President Pleased with Senate Retirement Security Bill
Statement by the President
I applaud Senators Tim Hutchinson, Trent Lott, and Judd Gregg for
introducing legislation today to strengthen the retirement security of
American workers. This legislation would protect workers by
giving them freedom to manage their own retirement savings, fair notice
of any blackout period, better access to sound investment advice, and
is consistent with the retirement security principles I previously
outlined. This bill also assures that corporate officers
would be held to the same restrictions as those imposed on workers.
I look forward to working with the Congress in a bipartisan fashion
to enact these important protections into law.
