Senators clash over securities act impact on markets
A lengthy critique argues the national securities act has crushed new capital issues and harmed the bond market. It cites October 1993 bond totals, notes a sharp 1932–1933 financing decline, and calls for moderation in regulation while urging renewed investment to revive wage and buying power. It also blasts federal policy and mentions Bullitt, the Soviet mission, Oklahoma politics, and a westward squirrel migration.
