You’re going to see vigorous oversight in this area to begin with. We’re going to want the leaders of this industry to come in and talk about all of the times that their own agents have gotten away from them, how it happened, what’s been done about it, and what they’re doing about it. We’re going to want these companies to be transparent with Congress about it.
