Dodd to Abandon Latest Derivatives Proposal, Aide Says
By DAMIAN PALETTA And VICTORIA MCGRANE
WASHINGTON—Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd is expected to drop a controversial derivatives proposal he offered Tuesday after it met stiff resistance from an unusual coalition of Wall Street bankers and liberal Democrats, a Senate aide said.
The backlash came after Mr. Dodd (D., Conn.) tried to craft a provision to strip out another controversial part of the financial overhaul bill, which would have forced big banks to spin off their derivatives operations into affiliates. The Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp,. and Treasury Department had criticized this provision, which was originally offered by Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Blanche Lincoln (D., Ark.), and Mr. Dodd thought he found a way to fix it.
His amendment would have delayed for two years any ban on derivatives trading and given the Treasury Secretary the ability to quash the proposal outright. Liberal Democrats loudly voiced their opposition, claiming Mr. Dodd was trying to gut a central part of their effort to crack down on Wall Street banks. Wall Street banks complained almost as loudly, saying the two-year window would create uncertainty and make it nearly impossible for them to offer derivatives contracts.
Mr. Dodd conceded in a brief interview that it was unlikely any other changes would be offered to the derivatives piece of the broader bill now, with debate expected to end later this week. He would have had a hard time finding support for his change, after many Democrats and Republicans slammed it immediately.
Sen. Judd Gregg (R., N.H.) on the Senate floor Wednesday blasted Mr. Dodd's proposal as a "convoluted exercise in chaos" and a "Byzantine exercise in regulatory absurdity."
