Big fight brewing over regulation of metals derivatives

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

This Reuters story is a few days old but it indicates
that a big fight is brewing in Congress over regulation
of derivatives in the over-the-counter metals markets.

How fascinating that Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan,
Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, Senate Banking Committee
ranking member Phil Gramm, and Gramm's wife, Wendy,
former chairman of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission
and a member of the board of directors of Enron, don't want
a public examination of the metals derivatives markets.

And how fun that a liberal Democrat... should want just
the sort of greater transparency already advocated
by Texas Rep. Ron Paul with his legislation to bring
the Exchange Stabilization Fund to heel before Congress.

Something big may be going on here.
