Roundtable of SEC Chairs Past and Present Today

Present Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox has invited five previous SEC chairs to a roundtable discussion on the future of the SEC this afternoon. The other participants are William Donaldson, Harvey Pitt (both from President Bush's [43] first term), Arthur Levitt (from President Clinton), David Ruder (finishing years of President Reagan) and Roderick Hills (from President Ford). The webcast is available through http://www.sec.gov/news/otherwebcasts.shtml and is likely to cover proposals to modify internal control requirements for smaller publicly-traded businesses among other topics.
