy in the country -- and, I must say, I have not been persuaded -- then I think we would agree that a uniform standard that provides strong investor protections ought to be a part of that uniform standard.

Unfortunately, what we have done, in each and every case, is opted for the lowest common denominator of protection. If the statute of limitations is longer at the State level, we have preempted it and limited the statute of limitations. If the State provides for liability against those who are accomplices, we take that cause of action away from the small investor. If the State allows for joint and several recovery against each and every one of those involved in the fraud, we take that away from the small investor.

So it is my view that this is part of an ongoing process in which we have, in my judgment, left the small investor high and dry in many cases if this legislation passes.

I must say that when you look at the trend line following the 1995 legislative enactments, you can see that pattern unfold. The Lampf decision, which shocked the SEC and others, limited the statute of limitations to 1 year from the time of discovery of the fraud to 3 years. The SEC recognized that that is an unreasonable period of time. And those who argued several years ago for comprehensive reforms said, "Look, we'll address the statute of limitations at that point." We tried, Madam President, in 1995 to address the statute of limitations, but we were rebuffed. Now this legislation takes the longer statute of limitations, available in 33 out of 50 States, away from those small investors.

The Supreme Court, in the Central Bank case, held that there is no ability to hold accomplices liable. We tried to provide for aider and abetter coverage. The SEC strongly supports that. We were told that when we redid the Federal securities laws that that would be included. My colleague from Maryland and I tried, and we were rebuffed in that effort.

Joint and several liability, eliminated in the 1995 act. Civil RICO, eliminated. Discovery provisions, limited. In 1996, we made a determination to divide some of the regulatory responsibility between State and Federal authorities.

In 1998, we are here with S. 1260, which I think is the coup de grace in terms of small investor protection. So I must say that I am greatly disturbed by this threat. I believe that small investors ultimately will pay the price.

It is often said that those of us who oppose this legislation must be working for those nefarious trial lawyers. Let's take a look at the groups who support the position that the senior Senator from Maryland and I take. The American Association of Retired Persons. When I attend one of their meetings, I haven't seen a single retired lawyer in attendance. The AFL-CIO, the American Federation of State County and Municipal Workers, Consumer Federation of America, Consumers Union, and many, many others, as you can see, particularly those involved with the State retirement associations, including the Public Employees Retirement System, the League of Cities, the National Association of Counties and Municipal Treasuries.

Let me read a paragraph from a letter that the able Senator from Maryland introduced, coming from the Government Finance Officers Association, the Municipal Treasurers'Association, National Association of Counties, National Association of County Treasurers, National Association of State Retirement Administrators, National Conference on Public Employee Retirement System, National League of Cities, U.S. Conference of Mayors. They raise many of the same objections that I have outlined today, as has my colleague from Maryland.

We are talking about taxpayer dollars. We are not talking about litigious plaintiffs. We are talking about pension funds, municipal State funds in which those entities have been defrauded and now will be provided much less protection to recover tax dollars -- dollars belonging to each and every citizen who is a part of that group.

Let me address one final point here as we conclude this discussion. One of the concerns that has been expressed is that there is no adequate assurance that liability will continue to exist against those who are reckless in their conduct. Now, that is a standard more egregious than simple negligence, more egregious than gross negligence. We are talking about conduct that is reckless in nature.

Prior to 1995, when the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act was enacted, 11 of 13 circuits in this country had addressed the issue and had concluded that there was a cause of action for those who are guilty of reckless misconduct. The 1995 legislation, because it talked about a specific pleading standard, has created some confusion. Following the 1995 enactment, several district courts have concluded that no longer is there liability for reckless misconduct.

Now, the proponents of this legislation say that they do not intend that as a consequence. And I accept their representation. However, we have tried to get into this bill a provision crafted by the SEC defining "reckless" to make it absolutely sure that "reckless" is protected. Their response? If the courts strike down "reckless" we will remedy it.

I never impugn anyone's good faith, but I am a product of the experience that I have had in this legislation. We were told back in the 1990s that we would address the statute of limitation problem when we looked at comprehensive legislation to correct that. It did not occur. We were told after the Central Bank case that we will address the problem in which aiders and accomplices are no longer liable under the law. We were rejected in that effort. So I must say I find my comfort level not very high if the courts intend that. It seems to me if we are in earnest in wanting to protect that "reckless" standard, it is terribly important we use a definition which the SEC has provided. Let's make it part of this legislation.

I am not unmindful of the fact that this bill is a train that is leaving the station. It will pass and it will be signed into law. But it would be a tragic mistake not to make absolutely sure that "reckless" is included. I believe a fair reading of the 1995 legislation should not give rise to an inference that "reckless" has somehow been changed. I don't believe that was the intent. The authors of this legislation say it is not true, but even when we try to get it moved into the findings of the legislation, we get resistance, so I have concern.

Dianne Feinstein
Mr. President, I rise today to lend my support to S. 1260, the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act. This legislation, introduced by Senator Gramm and Senator Dodd, is essential to my state of California, providing needed uniform national standards in securities fraud class actions.
