    • Senator John SUNUNU (R-NH).
      • On the issue of consumer safety, Mr. Hillman used the phrase ‘‘working to ensure that consumers are best protected’’ and talked a little bit about the Twin Peaks Model which separates this responsibility for consumer protection.
      • But that can create significant problems in that there are elements of consumer protection or consumer services that could and would have a direct effect on the safety and soundness of the institution.
      • It would be a mistake to have an agency or an organization responsible for those consumer protection initiatives without also having an obligation and a responsibility to think through exactly what the effect on this regulation would be on safety and soundness.
  • Senator John SUNUNU (R-NH). So you think things are really going to change. It’s been a slow, painful——
  • Ernst CSISZAR (NAIC, South Carolina Insurance Commissioner): I think——
  • Senator SUNUNU.—dragged-out process——
  • Mr. CSISZAR.—I think we can make a change——
  • Senator SUNUNU.—but things are about to change.
  • Mr. CSISZAR.—and I—you know, as I said, you know, and I’ve been criticized for it, but I welcome this kind of opportunity, in a sense, because it does put pressure on us to change. And I don’t think that’s necessarily bad.  (p94)
