Have you read the bill? A quick search didn't lead me to any obvious results. What else was in it?
It should be a requirement that each bill deal strictly with one issues. The bill in questions was named Making Appropriations for Labor, Health and Human Services for Fiscal Year 2001 - how does that have ANYTHING to do with CDO's in particular or the regulation of banks in the broader sense?
With every bill so laden with crap, I think it's impossible to vote on one thing without also voting for a few things you don't really like.
