- In 1905, the Armstrong Investigation turned the spotlight onto the New York Life Insurance Company, with McCall taking center stage as its president.
- He testified the company paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to a legislative agent to stop hostile legislation, made big contributions to national political campaigns, and at one point retained a legislative agent to fight federal legislation in Washington.
- He then resigned as president in response. He began to suffer poor health as a result of the investigations and died not long afterwards

- Robert MARKS: Do any companies have concerns regarding not being able to charge a premium that would be high enough to mature the policy on a current interest rate basis with the new guideline premiums being lower?
- In other words, since the interest rates are being credited or say, in the 5 to 5.5 percent range, and there's a six percent interest rate in the calculation of guideline single premiums, would there be a concern that you couldn't even fund the policy on a guaranteed basis?
- Scott Berlin, New York Life. I've heard of that issue.
- Your guideline level is calculated at four percent.
- This is just my feeling, but I don't think that we want to approach the Service to reduce the interest rates from four percent to say, 2.5 to 3 percent because then it opens 7702 up for scrutiny and a whole host of other issues.
- Sometimes the evil you know is better than the evil you don't.
