As a follow-up to our conversation a couple of weeks ago, you invited our thoughts on the "loan exception" portion of the rule-making. Attached is the comment letter that is on the way to you via hard copy, but I wanted to make sure and provide you with a soft copy as well. Please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions.
We appreciated the forum to discuss our concerns. As we continue to follow-up with the Federal Reserve and the OCC, it appears there is a real need to ensure tight coordination by the CFTC with the banking regulators to prevent unintended consequences. It seems all parties have somewhat differing views on key points. In our discussion with Mr. Hoenig last week, I encouraged the same from his side. It just seems that if we could get everyone in the same room at the same time, we could get appropriate resolution.
Thanks again for your consideration,
Stacy
